Happy Homemaker Monday

The Weather:::
It's cold and we still have snow all over the ground from last week, and tonight through Wednesday we are supposed to get more.  I'm actually kind of excited!

Right now I am: 
Sitting on the couch, snuggling Sydney and sniffling away.

Thinking:
About how much I need to do today, but would much rather get some rest.

On my reading pile:::
The Widow of Larkspur Inn by Lawanna Blackwell, and Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder  We've not been real good about reading lately.  Not the big books anyway.

On my tv::: 
Ripper Street 
Tonight is also the new Bones and Monday Mornings

Homemaking Tips:::
I don't have anything this week

Looking around the house:::
I can hear the tv in the kids room and in the living room.  Rylie is sitting next to me eating crackers and the big kids are watching Phineas and Ferb in their beds.  There are blankets and books on the living room and laundry piled up in the hallway to be washed.

From the camera:::

On my prayer list:::
My mother-in-law who isn't feeling well and also everyone who has to travel or work in the snow that will be hitting us soon.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. ~ Luke 6:36
