Happy Homemaker Monday

Bit late today for no good reason. I probably would’ve waited until tomorrow but now I’m working on Tuesday. Maybe I’ll get a full week vacation next week. It’s my new plan.

Current plan is to write this Happy Homemaker Monday post and then, link it over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom.

The Weather

HOT. I knew we weren’t done with summer quite yet. Heat advisory today, storms tomorrow, not sure about the rest of the week.

Right Now

Had to pause to let the cat back outside. Heat advisory weather is her favorite, we can hardly get her in here. Ice cubes in her water dish and she’s happy out there.

Thinking and Pondering

Need to send an email out to my work that I won’t be working Friday or all of next week. As much as I love the kids,  I *need* some time off…

How I am Feeling

Would you believe I’m still trying to shake whatever I had 2 weeks ago. I feel better but the sinus stuff just wants to linger. UGH. I do feel 110 times better than last week, hoping taking an extra day to just rest (sort of) today helped.

On the Breakfast Plate

Yogurt and a sausage patty, vitamins, black elderberry syrup, coffee, and water

On the Lunch Plate

Junk, didn’t really eat lunch

On The Dinner Plate

Hamburgers on the grill, French Fries, watermelon

On The Menu

There’s a great question!

MONDAY: grilled hamburgers, French fries, watermelon

TUESDAY: Shrimp in air fryer (heat n eat), corn on the cob, mini cucumbers (Might make it into cucumber salad if I feel ambitious later)

WEDNESDAY: Spicy Korean Chicken

THURSDAY: It’s our wedding anniversary! Nothing exciting for 26 years but I am hoping I don’t have to cook dinner. Of course, my husband said he thinks he’s getting my cold stuff so yay. SIGH.

FRIDAY: Maybe waffles? I don’t know….

What I Am Wearing Today

Flowered tee-shirt, olive green shorts, and currently my leopard print shoes

On My Reading Pile

I’ve been reading The Night Agent by Matthew Quirk. I watched the Netflix series some time last year, maybe, but didn’t know it was a book. Book is pretty good, series really followed it.

On My TV This Week

Over the weekend, I discovered Ginny and Georgia on Netflix. And…I’ve already finished it. Think a gritty and very dark spin on Gilmore Girls. I loved it! Um, probably wouldn’t want to watch it with younger friends, I’d say older teenagers and above…definitely some mature scenes and topics.

Looking Around the House

Well, I did clean the main bathroom today but it’s still not ready for a photo shoot. Here is a picture of our new living room rug instead.

 

We had to replace the old one because the edges kept curling, tripping hazard.

On My To Do List

What’s that saying about so much to do so I’ll just take a nap instead. That’s how I feel.

  1. Grocery store *DONE*
  2. Target run *DONE*
  3. Laundry *Uh Oh*
  4. So much cleaning…funny thing is I was out of cleaning supplies. If you run out of cleaning supplies, wouldn’t you think it would mean your house is super clean? Turns out it doesn’t.
  5. Mow the lawn
  6. Measure flower pots for plants that need replanted/make list of plants that need to come inside
  7. Figure out message the blog hosting people sent me, something to do with memory, hoping I fixed things
  8. Pick up my camera!

From The Camera

(phone camera still). Pictures of paintings. A teacher I used to work with does paint nights close to us and I usually try and go. I really liked the ocean pour painting one.

The one last Friday was a sunset, not as fond of it but I’ll share it here as well.

Quote for the Week

An oldie but a favorite:

Be curious not judgemental. (Walt Whitman)

    1. I’m having a hard time getting back into the blogging rhythm over here, apologies for such a late response! After a very low-key anniversary (my sick hubby did get me the nicest card!), I think we are all finally healthy over here. The ocean painting was my favorite. Hope your week is off to a great start!
