Today is the only day I’m home all day and not working this week. A pretty busy schedule for me the rest of the week. Hopefully, I’ll do better about popping on here and visiting. Sorry I missed visiting a few of you last week! Sometimes the weeks just get away from me. 
However, look, I’m actually posting on time (sort of, it’s afternoon now) this week! Joining in with Sandra from Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom to plan my week.
The Weather 
It’s definitely spring weather with temperatures all over the place. I’m hoping for a solid week of warm temps soon. However, this week is warm to start and then chilly to end. Kind of the same as last week. Decent chances of rain tomorrow and Wednesday as well. That’s okay because we all know that April showers bring those wonderful May flowers (and green grass on the ground and leaves on the trees!)
As I Look Out My Window
Today’s a warm one with pretty blue skies and not too much wind. Started chilly out there but did warm up quickly. These little fellows won’t be hanging out with us too much longer.
Right Now
Taking a few minutes to work on this post and trying to ignore a long list of things I *should* be doing.
Thinking and Pondering
Too much. Ants, a vacation, J’s issues, what to do with the yard, life in general.
Homemaking Tips
We were having a horrible time with one of bathroom drains stinking and nothing was working, the baking soda, hot water, etc. I found these things called Sanisticks at our local Bed, Bath, and Beyond and they solved the problem! (The link is Amazon but they are much cheaper in stores). Hmm, the reviews show they don’t work for everyone but they worked great for us.
How I Am Feeling This Morning (Afternoon) 
Tired. Been a bit of a bumpy Monday morning.
On The Breakfast Plate
Strawberry and cream instant oatmeal, coffee. Just a note: I tried the protein added instant oatmeal packets and found it disgusting!
On My Reading Pile
Just working my way through a David Baldacci series, currently reading The Target (Will Robie, #3)
On My TV
My husband and I watched an awful Liam Neeson movie on Netflix Friday night, A Walk Among the Tombstones. I’d have rather just watched Taken again. Masked Singer, a bit of American Idol. A couple other movies: Shrek Forever After. Much better than the 3rd one. And finally, G and I watched a pretty funny movie called The Bubble, a movie about making a movie during the pandemic.
On The Menu
Struggling with the planning this week as I feel like I went through all our standby meals last week.
MONDAY: ham steaks, corn bread, and broccoli *J has a baritone lesson at 6:30*
TUESDAY: BLT salads with turkey (from freezer) *I work 10-4:30* *J has an appt at 3*
WEDNESDAY: Hamburgers and French Fries (husband is cooking, he just doesn’t know it) *I work 10-4:30*
THURSDAY: Mozzarella Chicken with Tomato Sauce and Mushrooms (trying new recipe) *I work 10-4:30*
FRIDAY: French Toast, Fish, OUT? *I work 7:45-4:15*
From The Camera 
Looking Around The House
I did that and had to clean up a bit before starting this post! It’s better but still needs attention.
On My To Do List
Really, just get through the week but I’m hoping I can cross a few other things off the list
- Grocery store (DONE)
- Clean up house a bit (In progress)
- Laundry (Also, in progress)
- Serious clean up of main bathroom (the ants found us, UGH)
- Fix bricks by flower garden at end of the driveway
- Forgot to call trash company about yard waste last week, still need to do it
- Take pictures with camera
- Gather stuff for junk drop off put on by city this weekend (check prices again)
On My Prayer List 
Friends, Family, Strangers. Someone who unexpectedly lost her new kitten last week. The country, the world.
Hello, my friend. Thanks for the info on that oatmeal. I literally almost put it in my cart, but was unsure! I hope you have a good week. Your photos are lovely! And thanks for the recipe! Sounds delicious!
Thank you. I thought the protein added had both an odd flavor and texture, it just wasn’t “normal” Of course, now I have to figure out what to do with all the leftover packets. Maybe I can sneak them in some cookies and hope the extra sweet masks the taste. Hoping the recipe turns out. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Hello my Lovely!
I love seeing all the flower pics – Spring is coming! We have some snow in the forecast AGAIN! But I know it won’t last or be long now. I forgot about the masked singer and will need to catch up on that!
I’m continuing to pray for our world too. And prayers sent for your dear J too. 🙏
Those cinnamon rolls look SO amazing – but probably all of my WW points for the day in one roll. Sigh. 😉
Blessings on the rest of your week. xo
We’ve had some snow flurries as well. Nothing serious though we’re under a hard freeze warning for tonight. Have to move all my plants inside. Thank you for the prayers. Hope you’ve had a wonderful week and are set for an amazing weekend!
I’m loving all your pictures this week – so pretty and spring like! Our temps are all over the place too – supposed to freeze tonight, be 81 Thursday and snow Sunday 😀 I was going to watch that Liam Neeson movie – thanks for saving me. I hope you get your list accomplished and have a GREAT week.
In fairness, I did miss the first 15 minutes of so of the movie but I don’t think it would’ve made that big of a difference. My husband had started from the beginning and he never even bothered with the last 15 minutes of it! Hope you’ve had a great week. Happy Weekend!
Uggg ants! still frozen here. A Liam Neeson movie not good? really? oh well
Have a great week
Yes, ugg on the ants. Whatever kind they were, they were tenacious. However, I think we’ve finally got them retreating (hopefully!). I was surprised that I didn’t like the movie, I usually do enjoy Liam Neeson movies. Hope you are getting ready for a great weekend!
Lovely photos, especially the cinnamon rolls, they look very tasty. Cx
Thank you! My youngest and I enjoyed the cinnamon rolls but my husband wasn’t a big fan. More for us, I guess. Ha! Hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend.
