THE SIMPLE WOMAN’S DAYBOOK
FOR TODAY

MARCH 9, 2009

Outside My Window...it is still dark. We have a new dusting of snow on the cold ground.

I am thinking...that the coffee I am brewing smells mighty fine. I am hoping to enjoy a cup by myself before the kids start rising from their beds.

From the learning rooms...we are taking this week off to get some things done around the house. Lucas will keep up with his reading and Justin will continue to work on his deadlines, but other than that we are on Spring "Cleaning" Break.

I am thankful for...each one of my children. They bless me daily.

From the kitchen...I'm thinking about making French Breakfast Puffs for breakfast (depending on how long this post takes), left over spaghetti for lunch and baked potatoes for dinner. We will delight in fresh carrots from our garden as a snack.

I am wearing...my Cabela's slippers and a purple dress that my husband finds simply unattractive. He only has to suffer through it for about one more week. Then it will be no more. This purple piece of flowing cloth is very comfy and non confining...important criteria in the last weeks of pregnancy.

I am creating...a response to an email that I received this past week. A response that heeds much thought, prayer and guidance from the Lord.

I am going...to enjoy my last few moments, hours, days of being pregnant. There is no feeling like the feeling of life inside my body. I am really, really, really ready to hold our son, but I am saddened to be done being pregnant. Only our Creator God knows if I will experience such life inside me again. I want to cherish every moment.

I am reading...still working on Mother. It is an easy read and it isn't very long, but I rarely take the time to sit down and just read.

I am hoping...to have a productive and happy week. Even though we are cleaning all week, I am hoping to have fun with great attitudes.

I am hearing...the hum of my computer and the fridge. My house is extremely and unusually quiet.

Around the house...all the children are sleeping. SHHHHH.....

One of my favorite things...a genuine smile.

A few plans for the rest of the week...hopefully a haircut, spring cleaning, AWANAs, a Laura appointment, a cleaning day with my friend Jodie Kyodie and enjoying my home, kiddos and husband.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

This is a picture of my niece, Alex, and her pig, UB, at her first ever FFA show. She won second place in her class of showing. Great job, Alex.
