♥♥The Weather♥♥
It’s nice and chilly today. This up and down weather is definitely killing my head. Also, I’m going to have the biggest arm muscles from lugging all my potted plants inside and back out again.

Tuesday - Partly cloudy, 51
Wednesday - Sunny, 62
Thursday - Rainy, 48
Friday - Snow possible, 48
Saturday -  Sunny, 62
Sunday - Partly Cloudy, 66


♥♥How I am feeling this morning♥♥
I’ve got a headache and my throat is a bit phlegmy this morning. I’m hoping that as I continue with my coffee that all breaks up and I can move on with my day.


♥♥On my mind♥♥
I’ve got a million things going on in my mind today. We’ve got a new fridge coming this week, the car salesman looking for a car for us (my car has been in and out of the shop and we’re thinking with the low interest and dealerships being desperate, right now might be a good time to buy), week 2 for the girls’ school is starting today, week 3 of school for Ben starts today. Scottie’s birthday is on Thursday and I’m trying to keep it as fun and normal as I can even though we can’t go anywhere and have anyone over. We need groceries, but I’m trying to hold off on a grocery trip until the new fridge gets here. We’re moving our old fridge into the garage so we can hopefully actually keep enough food on hand for 2 weeks.               


♥♥On the breakfast plate♥♥
It’s 10:00 and I still haven’t eaten. I’ve only been drinking my coffee. I think I may grab and yogurt and some granola really quickly so I can take my morning meds and vitamins.


♥♥On my reading pile♥♥
Last night I finished The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver. I’m reading Will I Ever Pee Alone Again by Emma Conway (which is more and more relevant by the day) and I’m listening to The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel on Audible. I’m thinking about starting The Guest List by Lucy Foley today. I’ve been enjoying the light romantic books but maybe I need a can’t put it down Thriller.

 ♥♥On my tv♥♥
Youtube vlogs
Little Fires Everywhere        


♥♥On the menu this week♥♥

Monday - Pulled Pork and deviled eggs
Tuesday - Chicken Curry with rice
Wednesday - Instant Pot Smoked Sausage and White Bean Soup
Thursday -  Chipotle takeout for Scottie’s birthday (she loves their cheese quesadillas)
Friday - homemade pizza
Saturday -
Sunday - 

 ♥♥From the camera♥♥
 Cleo decided to dig up my green onions on Saturday so Shawn built a nice table for me to put my smaller pots of herbs.    


♥♥Looking around the house♥♥
My house is total chaos right now, but who’s house isn’t? I’m sitting at the counter, Scottie is finishing up her school at the table. Ben, Sydney and Rylie are all done with school for the day so I have them cleaning their rooms and then they’ll be moving on to the living rooms. I have full laundry hampers calling my name and I need to move my plants back outside as the herbs are all on the floor behind me in the kitchen. I’ve got my box for Easter decorations sitting on the counter so I can put them all away today. Lots and lots of little messes.

♥♥Chore I'm not looking forward to today, or this week♥♥
I need to scrub the kitchen floor. With everyone living in my kitchen it’s hard to find time to actually clean it well, and between the cats, the dog, the plants, arts and crafts, and the 3 meals a day and snacks 7 days a week, it’s a complete mess.

♥♥To relax this week, I will♥♥
Same thing as every week. Watching TV and movies with the kiddos. We’re loving LEGO Masters and Masked Singer. Reading, crocheting, yoga with Shawn, gardening, reading about gardening, etc.    

♥♥On my prayer list♥♥
Everyone right now could use some prayers. I’m praying for those affected by the virus and people who are struggling with their mental health whether it be depression or anxiety from being trapped at home, for fear of the virus (like myself) and struggling to deal with being parent/spouse/teacher/employer/everything.

With a full house cleaning kitchen floors sure must be complicated. I put away Easter decor today too.
Have a great 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...
