The Simple Woman's Notebook
The view from where I sit ...evidence of little people everywhere! I like that my house looks like children live in it. Really.
Outside My Window...beautiful cool evening. Tomatoes and pepper plants probably aren't digging the chilly weather though.
I am thinking...that it's a privilege to change diapers, tuck little people into bed, kiss boo-boos, teach a child to read, play The Tooth Fairy, be "nurse" to someone sick, cheer on a brand new potty trainee, love a child who is acting unlovable.
I am thankful for...a sweet husband who never fails to ask what tempting food he can bring home for me. Just while pregnant though! He is sweet not to ask me that question when I'm trying to practice food discipline!
We are learning...that the caterpillars we found at a restaurant the other day don't like any of the plants in our yard. I don't want to say "I told you so." but I'm this close.
From the kitchen...I flee. Gag!!
I am wearing...my pj pants and a t-shirt. Love living in the pj pants!
I am creating...hopefully a family that will carry on our Christian heritage to future generations. "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth" 3 John 1:4 (NIV) I'm applying that to my grandchildren, great grand-kids, and so forth.
I am going...to plant cucumbers this weekend.
I am reading..."Baby Catcher" by Peggy Vincent. For at least the tenth time. No joke.
I am hoping...to find our new midwife to be one of the two we are interviewing this week. I hate interviews.
I am hearing...a bit of wind outside. So peaceful.
Around the house...our new microwave still smells like burnt hair after last weeks burnt macaroni incident. Brand new microwave. Supposed to go over the stove but so far it's only made it to the top of our dresser.
One of my favorite things...when my girls come up to me and spontaneously throw their arms around me and promise they'll always live with their Dad and I. Next door at the furthest and always with a sister or two (and a bunch of animals) for roommates.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Midwife interviews. Tour of an organic farm.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
