Tuesday Daybook

Today - December 18, 2012

Outside my window.... cool and sunny but it's supposed to get to 72 today!  BOO!

I am thinking... about everything that needs to be accomplished over the next few days.  

I am thankful... for such a wonderful, sweet, and easy baby.  I can just lay him down on the bed and he goes to sleep!!  He nurses so well too and is a WONDERFUL sleeper!  I have not lost any sleep over him whatsoever!  

From the schoolroom... taking a "just had a baby" break until after Christmas! 

From the kitchen... lovely snacky things from our new Trader Joes!  I can not tell you how NICE it is to be able to shop there again!  Gabe and I both felt refreshed after our first shopping trip there even though we had five kids in tow!  

I am creating... a packing list!

I am working on... not nagging my hubby to do his chores.  Any tips ladies to help him remember?  :)  It's not like he doesn't do anything around the house, it's just hard for him to remember which chores are his to be done.  I guess that's not a bad thing so I shouldn't really be complaining right? :)  

I am going... to change a dirty diaper here in a minute!  phew!

I am wondering... Whether it'll be better to drive during the day or night with the children.  I'm just worried that Gabe and I will be too tired to drive.  Any thoughts?  It's a 15 1/2 hour drive not including stops.....

I am hoping... that Juliette will recover from whatever she has.  It may be a teething thing, but she's also coughing.  Poor little thing is so miserable.  :(  Aidan's coughing too but it's not keeping him from running around like a crazy man.  :)

I am praying... for all those affected by the tragic shooting in CT.  Can I just say, some of the stories I've read and the interviews I've seen have just made me so so sad.  :(  I just can not imagine....


I am reading... a novel, Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset.  It is a big FAT book because it's three parts in one, so I'm hoping to get through a big chunk of it while we're on the road!



I am looking forward to... being with my family to celebrate Christmas!  And catching up with my sister and brother who just returned from a semester in Rome.  

Around the house... piles of clothes ready to be put in suitcases, a house decked out in Christmas decor and some pretty wrapped packages under the tree.  

One of my favorite things... still loving the new baby cuddles and nursings   I don't know what could be better than that!  

A few plans for the rest of my week... yesterday was my six week post partum check-up.  Today I'm making a meal for my neighbor who recently had a baby, tomorrow packing, Thursday night a dinner and gift exchange with friends and Friday we hit the road!  

A peek into my day...  someone is giving us his first smiles!  Can't tell you how much I am in love with this little guy.
