Happy Homemaker Monday

I've been sick with pneumonia so hopefully this week gets better.  It's not starting off on a high note...

The Weather:::
It's been pretty cold.  Chance for snow tonight then warming up later in the week up to 60s I believe.

Right now I am: 
Snuggling babies on the couch and watching Brave.

Thinking:
I need to run out and pick up some plants.

On my reading pile:::
Little House on the Prairie
The Widow of Larkspur Inn

On my tv::: 
Brave
Ripper Street
Downton Abbey

Favorite Blog post this week (mine or other):::
I don't have one.  I've been really about blogs this last week since I've been under the weather.

Something fun to share:::
I can't really think  of anything other than we're getting ready for Sydney's birthday this Saturday.  My big girl will be 3.

 On the menu for this week:::


Monday - Jason's Deli
Tuesday - Hamburger steak with sweet onion gravy and mashed potatoes
Wednesday - Roasted chicken and tortellini primavera
Thursday -  Sausage and cheese frittata
Friday - Not sure yet
Saturday -Chuck E Cheese
Sunday -

On my to do list:::
Laundry
Kitchen

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I have a lot I want to start and so much to finish.  I don't even know where to begin.

Homemaking Tips:::
If you're anything like me, you go grocery shopping and come home with bags upon bags of food and nowhere to put it, so you are left with the job of cleaning out the fridge also.  Growing up we had "Find it your own nights" the night before trash day.  You would eat any left overs there was and everything else would get thrown away.  That way the food wouldn't sit in a trash can for up to a week smelling awful and rotting.

Looking around the house:::
The house is still a bit of a mess from being sick last week.  I need to finish it up, but I'm enjoying a movie with the kids.

From the camera:::






On my prayer list:::
My friend Sandra's brother and sister-in-law as they wait to hear about an interview.  My kids and my niece Langston as well as myself as we all struggle to get over illness.  

Bible verse, Devotional:::
Rise up in splendor!  Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you. ~ Isaiah 60:1

Love your crochet, looks very similar to the one I made a few weeks back :)

Hope everyone is feeling better there and that the kids don't get too upset with daddy gone overnight.

Hugs,
Sandra

Thank you. I saw your crochet that you did a couple of weeks ago and loved it so I made two like it, with a back lining to use as 9x13 hot pads. A very pretty touch to my kitchen table.

The kids did so well with their dad being gone. I was really impressed with how easy it was on them, or at least how they showed it anyway.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...
