Just now getting to my post as today ended up a bit busy. Work, supposed to end at 3:45 but asked to stay until 5. Then, off to J’s baritone lesson. Followed by a 30 minute driving lesson. Finally, I have a few minutes to put up this post.
Things this week just keep changing to a bit busier than anticipated. So, let’s get to planning the week with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom.
The Weather
Spring is in the air! And so are warmer temperatures. And *clears throat, sneezes a bit* so is tree pollen, especially the blooms from those stinky pear trees. Exciting news was that we got a bit of rain today! Rest of the week is supposed to be clear and our highs are predicted to be in the 80’s with sunshine.
As I Look Outside My Window
Dark now, wasn’t home earlier. However, the preschool kids spotted a caterpillar as they looked outside one of the preschool doors. Very observant!
Right Now
Working on this post.
Thinking And Pondering 
Quite a bit. Stuff I need to do. Some sad news from yesterday. A possible job opportunity at my work.
On My Bedside Table
Lamp, old and new phones, charger cable.
On My TV Tonight
Husband is watching The Handmaid’s Tale, not my thing so I’m down here working on my blog. Probably glance at the news later. Over the weekend, we watched the complete season of Night Agent on Netflix. It was pretty good.
Listening To
The dryer. Hooray for husbands who help with laundry!
On The Lunch Plate
Macaroni and cheese at work
On The Dinner Plate
A second hurrah for husbands who help with dinner. I wouldn’t have done it but he deep fried some frozen chicken nuggets and made rolls. (No vegetable in sight is the trade-off here)
On My Menu This Week
No idea. Might be a lot of husband’s choice/lack of vegetables this week.
MONDAY: chicken nuggets and rolls *I worked 8-5* *J had a baritone lesson at 6:30*
TUESDAY: No idea, husband’s choice. Easter leftovers? *I work 8-3:30 and then, have a CPR class at 5:30*
WEDNESDAY: Spaghetti?
THURSDAY: Pepper steak and rice or husband’s choice *Mom’s Night Out*
FRIDAY: Turkey sausages on the the grill maybe? With pasta salad? *I work 8-4:30*
On My Reading Pile
Just started one called The Accident by Chris Pavone.
On My To Do List
This is likely to be a week where not much on the to do list happens so keeping it short.
- Go to store at some point
- Pay a couple bills
- Take J out driving as much as possible
- Talk to husband about job opportunity at my work
- Plant some garden things
Plans This Week
Work, Go to the CPR Class, Visit with friends at Mom’s Night Out, Put away Easter things, Try to not eat all the leftover Easter candy in one sitting
What I Am Creating 
Impossible way over budget both in terms of space and finances garden plans and ideas?
Simple Pleasure
Leaving the house without needing a coat!
Looking Around The House
It’s not awful.
From The Camera
I did pick it up a bit last week. 
On My Prayer List
My sister in law who battled throat cancer during 2021 and was cleared. They’ve discovered small spots in her throat and one in her lungs. Prayers they are able to deal with them quickly and she’ll be clear again. For family, friends, and strangers.
Quote For The Week
Well-suited quote for my garden plans:
Gardeners, I think, dream bigger dreams than emperors. (Mary Cantwell)

Day 98/365
Your garden is lovely! If you’re over budget, I have some dahlia tubers I’d love to send you!
Thank you! Wow, that’s so kind of you. I may take you up on that but I might need info on how to grow those as I also have that space problem 🙂
Prayers for all your intentions, my friend. For your sister-in-law especially. Your photos are beautiful as always, and I hear you on the pollen! We wait all winter for spring, and as happy as we are for it to arrive, it brings the dang allergies with it! Have a cozy evening!
Thank you. I’m lucky I don’t get very hard with the allergies and we had some rain/wind that means the stinky white trees are quickly losing their flowers. Hope you’ve had a great week so far.
Sending positive thoughts to your sil. Isn,t it lovely to go out without a coat?
Have a great week
Thank you. Yes, I love to go without a coat. Of course, after two days in the 80’s, tonight it’s around 40 degrees and feels so cold again! Hope you had a wonderful week and are enjoying a great weekend!
Lovely photos, praying for your sister-in-law. I love that your husband helps cook and with laundry, anything really. I’ve been listening to The Organised Mum Podcasts on Spotify, they are so good. ‘She’ is the organised Mum, eg she invented it, the rest is for anyone to join in eg not just Mums. Take care, Cathy x
Thank you. Yes, sometimes it’s hard when he’s not doing it MY way or quite graciously enough but I do appreciate the help. I’ll have to look for that podcast although I’m not great at listening to podcast, my mind tends to wander. I do so much better with reading blog posts which a lot of people in the organised genre among others tend to no longer do.
I am SOOOOOOOO sorry to be late! Still wintery here with a roof leak to boot in the BRAND NEW roof and the roofer is NOT returning my calls! I LOVE your flowers and am so excited for you that spring has sprung. 😀 I can’t wait to be able to go outside with layers and jackets!
Prayers for your SIL with a quick and speedy recovery and clearance.
I’m so sorry to hear about the leaky roof, that’s no good. Hope the roofer returns your call very soon. There is something so uplifting about going outside and seeing green and flowers again. Thank you for the prayers. Hope you have a wonderful week!
