Happy Homemaker Monday

Oh boy I'm late today, but better late than never I suppose.

  

As I look outside my window:::
This morning it was warm and beautiful.  Took Ben to the Dr. at 11:45 and it was 65 degrees.  We came out an hour later and it was 15 degrees cooler.  We grabbed ice cream, came home ate lunch and I went outside to get the Halloween decorations down and it was sleeting on me.



Right now I am::: 
Supposed to be folding laundry... but I'm typing my blog and watching this weekend's Good Luck Charlie with Sydney.

Thinking and pondering:::
I could really use some sleep.

On my bedside table:::
Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman (I'm reading it to the kids at bedtime)
The Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson
The First American Cookbook A Facsimile of American Cookery, 1976 by Amelia Simmons

On my tv tonight:::
Bones
Sleepy Hallow
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Playing on the radio:::
Counting Stars by One Republic.  For some reason, I can't get this song out of my head, and I really like it.

On the menu for this week:::

Monday - Chili with cornbread
Tuesday - Beefy Cheesy Spaghetti Casserole
Wednesday - Loaded chicken and potatoes and homemade potatoes
Thursday - Stone Soup at Sydney's school and pizza after
Friday - 
Saturday - 
Sunday - 

On my to do list:::
Laundry
Dishes

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Ben's scarf

My simple pleasure:::
Crocheting by the fire watching a good movie.

Lesson learned the past week:::
Life isn't always fair, especially when it comes to your kids, and you just have to be there to help them get through the rough patches.  

Looking around the house:::
Ben and Rylie are asleep, dinner is on the stove, smelling amazing, and the washer and dryer are running.  Sydney and I are watching Good Luck Charlie.  There is a mountain of laundry in front of me to be folded.  

From the camera:::



On my prayer list:::
My poor Benny who can't seem to kick this ear infection.  He's in a lot of pain and I also just found out that due to his chronic ear infections he has failed his hearing test.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
May the bolts of your gates be iron and bronze; may your strength endure through all your days! Deuteronomy 33:25

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

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...
