Simple Woman’s Daybook – February 27th 2012

For today – February 27th 2012

Outside my window… The sun is shining and it’s finally warming up.  It’s now 45* – when I dropped Caty off this morning it was 36*.

I am thankful for… my family and friends!!

In the kitchen…  The dishwasher is finishing and the coffee pot is beeping letting me know that it’s done for the day.

I am wearing… sweats and a sweatshirt – keeping warm!

I am creating… BLOGS, BLOGS and more BLOGS!!!  I have slacked lately and it’s time to get back into the swing of things. 

I am going to… be watching a new baby starting in April.  She was born in December and her mom will be going back to work in April.  Love the family and really looking forward to the extra money that it will bring in. 

I am reading… the Twilight series again – halfway through New Moon.

I am hoping… to win at Bunco tonight!

I am hearing…  KNCI (one of our local country radio stations) playing through the computer and Dora the Explorer on the TV. 

Around the house… There’s laundry to do (isn’t there always?) and dishes to put away as soon as there are done.

A few plans for the rest of the week…  Playing Bunco tonight (but you already knew that), not much else going on though. 

A picture that I’m sharing… umm…someone had fun at the park yesterday!

Twelve Days of Christmas – a NEW version

I stumbled upon this poem and just had to share it!!  I LOVE IT!!

The Twelve  Days of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a child with a disability.

On the second day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a heart full of love for my child with a disability.

On the third day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: an ache in my heart and a heart full of love for my child with a disability.

On the fourth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a tear in my eyes, an ache in my heart and a heart full of love for my child with a disability.

On the fifth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.

On the sixth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.

On the seventh day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a sense of humor, a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.

On the eighth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: supportive friends, a sense of humor, a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.

On the ninth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: remarkable doctors & therapists, supportive friends, a sense of humor, a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.

On the tenth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: an appreciation of small accomplishments, remarkable doctors & therapists, supportive friends, a sense of humor, a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.

On the eleventh day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a sense of pride, an appreciation of small accomplishments, remarkable doctors & therapists, supportive friends, a sense of humor, a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, the good Lord said to me: Reach out and share your sense of pride, your appreciation of small accomplishments, your remarkable doctors & therapists, your supportive friends, your sense of humor, your ray of hope, your unsuspected strength for the tear in your eyes and the ache in your heart and your heart full of love for your child with a disability.
