My nesting place for the past 5 weeks has been the recliner nestled closely to the wood stove. I've watched Christmas and New Year's come and go from my place of rest. I've overseen school and meals and chores from here as well. And while it's a cozy place to spend the winter, I'm growing weary of it. I want life to return to normal. I want to eat real food and do real work. I want to have energy to go places and see people. I'm ready to feel pregnant instead of just sick. ( I even did another pregnancy test this week to make sure this was real and not just something wrong in my head! It was still positive.) I want my husband to stay home for more than 3 days of the week!
That's a lot of wants. So to balance it here's my list of things I'm thankful for: Carnation Instant Breakfast, hashbrowns, jello, and ginger ale, a good job for my husband (even if he has to travel 4 days a week), the company of my kids at home, phone calls from Daniel, the fellowship of my church family on a snowy Sunday afternoon (you brightened my day), and most of all knowing that Shannon is on a flight home and will be here when I wake in the morning.
