Happy Homemaker Monday

By


The weather:::
Rainy! The high today is about 60 but it's pouring and supposed to continue all day. I think it's supposed to be this way off and on all week, just like last week.

On my reading pile:::
Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella. I think I'll finish it today or tomorrow and then I'll start another one. Probably Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella. I'm flying through books right now.

Movies or Shows I watched this weekend:::
I didn't really watch any TV this weekend out side of Wrestlemania. I'm not a big wrestling fan, but my son and husband are, so I do it for them.


On my TV:::
I'm not sure. Hopefully I'll finally get to Grace and Frankie this week. I also need to watch last week's Grey's Anatomy.


On the menu for this week:::

Monday 
Taco Soup with chips
Tuesday 
Chicken curry with rice, broccoli and asparagus
Wednesday 
Bangers and mash with broccoli and asparagus
Thursday 
Spaghetti with salad and bread
Friday 
Parmesan Crusted Tilapia with balsamic roasted carrots and lemon roasted potatoes
Saturday
Homemade Pizza
Sunday 



On my to do list:::
Monday - Laundry! Finish putting books and craft stuff from garage away, Ben's art class, Sydney's soccer practice, put in grocery order
Tuesday - Grocery delivery, Ben's field trip, deep cleaning living room furniture, Ben's soccer practice, Rylie's dance pictures
Wednesday - Floors, kid's marathon club, ben's art class, Sydney's dance pictures
Thursday - Dusting and Glass, Ben's soccer practice
Friday - Sort through kid's toys
Saturday - Sydney and Rylie's soccer, Sydney and Rylie possibly in fashion show, family over


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Nothing yet, but I did get a large stash of yarn from the garage yesterday and plan to start something, probably a granny square blanket, so I can easily come and go from the project as I need to.



Looking around the house:::
I have a huge pile of laundry that needs washing. I've already done a load today, but didn't get any done this weekend and had a sick kiddo this weekend so all the living room blankets and the kids sheets are getting a wash. The dishes from yesterday are in the kitchen sink. Mostly just a couple of cups and plates, but those need tending to. As for the picking up and what not, the house is mostly clean. I've just got a little work to do. Rylie is currently in her bed and Scottie is in Sydney's while they watch My Little Pony and laze around. Shawn's working in the office downstairs.


From the camera:::
Ok, so for the amazingness of this picture to really come through, you need backstory. I'm a pretty decent cook, at least my husband thinks so. My kids think I should cook less veggies, but usually they like my cooking as well. While cooking comes easy to me, baking does not. I've never been able to make a cake from scratch that doesn't taste like flour. One year, many years ago, before I had kids probably, I decided to make biscuits to go with Thanksgiving dinner. Well, something went wrong and they were flat. I decided they couldn't possibly be that bad, put them in a gallon size ziplock baggie and took them to my family's Thanksgiving dinner. When Mom and Grandma were getting all the food out, Grandma grabbed the bag of my biscuits and asked "Who made the sugar cookies?" I, probably red faced from embarrassment, explained that they weren't sugar cookies, but biscuits. My Grandma grabbed the bag by the corner like they were contaminated by something horrible, and dropped them in the trash. I'd never attempted biscuits again after this traumatic event. Last week, while Shawn and I were working on the meal plan, he decided he wanted these rosemary biscuits with his chicken pot pie soup. Of course, I was terrified they'd be awful and I'd be justified in never baking them. Guess what! They turned out amazing and I'm no longer afraid of baking biscuits.


What I'm wearing today:::
I've got on a pair of jeggings and a navy blue t-shirt. When I go out today, I'll need to wear my rain boots.


One of my simple pleasures:::
Lately, it truly has just been reading. I've been devouring book after book. I've needed this for so long.


Bible verse, Devotional:::

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...

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...
