Simple Woman's Daybook- November 30, 2009

FOR TODAY... from Brittany’s daybook

Outside my window... a little dreary and cold! COLD!

I am thinking... about packing my hospital bags, this week! I know I won’t use them for a little while, but I want to feel prepared.

I am thankful for... my family, who came and helped us paint this weekend! J

I am wearing... jeans, slip on shoes, a teal shirt, and a ponytail

I am remembering... why I need to be resting. I am feeling a little worn down today.

I am going... who knows? I am not supposed to be “overdoing it,” so who knows….

I am currently reading... “Scream For Me” a murder mystery/romance—I’m not too far into the book, so we’ll see how it goes.
I am hoping... I can get a nap in, today.
On my mind... Not a lot. Just the need for rest.

From the learning rooms... coming off vacation...slowly

Noticing that…. My children are amazing little people and I can’t get enough of their imaginations! :

Pondering these words... “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives”- 2 Peter 3:10-11--- AMEN!

From the kitchen... Leftover turkey soup, bratwurst and sweet potato fries, sweet and sour meatballs… That’s all I have planned so far. J
Around the house... Hopefully we get to get the Christmas décor out soon! J I can’t wait to decorate the tree!

One of my favorite things~ Feeling my baby girl kick… 37 more days!

From my picture journal... My beautiful Matty, shaving like daddy! :)

My Boys :)

We had the boys' photos taken yesterday! We've decided to keep pictures down to once a year- and I was told I would be allowed to spend more money that way! ;) So we went yesterday and had their 2-year and 4-year old photos taken. It was a BLAST. Honestly. It was the easiest experience we've ever had, when having photos taken. And here are some of the best shots (I'll even throw in some of the bloopers):

(We learned never to say "booger" around Matthew- because he feels the need to pick his nose, when we do!)

Almost 34 Weeks!

I am starting to feel it... You know... that "I want to be DONE" with this pregnancy....NOW.... feeling.....

I feel large.

I feel swollen.

I am getting "sick" again....which never really happened with the other two.

My ribs hurt.

I cry, because I am in pain.

My back hurts.

AND.....

I want to HOLD my baby GIRL! ;)

and here's my cellphone shot of the week... Almost 34 weeks! ALMOST! 

A Few of Adam's School Pictures

I mean...really... can my kid get ANY cuter??! :)

Simple Woman's Daybook- November 16, 2009

Outside my window...cooler today and it's supposed to rain. boo. 

I am thinking...that more sleep would have been nice, but that I am thankful I was able to sleep at ALL! 

I am thankful for... my family and friends! 

I am wearing... My PJs. And I might just wear them all day.

I am remembering... a lot, lately. Not everything is good. But it is making me appreciate where I've been and where I am.

I am going... out with the girls this week! And hopefully to get the boys' pictures done at some point.

I am reading... about sin...

I am hoping... my little Matty feels better soon.

On my mind... a lot. Too much to list, really.

Noticing that... May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.- 1 Thes 5:23--

This was last week's quote, too. But I am keeping it, because I need to keep pondering the words.

Pondering these words... see above. God is a God of peace, we just have to be willing to seek Him. I am willing. I AM willing!

From the kitchen... I am going to make chicken noodle soup, today. :) yum!

Around the house... Lots of cleaning and getting the house ready to sell. STILL! It's a slow process.
 
One of my favorite things~ Coffee. COFFEE. COFFEE!!!!

32 weeks!

The Simple Woman's Daybook- November 9, 2009

Outside my window... It's warm! Going to be a beautiful FALL day!

I am thinking... what a wonderful weekend we had! Two birthday parties, two FOUR year olds, and lots of family!

I am thankful for... the ones I love. Family and friends.

I am wearing... jeans, tennis shoes, and a short sleeved shirt. Might take the boys to the zoo today! :)

I am remembering... where I've been, where I am now, and how I've gotten here. What an amazing journey. God has been SO good to me.

I am going... to take the kiddos to the zoo (hopefully!) and to Target...because Target is a home away from home! ;)

I am reading... Nothing.....

I am hoping... for a smooth week, with no issues. Please, Lord! We need a small break! :)

On my mind... Wednesday. We get to see Princess Chloe, again! Hoping that me measuring small is just "me" and not her too! :)

Noticing that... May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.- 1 Thes 5:23

Pondering these words... see above. God is a God of peace, we just have to be willing to seek Him. I am willing. I AM willing!

From the kitchen... not sure yet. I seem to be behind on my menu planning. We have a freezer full of food, a pantry full of food (for we are truly blessed); I've just not decided what to make, yet! :) Teryaki Chicken or gumbo? Or pizza? or something completely different? 

Around the house... I am a cleaning machine, today! Before 9am the whole house was "done" being cleaned! Still need to fold that laundry, though. boo.

One of my favorite things~

 

My husband. :) I don't tell him enough. He's wonderful. The best. Loving. Caring. Sensitive. Sarcastic (at the right time...and sometimes when I just need a laugh). handsome. and ALL MINE! :)
