Happy Homemaker Monday

Jeeze, I think weekends need one more day!  We had one of the best weekends in a really long time.  No stress and lots of fun, but now I need a day to rest and recover.


The weather outside is::::
A smidge chilly, although it will be warming up today to about 50.

 

On the breakfast plate this morning::::
A peppermint mocha, almond croissant, and a banana and strawberry fruit pouch.

As I look outside my window:::
The sun is shining and I can see the Christmas lights on the house and our tree out front.  Everything is damp and soggy, so I dare not go out there.

Right now I am::::
Sitting on the couch next to a sleeping Scotland, while the kids lay on the other couch and chair, watching Peppa Pig. 

As I look around the house::::
I have a load of laundry in the dryer to fold and one in a basket waiting for me to fold as well.  There are a couple of dishes in the sink that need a good hand washing and I can hear the dishwasher running now.  I've already gone grocery shopping, this morning, for the week, so our cabinets and fridge are full.  The house is clean as we did a pick up, vacuuming, sweeping, steam mopping, and bathroom cleaning last night.  All I have left to do is vacuum upstairs.  It's really nice to have the house ready to go for the week come Monday morning.

On today's to do list::::
Laundry....I have about 2 loads to fold and put away
Dishes.... I have a few to hand wash and will soon have a dishwasher to unload.
Vacuum... The upstairs needs a good vacuuming.
Errands.... I need to make a run to the milk store and a trip to Walmart to pick up the pictures that I had printed.
Cooking.... I need to put some chicken and a can of rotel in the crockpot so I can make easy chicken enchiladas for dinner tonight.
Dance.... Sydney has dance at 5:30
Wrestling.... Ben has wrestling at 6:00

Currently reading::::
I'm reading Game of Thrones by George RR Martin currently as well as Sippy Cups Are Not For Chardonnay by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor 
On the TV today::::
Peppa Pig at the moment.  Maybe some Vlogs

What I am creating at the moment::::
Nothing at the moment, but am working on my Christmas cards if that counts.

New recipe I tried or want to try this week::::
Nothing new at the moment.

The weather..... It appears that Spring has sprung...  Some nice spring storms and mostly warmer weather. Right now I am....
