Outside my window... sunshine, rain puddles, chickens, and a 6-year-old boy who took the initiative to work on moving a pile of firewood.
I am thinking... this might be the last daybook before Baby arrives. :o)
I am thankful for... the yummy smelling late lunch/early dinner that is almost done.
From the learning rooms... planning summer school (mainly math) for Robert and Raechel; also looking ahead to next year.
From the kitchen... homemade corn tortillas, taco meat, Mexican corn, and homemade bread for later.
I am wearing... shorts and a tank top- I changed after work.
I am reading... nothing right now, actually.
I am hoping... we don't have to wait much longer to meet our newest blessing.
I am hearing... my noisy family.
One of my favorite things... having the perfect excuse to be "tired" at any time of day.
A few plans for the rest of the week: work on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and next Sunday afternoon; grocery shopping on Thursday; midwife appointment and Mass on Saturday; or maybe I'll just have a baby.
God bless!

50 Years of the Pill
Fifty years ago last month, the birth control pill revolutionized women's health. The term "women's health" is, of course, a euphemism for sterilization and abortion (often coerced), with the ultimate goal of population control and reduction.
Here are three related quotes- food for thought that I just can't stomach.
Obama's top science advisor, John P. Holdren:
"A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.... The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births."
David Browner, first Executive Director of the Sierra Club:
"Childbearing [should be] a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license ... All potential parents [should be] required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing."
Seeing as how Planned Parenthood is the great champion of "women's health", I'll close this post with this little gem from founder Margaret Sanger:
"The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
