Simple Woman's Daybook entry for December 29th

I'm still trying to get the hang of this, but here's my first Simple Woman's Daybook entry:

Monday, December 29, 2008


Outside my window...

It is sunny and although it is cold, it is warmer than it has been.


I am thinking...
There are things I need to gather for my husband for a meeting tomorrow evening, and I should not procrastinate!


I am thankful for...
My husband and his steady, reliable job and my children and their laughter and noise, even when it gets a little "too" loud. And finally for the gift of this pregnancy.


From the learning rooms...
We have a short break for the rest of the week, as the cousins are coming!


From the kitchen...
I made an 8-yolk butter cake with cocoa icing for my father's birthday! We also managed to get some Forgotten Cookies in the oven, but the meringue does not seem to want to set just right.


I am wearing...
Loose and comfortable clothing since I am starting to "feel" pregnant!


I am creating...
A baby blanket on a Knifty Knitter for our expected little one.


I am going...
To stay at home today and just try to relax as I am not feeling too well.


I am reading...
Aside from the Bible, I am also taking a break from "school" and books this week to prepare for our expected company.


I am hoping...
To be able to find all of the paperwork my husband needs tomorrow, as my children constantly relocate things in their efforts to "help" - and somehow do not always put things in the proper designated spot.


I am hearing...
The last of the Christmas music on a local radio station.


Around the house...
I have neatened up a little bit, cleaned up the kitchen and a few areas in the dining room and am generally pleased that I made some progress despite being sick.


One of my favorite things...
Receiving Christmas cards from family and friends.


A few plans for the rest of the week:
Tuesday: Finding the rest of that paperwork for my husband!
Wednesday: Three doctor appointments for my high-risk pregnancy, including an ultra sound -- I will get to see the growth of my precious little one!!!

Thursday: Spending time with my husband, who as the day off!!

Friday: Going to the hospital to be supportive as my mother gets back surgery.

Saturday: Visiting with my sister and my nieces! Church tonight!!!

Sunday: Finalizing January homeschool schedules, making sure my three public schooled children have their homework ready for the morning, logging in to my online college to prepare for the week's work.


Here is picture thought I am sharing...
