♥♥How I am feeling this morning♥♥
I’ve got a headache and my throat is a bit phlegmy this morning. I’m hoping that as I continue with my coffee that all breaks up and I can move on with my day.


♥♥On my mind♥♥
I’ve got a million things going on in my mind today. We’ve got a new fridge coming this week, the car salesman looking for a car for us (my car has been in and out of the shop and we’re thinking with the low interest and dealerships being desperate, right now might be a good time to buy), week 2 for the girls’ school is starting today, week 3 of school for Ben starts today. Scottie’s birthday is on Thursday and I’m trying to keep it as fun and normal as I can even though we can’t go anywhere and have anyone over. We need groceries, but I’m trying to hold off on a grocery trip until the new fridge gets here. We’re moving our old fridge into the garage so we can hopefully actually keep enough food on hand for 2 weeks.               


♥♥On the breakfast plate♥♥

It’s 10:00 and I still haven’t eaten. I’ve only been drinking my coffee. I think I may grab and yogurt and some granola really quickly so I can take my morning meds and vitamins.

♥♥On my reading pile♥♥
Last night I finished The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver. I’m reading Will I Ever Pee Alone Again by Emma Conway (which is more and more relevant by the day) and I’m listening to The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel on Audible. I’m thinking about starting The Guest List by Lucy Foley today. I’ve been enjoying the light romantic books but maybe I need a can’t put it down Thriller.

♥♥From the camera♥♥
 Cleo decided to dig up my green onions on Saturday so Shawn built a nice table for me to put my smaller pots of herbs.    

♥♥Looking around the house♥♥
My house is total chaos right now, but who’s house isn’t? I’m sitting at the counter, Scottie is finishing up her school at the table. Ben, Sydney and Rylie are all done with school for the day so I have them cleaning their rooms and then they’ll be moving on to the living rooms. I have full laundry hampers calling my name and I need to move my plants back outside as the herbs are all on the floor behind me in the kitchen. I’ve got my box for Easter decorations sitting on the counter so I can put them all away today. Lots and lots of little messes.

♥♥Chore I'm not looking forward to today, or this week♥♥
I need to scrub the kitchen floor. With everyone living in my kitchen it’s hard to find time to actually clean it well, and between the cats, the dog, the plants, arts and crafts, and the 3 meals a day and snacks 7 days a week, it’s a complete mess.

♥♥To relax this week, I will♥♥
Same thing as every week. Watching TV and movies with the kiddos. We’re loving LEGO Masters and Masked Singer. Reading, crocheting, yoga with Shawn, gardening, reading about gardening, etc.    

♥♥On my prayer list♥♥
Everyone right now could use some prayers. I’m praying for those affected by the virus and people who are struggling with their mental health whether it be depression or anxiety from being trapped at home, for fear of the virus (like myself) and struggling to deal with being parent/spouse/teacher/employer/everything.
