FOR TODAY, Thursday, Sept 15, 2011-- first day I've been home this week!
Outside my window... it's a cloudy and brisk fall morning. The leaves are still green.
I am thinking... about my to-do list for the day, and how Matt-time will take priority, as always. (It shows in my house!)
I am thankful for... hot cups of coffee on cool mornings. It's the first morning that the kitchen floor has been cool/cold.
From the kitchen... I think a Crock-Pot meal is in order
I am wearing...pajamas
I am creating... need to create 1st birthday invitations. Just finished a "going away to college" basket for my brother-in-law (food, cleaning supplies).
I am reading... I need to be reading my Bible. I've been settling for Matt's First Bible Stories lately-- sometimes I think the simplicity of that is better for me. You know, some days just require straight-to-the-point stories.
I am praying... for God's will in the last two weeks of September as we attempt to sell all of the restaurant equipment and finish cleaning out the space. Sad, but we're really ready to move on. Now we just need the equipment to sell so we can pay the rest of the loan.
-Praying for our church building, which as a mold issue.
-Praying for little Sophie, 2 years old, who has brain cancer (the details are not completely clear at this point, and the doctors think there is a small chance it is curable. I used to work with Sophie's mom. Please keep this family in your prayers!)
-Praying for Matt to gain weight. The doctor would like him to be gaining more weight than he is, and our next weigh in is October 19. He needs to gain about a pound. If he doesn't gain the weight the doctor will run some tests. I have to admit I am not concerned, nor am I surprised that my baby is small. The doctor is just being cautious, but is not overly worried.
I am hoping... to get everything unpacked and organized from our trip. We brought home a lot of restaurant memorabilia (decorations, etc) and it is in piles on the sunporch. My mom is bringing the big stuff (jelly cupboard, decorated ladders, etc) next month.
Around the house... some piles to put away, and I'm sure it could use a good cleaning, but it's cozy and comfy and that's what matters!
One of my favorite things... good conversations with friends
Pondering these words... "Clothe yourself in tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, making allowances for each others faults, forgiveness, and most importantly, wear love." Col 3:12-14
A few plans for the rest of the week... enjoying fall and family

Nice picture ;-)
I like your attitude about enjoying your family instead of stressing about cleaning the house ~ Good choice, my friend!
Oh how I can relate to a lot of what you shared but especially the small kiddo thing. Been there done that and still going through it. I'm glad your Dr isn't being too pushy as genetics really do play a part (you ARE pretty petite yourself!) It's good to check for possible issues but not stress. Continued prayers for you!
