Happy Homemaker Monday

OK, I'm quite late today but better late than never right? Hope today finds everyone well.  I'm also working on an update and really want to do a day in the life post tomorrow.


The weather outside is::::
Cold! Very cold!  I think the high today is 28 but it appears that it's supposed to be 40s the rest of this week. 

On the breakfast plate this morning::::
A delicious but cold coffee and a pear.  I wanted eggs but my morning got away from me.

As I look outside my window:::
The sun is shining and it's somewhat lying to me, because it looks like it should be nice enough to play outside but when you step out, the wind is so cold it burns.

Right now I am::::
Sitting on the couch watching Peppa Pig with my kids.
As I look around the house::::
I have a basket of laundry begging to be folded on the chair next to me and a little picking up to do in the kitchen.  We also have a giant box of Christmas decorations in middle of the kitchen to pick up.
On today's to do list::::
Laundry....I have one more load in the dryer but about two loads and the hang drying to fold.
Cleaning.... Cleaning up the kitchen.  I've done a ton of dishes and picking up already today since we bought new plates, silver wear and pots and pans.
Errands.... Have to run by the bank to pay rent and run by the milk store.
Cooking.....Hopefully my delivery will get here in time for dinner.  If not we'll be making eggs or grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Dance.... Sydney has dance at 5:30
Wrestling.... Ben has wrestling at 6:00

Currently reading::::
I still haven't had much opportunity to read and am only about 100 pages into the first Game of Thrones book.  It really is pitiful of me...
On the TV today::::
Apparently just Peppa Pig as that is all that's been on since we woke up this morning.
On the menu this week::::
Monday - Taco Soup and cornbread
Tuesday - Pork chops, mac and cheese, and veggies
Wednesday - Chicken enchiladas with green sauce
Thursday - Spaghetti with meat sauce and bread
Friday - Pancakes, bacon and eggs
Saturday - 
Sunday - 

What I am creating at the moment::::
I wanted to make a new Doctor Who ornament to go with my Tardis.
New recipe I tried or want to try this week::::
Nothing new at the moment.
Favorite photo from the camera::::
