Happy Homemaker Monday

Oh boy I'm late today, but better late than never I suppose.

  

As I look outside my window:::
This morning it was warm and beautiful.  Took Ben to the Dr. at 11:45 and it was 65 degrees.  We came out an hour later and it was 15 degrees cooler.  We grabbed ice cream, came home ate lunch and I went outside to get the Halloween decorations down and it was sleeting on me.



Right now I am::: 
Supposed to be folding laundry... but I'm typing my blog and watching this weekend's Good Luck Charlie with Sydney.

Thinking and pondering:::
I could really use some sleep.

On my bedside table:::
Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman (I'm reading it to the kids at bedtime)
The Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson
The First American Cookbook A Facsimile of American Cookery, 1976 by Amelia Simmons

On my tv tonight:::
Bones
Sleepy Hallow
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Playing on the radio:::
Counting Stars by One Republic.  For some reason, I can't get this song out of my head, and I really like it.

On the menu for this week:::

Monday - Chili with cornbread
Tuesday - Beefy Cheesy Spaghetti Casserole
Wednesday - Loaded chicken and potatoes and homemade potatoes
Thursday - Stone Soup at Sydney's school and pizza after
Friday - 
Saturday - 
Sunday - 

On my to do list:::
Laundry
Dishes

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Ben's scarf

My simple pleasure:::
Crocheting by the fire watching a good movie.

Lesson learned the past week:::
Life isn't always fair, especially when it comes to your kids, and you just have to be there to help them get through the rough patches.  

Looking around the house:::
Ben and Rylie are asleep, dinner is on the stove, smelling amazing, and the washer and dryer are running.  Sydney and I are watching Good Luck Charlie.  There is a mountain of laundry in front of me to be folded.  

From the camera:::



On my prayer list:::
My poor Benny who can't seem to kick this ear infection.  He's in a lot of pain and I also just found out that due to his chronic ear infections he has failed his hearing test.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
May the bolts of your gates be iron and bronze; may your strength endure through all your days! Deuteronomy 33:25

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...
