Happy Homemaker Monday

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.

Grocery shopping
Dishes

(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!)

Potato Soup
