The weather.....
It's so hot, but I'm looking forward to cooler temps later this week and Ben's birthday party should be wonderful! 



Right now I am....
EXHAUSTED!

Thinking....
I would love to get a little nap in but have so much to do around the house and crazy kids to play with.

On my reading pile....
I'm still working on Eleanor from a few weeks back.  Haven't really been doing much reading lately...

On my TV.....
Breaking Amish
Sisterwives
Just finished last night's Breaking Bad

On the menu for this week....

Monday - Frozen Pizza 
Tuesday -  Spaghetti with meat sauce 
Wednesday - Potato and Broccoli egg casserole
Thursday - Taco Salad
Friday -  
Saturday - BBQ
Sunday - 

On my to do list....
Laundry
Dishes and kitchen clean up

Get shelter reserved for Ben's birthday party
Figure out Ben's birthday cake

In the craft basket....
I'm dying to sew or crochet.  I need to get my hands in to my craft basket.  
  
Looking forward to this week....
Shawn coming home on Wednesday from Boston, figuring out what is going to happen with Rylie's mouth wound, working on our routine, and Ben's 6th Birthday party on Saturday.

Looking around the house....
Rylie is napping in her playpen and Sydney is watching the Fresh Beat Band on her iPad in her bed.  I have laundry that needs to be put away in a basket on the living room floor and dishes to be washed in the kitchen.

From the camera....
This picture is from Sydney's first day of Preschool.


On my prayer list.....
My husband who is traveling this week.  Myself, as I need the strength to get through these next couple of weeks.  Everything is happening all at once for our family (husband traveling for work, school starting, extra curricular activities, birthday parties, etc) and to top it off my girls refuse to sleep so I'm hardly sleeping at all on top of running all day long.

Bible verse, Devotional....
Trust in the Lord forever! For the Lord is an eternal Rock.  ~ Isaiah 26:4

AHHH first day of preschool. How stressful. I remember when my boys were droppe doff for preschool. It is so hard to do, but I know it was the best thing. I just couldn't get over how quiet the house was!
I hope you have a blessed week. Your menu looks great and I would love to see you recipe for Potato and broccoli casserole!

I like simple menus on busy weeks...which seem to be what my life has consisted of for months now LOL

Hope you have a good week and especially hope your girls start sleeping so you can get some rest.

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

By
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...

Happy Homemaker Monday

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
