There is a new format for Happy Homemaker Monday that started this week but because I'd already typed up using the old one, I'll wait to change until next week.  Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday and a great week.

HHM


The weather outside is::::
It's quite gloomy at the moment but it is about 60 degrees.  I think the high today is 81 with some rain this morning and this evening.  I think we are supposed to get rain all week.  


On the breakfast plate this morning::::
At the moment, just a coffee with some Italian creme coffee creamer and a juice.  here in a minute or two I'm going to go make some eggs and maybe some bacon though.

As I look outside my window:::
It's just sort of gloomy and rainy and the wind is really blowing.

Right now I am::::
Sitting at the foot of my bed typing up this post avoiding the housework that beckons me.

As I look around the house::::
Scotland is bouncing so cute and sweetly on my bed and laughing like a little loon.  Ben's at school already.  Sydney and Rylie are playing with dolls in their bedroom.  Shawn is on a call in the office directly below us.  I can hear his voice through the floor.  When he's on calls I keep the kids either out of the house or upstairs so the kids can't be heard on the phone.  The house is in need of some picking up.  There is a pile of dirty laundry at the bottom of the stairs and a few piles of folded clean laundry on the living room ottoman in need of being put away.

On today's to do list::::
Grocery shopping
Dishes
Laundry
Rinse Diapers to wash
Finish the Teacher Appreciation gifts
Dance - Sydney
Enroll the kids in Summer Soccer Camp

Currently reading::::
Game of Thrones for myself, The Never Girls to Sydney and Harry Potter with Ben 

On the TV today::::
Vlogs

Call the Midwife
Wolf Hall

Bones
(I got so far behind on all of my TV shows that my DVR literally filled up and has been deleting things as well.  Thank goodness I have Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Videos to help me with my missed shows, but I find that I get sidetracked instead and find a whole new series that I binge watch and then start the process over again.  HAHAHA!)

Monday -Savory Beef and noodles
Tuesday - Sweet and Sour Pork Chops with yellow rice and veggies
Wednesday -  Cowboy Casserole
Thursday - Chicken Quesadillas with Rice and beans

Your menu looks YUM.

I love that picture, your girls are adorable :)

I have yet to watch the Lizzie Borden Chronicles. Be sure to check out Home Fires I think you will love it, it's based on the WI in England, the Woman's Institute during the war and how they made jam etc. Love it.

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...
