FOR TODAY…March 21, 2011
Outside my window… the weather is cold and rainy. I haven’t seen the sun in four days. Unusual.
I am thinking… about going through labor again. On one hand, it is easier because I know what it will be like. On the other hand, it is scarier because I know what it will be like!
I am thankful … that I have no appointments today and I can try and rest a little.
I am wearing… black yoga pants, a blue preggers top and bare feet. (Barefoot and pregnant. There’s a cliché.)
I am remembering… that throughout the day I must continually turn my mind and heart to Christ for strength.
I am going… to try and put JP down for a nap if Andrew can keep himself quiet for ten minutes.
I am hoping… well, it would be more like “wishing” I could take a nap myself. I am so exhausted!
I am reading… over some of the past entries in my pregnancy journal for Baby RoL.
I am hearing… the sounds of “Dino Dan” on TV and Andrew’s roars as he animates his plastic dinosaurs.
On my mind… too much to narrow down.
From the kitchen… dinner is ready to go – Brian Boitano’s Cheese Cart Mac & Cheese, ham steak, broccoli and a green salad.
Around the house… are various train tracks and Thomas the Train engines.
One of my favorite things… when Brian comes home and gives me a knowing hug without me having to say a word.
Pondering these words… “I love you, Mommy.” Somehow it makes all the inconveniences and tiredness worth it. (And as if to prove it, outside my window the clouds are moving. I can see some blue sky now. At this rate I may even get a quick catnap. 🙂
From my picture journal…
