Happy Homemaker Monday

By
I really have been MIA for a couple of weeks.  We've had a lot going on in our home.  We've been under the weather for a couple of weeks as well.  Finally, I think we are getting better and things are getting in order for us.

  
The Weather:::

 A little warmer this week than the past week or so.  Maybe we'll be able to get out and enjoy Halloween trick-r-treating on Thursday!



Right now I am::: 
Sitting on the couch while I watch the today show and enjoy a cup of English Breakfast Tea. 

Thinking:::
About how to prepare this pork loin for dinner.  After some research, I think I've come up with a good idea to create a yummy dinner. 

On my reading pile:::
I'm finally going to start Then Came You by Jennifer Weiner. She is my favorite author after all.
Also, Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible.  You should see my cookbooks.  Post its hanging out everywhere "pinning" recipes I can't wait to try, and little notes in the margins when I do try them.  I am a cookbook junky!

On my tv:::
I'm not really sure at this moment.  If the kids allow, then I may get some Walking Dead in, but the kids have to be occupied elsewhere.  Other than that, I'm not sure.  Maybe I'll finally take the opportunity today to get caught up on Downton Abbey.

On the menu for this week:::

Monday - Apricot Glazed Pork Loin, Roasted Veggies, and Homemade bread
Tuesday - Chili and Cornbread  
Wednesday - Pizza
Thursday - Going out for my neices birthday 
Friday - 
Saturday - 
Sunday - 

On my to do list:::
Laundry
Carve pumpkins with the kids


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I haven't had a chance to do much, although I'm dying to get back to my Granny square blanket, maybe work on a couple of scarves for Sydney and my niece, Langston, and some aprons. 

Looking around the house:::
My house is actually pretty clean.  There are a few toys in the living room to be picked up and a basket of laundry waiting to be washed in the hallway.  The dishwasher is running in the kitchen, the dryer is running.  The girls are both watching Special Agent Oso on their iPads.  I'm so excited to not have a ton of cleaning to do, and to not feel bogged down by chores and a mess.  I can actually enjoy my home.

From the camera::: 
Shawn had been gone all day visiting his uncle a few hours away.  He came home and the kids were so excited.  They all picked Halloween books for him to read to them before bed.



On my prayer list:::
My husband's family as they begin to heal from the passing of Shawn's Grandma.  

Bible verse, Devotional:::
and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us. ~ Romans 5:5

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...

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...
