Happy Homemaker Monday

By
I know, it's sort of late in the day, but I'm finally getting back to my blog, and boy did I have plenty to catch up on.


The weather:::
It's so hot! High 90s all week long. I'm not looking forward to working on the yard today, or the kids' baseball and softball practices this evening.

Right now I am:::
Sitting at the kitchen counter, thinking about cleaning up from lunch and moving laundry around.

On my reading pile:::
Currently I'm reading The Middlesteins by Jami Attenberg. I just finished Into The Water by Paula Hawkins which was amazing!

Movies or Shows I watched this weekend:::
We watched Wonder Woman Saturday night, but that's about it.  We spent the rest of the weekend, at Syd's softball game, the farmers market, helping our friend with his boat at the lake, swimming, and doing yard work.

On my TV:::
Nothing currently but later I am hoping to catch the Amelia Earhart documentary, that I recorded on my DVR, at some point.

On the menu for this week:::
I don't have a lot planned. I'm working on it....

Monday 
    
Tuesday 
One pot Cheesy taco pasta
Wednesday 
Grilled chicken and veggies
Thursday 
lasagne and salad
Friday  
    
Saturday 
  
Sunday 


On my to do list:::
Pick up the kitchen (Ben will do dishes and Sydney will vacuum it)
Finish laundry - Syd's sheets are in the dryer and I have a load to move to the dryer and one more load to wash
Figure out tonight's dinner
Ben's baseball practice at 5:30
Syd's softball practice at 7:00
Have Rylie and Scottie pick up their toys so they can play at the park while the kids have practice.
Sit down and read for a minute or two.
Help Shawn spread mulch in flower beds and attempt to weed the other two we have left to take care of.


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I haven't had time to work on any of it lately and I've been longing for my yarn and crochet hooks. Maybe I'll pick back up my blanket this week.

Looking around the house:::
The house could use some picking up but it's really not too bad. The kids are loudly all playing with toys in the living room and the TV is blaring the Disney Channel. Nobody is even watching though so I could turn it off. I love how they all play together, sometimes they even get along. 

From the camera:::
My birthday isn't for another 8 days yet, but my husband got me my present early. I've wanted a bistro set for this corner since we put the offer in on our house. I love it over there. You can't tell as well from this picture but this corner is sort of hidden by the trees. I'm super in love.



What I'm wearing today:::
I'm wearing a pair of work out shorts and a navy blue t-shirt. I may change in a bit but I may not also...

One of my simple pleasures:::
Watching my kids use their imaginations while playing.


Inspirational Quote, Bible verse, anything you want to share:::

YAY so glad to see you back :) I've just been loving being back on my blog, it's grounding me in a sort of way, if that even makes sense?

Love your bistro set and your quiet corner, that is so sweet of your hubby. I know you'll have many hours quietly sitting there enjoying the fresh air.

I need to read some of these books you are reading, you always have such an interesting list going.

Hope you all have a really good week :)

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...
