Happy Homemaker Monday

I've been gone for a while, while the kids were home all summer and life has been going crazy. For the first time ever, all four of my babies are in school all day everyday. It's the most strange feeling!




The weather:::
Today is so humid. When I did the school run this morning it was only 75 degrees but sooooo humid I had sweat pouring off of me just from the walk from the car to the building and back. 

Monday - Partly Sunny, 94
Tuesday - Morning Thunderstorms, 96
Wednesday - Showers and Heavy Thunderstorms, 88
Thursday - Thunderstoms in Spots, 80
Friday - Thunderstorms in Spots, 83
Saturday - Possible Thunderstorms, 86
Sunday - Possible Thunderstorms, 89


On the breakfast plate this morning:::
This morning I had some left over grilled potatoes from this weekend. I fried them up on the stove. I also ate a few grapes and drank a sugar free redbull and orange juice.     

Right now I am:::
Sitting at my kitchen counter with my laptop and my day planner, trying to organize our new schedules.


On my bedside table:::
The tv remote, a glass of water, a couple of books, some hand lotion, a candle, a vase with fake flowers, and my retainers and my glasses.


On my reading pile:::
The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary and The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang


Movies or Shows I watched this weekend:::
I don't know that I've watched much of anything over the last week or so. Maybe the odd episode of Super Store. 

On my TV this week:::
I'm hoping to watch some of the vlogs I've been missing, the last season of Orange is the New Black, Jane the Virgin, and Four Weddings and a Funeral.


On the menu for this week:::

Monday
Not sure but Shawn's making dinner

Tuesday

On my to do list:::
Dishes

Cleaning out the water bottle cabinet in my kitchen
The bedroom closet
Clean the master bathroom shower with the new scrubber
Scottie, Rylie, and Sydney's ballet classes


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Nothing currently but I'm hoping to start back up soon. I have a blanket I've abandoned and I'm interested in doing block printing again, which I haven't done since I was a kid, but I loved it. Right now, I'm working on our family vacation video, photo albums and scrapbook.


Looking forward to:::
I'm not even sure. I'm so exhausted from back to school and the vacation to Disney World right before that. I just need a little down time, so that's what I'm looking forward to.          


Looking around the house:::
My house needs a little tidying but it's really not that bad. It's mostly just quiet and empty.


From the camera:::
My kiddos on their first day of school last Wednesday.




What I'm wearing today:::
I have on a pair of jean shorts and a floral short sleeved sweatery type top. I've also been wearing my adidas flip flops since it's so hot out.               


Thinking about:::
School breaks! I miss my babies already!


Bible verse, Devotional, prayers:::

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...
