The Simple Woman's Daybook #8

FOR TODAY... Dec. 21, 2009

Outside my window... The sun is not out, but the day is still bright outside

I am thinking... Of next Monday because that's the day that my Mom from NJ will be home for the holidays!

I am thankful for... The Christmas presents we all received yesterday at the family Christmas party of my DH

I am wearing... A pink printed shirt-dress

I am remembering... The list that I made about the places we will have to go for a visit with my Mom next week

I am going... To gather and organize all Christmas cards we received and put them in my scrapbook of memories

I am reading... Beautiful in God's Eyes by Elizabeth George


I am hoping... That on the day of my Mom's flight, the weather will be bright and sunny

On my mind... Is what to have for Christmas dinner with the family

From the learning rooms... DS and DD are having a ball because Christmas break means no lessons at all for the next two weeks or so

Noticing that... DS is really into serious Chess; he even beat a 27 year old cousin, and an uncle -- DH's elder brother!

Pondering these words... Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: "This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too." -- Luke 2:34-35

From the kitchen... Chicken Pastel, Tinola Soup, and Bean Sprout Vegetable Rolls

Around the house... DS and DD are busy doing their free-play activities, enjoying the Christmas vacation

One of my favorite things... Is a cute, playful puppy dog like a Shih Tzu or a Toy Poodle in the family

From my picture journal...
