Happy Homemaker Monday

By
I'm super late, but today has been super busy.  I'm trying to recover from a stomach bug and trying to get my house back in order, while getting into our new groove.

As I look outside my window:::
The sun is going down.  It's quite warm and beautiful outside.  I think it got to 86 today.

Right now I am::: 
Sitting on the couch, snuggling with Scotland and typing away.

Thinking and pondering:::
How long is it going to take me to get my house in order...

On my bedside table:::
Break Out by Joel Osteen
Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayham, and other things that Happened by Allie Brosh
A water bottle and my tv and cable remotes

On my tv tonight:::
After typing this up, I realized that the amount of "reality tv" I'm watching right now is insane and ridiculous.  I can't help that I like the trashy stuff.  It's totally my guilty pleasure.

What I am creating:::
I haven't been working on anything but I really do need to finish my mood blanket that is almost done.

My simple pleasure:::
A clean house.  I know it may sound crazy, but I can't function with a mess around me.

Homemaking tips::: 
At this moment, I've got nothing...

Looking around the house:::
It's total chaos!  The big kids are all in the living room watching Adventure Time on their iPads, Scotland is asleep snuggled against my leg on the couch, clean socks are thrown on the floor (by one of the kids) in need of finding their mates and my couch pillows are all thrown on the floor.  Things that will all be taken care of once they crazy monsters go to bed.
  
From the camera:::
My handsome son with his teacher (whom I absolutely LOVE) at his first ever school music program.

Prayer List:::
My mother-in-law and her siblings as they prepare for the loss of their sister Bernie, and Bernie herself.  She's not doing well at all and is in hospice care.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. ~ Psalm 34:18

Ben is just sooooo cute, he has the sweetest smile :)

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...

Happy Homemaker Monday

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...
