Blessings From Home

Monday at Home

Wow, December is already blowing in...literally here in Oklahoma. The wind is really howling today and the bitter windchills are keeping us all snuggled up in our warm sweaters and jackets.

We no longer have to wonder wether this baby will be a November or December baby....He better be a December baby! LoL. My due date is less than a week away, and amazingly, I feel no closer to going into labor than I did a week ago...in fact, I think I feel farther away because last week I was having a lot more contractions than I've been having the last several days. I just keep reminding myself that this baby will be here in God's time, and not Sara time.

This morning I've already taken the van to the car repair place. So for the next several days or weeks, we are without a vehicle. As I've said before, I'm thankful my parents live only a couple of blocks away, and are available whenever we may need them. I went on Saturday and stocked up on groceries for the week, and shouldn't need to go again until at least Thursday, which is my usual shopping day. I'll have to go to the midwife this week, and my mom will be taking me to that. And my dad will be taking my husband to work every morning and my mom will be picking him up in the afternoon. So with the exception of going to the store once this week, and the midwife once, we'll be home all week, which I am very thankful for. I so enjoy time at home, especially when the weather is cold out.

Other plans, here at home this week are to work on Christmas presents for everyone, do some holiday baking, do some fun crafts with the kids, and finish up the rest of schoolwork needing done before we take off the rest of the year, and also to reclaim my once cleaned home to what it was before the holiday. Not that it is anywhere near as bad as it was, but when hubby is home, everything gets much more relaxed around here, plus we spent the weekend putting up Christmas decorations, and I need to finish that up and pack the boxes away. I ofcourse have laundry to do, towels today, and sheets, and whatever else I can get do to keep us busy. I'm off for now, as I speak my kids are off playing *gasp* together. And it seems they are actually getting along for the moment. I may have to take a picture! Have a blessed day!
