FOR TODAY Monday, January 19th, 2009…

Outside my window…
The sun is setting. It was a beautiful day – barely needed a coat. We’re hoping it heats up a little more and melts the sheet of ice outside the house (the same one the UPS Man got stuck on).

I am thinking…
About my mom. January has always been a hard month for her (the 25th of January is when my sister died about 30 years ago), post-Christmas, it’s winter – but this particular January has been harder than usual. She learned she has some degenerating discs in her back that will eventually need back surgery, and some people haven’t been very nice to her. :(

I am thankful for…
freedom to meet with other pro-lifers at the State Capital to rally for life.

From the kitchen…
We’ll probably have some split pea and ham soup that my mom made. We went up to my parent’s house yesterday and she happily gave us her leftovers. Yum!

I am wearing…
Denim skirt, black shirt, black tichel.

I am creating…
Still nothing. I picked up some flannelette today – a yard in blue with bulldozers and trucks and other construction equipment all over it, and two yards of pink with monkeys and hearts. The blue is for my friend and my cousin for their sons, the pink is for who knows what. :P

I am going…
to hopefully start sewing up some stuff this week!

I am reading…
Nothing.

I am hoping…
My mom has a better rest of the month. Greg and I brought her a care package while we were visiting her, so hopfully that cheered her up.

I am hearing…
Glorious Sleeping Baby Silence. That, and Greg watching the World’s Strongest Man competition.

Around the house…
Laundry, laundry, and more laundry. Elise got some more clothes this weekend (imagine that!).

One of my favorite things…
Our little girl is a real roley-poley. She’s learning that she can roll to stuff she wants (toys, a mirror, etc) so I know my days of having a stationary child are ending soon!

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Not a whole lot. Maybe sleep more? Greg has a four-day week, so that’s a relief. I’m feeling particularly tired today and I’m not sure why.

Here is picture thought I am sharing…


Elise and I talking with a gal at the pro-life rally today. It was very good and we heard from many of our State’s lawmakers who are actively defending life at all stages. Deo gratias!
