Happy Homemaker Monday

I unfortunately haven't participated in quite a while. I've been drowning here and haven't had time for any of my fun stuff, but am attempting to go back to everything I've loved.

happyhomemakermonday


The weather outside is::::
Rainy and cold today.  High is about 54 degrees and it's supposed to rain all day and tomorrow.

On the breakfast plate this morning::::
This morning, I treated myself to my chocolate and hazelnut Chobani flips and a bagel with cream cheese.

As I look outside my window:::
It is so dark out and rainy.

Right now I am::::
Sitting on the couch, taking it easy and watching last night's Call the Midwife.

As I look around the house::::
My kitchen is a complete mess, but the dishes are done, so that's a positive.  The couch is covered in clean clothing in need of folding and there is a heaping basket of dirty laundry that needs washing. Rylie is watching My Little Ponies in the playroom, whilst playing with her ponies. Scottie is snuggled up snug as a bug on the chair with her iPad and a blanket. Shawn is in the office, on a very important business call, so we must stay sort of quiet until he's done.

On today's to do list::::
Laundry....I have plenty of laundry to wash, dry, fold, and put away. 
Cleaning....In the kitchen, Unload the dishwasher and some picking up.   Set up the Braava or as Shawn calls it Brobot to do the sweeping and mopping.
In the living room....Vacuum.  Pick up toys.  
In the bedrooms....make beds and work on packing up the things we won't need for a bit.
In the bathrooms....Complete wipe downs in both
Dance.... Sydney has dance this evening

Currently reading::::
I have been trying to read Hollow City by Ransom Riggs but haven't been able to find much time.  Ben has decided to read Harry Potter so I've decided to read them as well, so we can do like a book club.

On the TV today::::
Right now, Call the Midwife.  Later, if I have time, Quantico, Sister Wives, and Shahs of Sunset.

On the menu this week::::
I haven't worked on that yet either. That's another thing I need to work on today, as I need to put in a grocery order for a tomorrow delivery.

Monday - Bangers and Mash with veggies
Tuesday - Honey mustard baked Chicken
Wednesday - 
Thursday - Frozen Pizza
Friday - 
Saturday - At a friends
Sunday - 

What I am creating at the moment::::
Nothing at the moment.  

New recipe I tried or want to try this week::::
No idea at the moment.  

Favorite photo from the camera::::
This photo is from my sister's camera, not mine, as I was unable to attend yesterday. I'm so proud of my baby brother who graduated from High School yesterday and will be leaving for Basic for the National Guard next month.  I hate him leaving but am so proud of him for making his dreams come true.

Seems to be a rainy Monday all around. We're getting the gloomy weather as well. Hope it clears off and the sun comes out for us both soon!

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

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...
