Happy Homemaker Monday

I missed last week due to technical difficulties, but I'm back this week!  Hope every one had a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day.

The weather.....
Getting warmer again.




Right now I am....
Sitting on the couch, watching Will and Grace with the girls, while Ben watches videos on his iPad.
 
Thinking....
I am just exhausted today.  This weekend was so much fun, but it was gone too fast!

On my reading pile....
Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.  I'm reading it to my kids.  I haven't read it since I was a kid.  

On my TV.....
Will and Grace for now.  Sydney is obsessed with Will and Grace and I have always loved it.  It kind of makes me proud.  Later, fingers crossed that I will finally get the chance to watch Season 3 of Downton Abbey.

What I found while surfing the net....
Great Girls Your Daughter Should Know  It's a great blog post about books and the inspiring female characters in them that every little girl should become acquainted with instead of the Bella in Twilight type.  I'm working my way through this list with my kids.

On the menu for this week....
Monday: Crunchy Beef Casserole
Tuesday: Pizza
Wednesday: Lemon Pork Chops with Mustard Sauce
Thursday: Chicken Thighs with Carrots and Potatoes
Friday: Out to eat
Saturday: Out to eat for Torren's Birthday
Sunday:
On my to do list....
Laundry
Kitchen floor
Dishes

In the craft basket....
Granny Square Blanket

Looking forward to this week....
Ben's last week of school.  I'm a little sad about it, because he loves it so much and I get to go to his school and socialize with his classmates parents.  There are some really amazing, nice, smart women there, but I'm also excited about having him home all summer so we can do lots of other fun things.

Looking around the house....
The kids are playing and making messes.  I have a load of laundry to be folded waiting in the hallway.  There are a few dishes in the sink, and piles of junk on the kitchen table in need of being put away.  

From the camera....



On my prayer list.....
Sandra and her family while they wait for their news to tell them what their future holds.
My husband for safe travels later this week.

Bible verse, Devotional....
Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

Hi, I've just popped by via Sandra :) I love Will & Grace too, such a hilarious show!

The blog post you link to is so great, my little girl is still too young to worry at the moment but I definitely want her to know female characters that are not the 'Bella type' as she gets older!

Have a lovely 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...
