Two weeks in a row with the Sunday night version of Happy Homemaker Monday! Okay, maybe I can do this after all. Note: it’s late-ish so hopefully you’ll forgive any glaring grammar errors.
Tomorrow, I’ll link up with all the other lovely bloggers who join in with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom.
Am I counting down my summer work days now? Perhaps. Let’s see what’s in store for the week ahead.
The Weather 
We had a random quick rainshower this afternoon but none of the overnight storms we were supposed to get. Mostly, just typical summer weather here. Hot and somewhat dry. Highs in the upper 80’s. Chances here and there of thunderstorms (Tuesday has the biggest percent chance).
Right Now
Working on this post…
Something Fun to Share
One of my lesson plans for this week (probably Friday) is making butter with the preschool kids. I had to test it today. It worked!
Basically, you buy heavy whipping cream, put it in a glass jar (actually, I think any jar should work) and shake! First, you get whipped cream. And then, butter. Took approximately 19 minutes of shaking to get the butter. And we happened to be having waffles for dinner tonight so…
Thinking and Pondering
Just typical Sunday night anxiety pondering the week ahead, how the kids are going to be after 4 days off (eek), what to wear, etc…
How I am Feeling
I’ve been kind of tired all weekend, probably because I stayed up way past my bedtime on Thursday watching Netflix.
On The Menu
Craving a lighter menu this week. We’ll see…
MONDAY: Pasta with chicken sausages, tomatoes and zucchini
TUESDAY: Salsa Verde chicken and rice skillet
WEDNESDAY: Homemade Subway (maybe the real thing, who knows…)
THURSDAY: Husband’s choice as I have plans
FRIDAY: Clean out the fridge? Not sure…
On My Reading Pile
Just finished two kind of depressing books (hopeful outcomes but heavy reads, I guess): The Road by Cormac McCarthy and The Comeback by Ella Berman. The Ella Berman book was not what I expected the story to be but it was a very good, couldn’t really put it down kind of book.
On My TV This Week
Stayed up so late Thursday night watching Ginny and Georgia on Netflix. Finished season 3 on Friday. Husband and I watched the finale of Duster, really good show on Max, hope they give it a season 2. And of course, I watched Independence Day but not until Saturday so broke with my Fourth of July tradition a tiny bit.
Looking Around the House
Did I say at work on Wednesday that I was going to clean it during the 4 day break? Yes, I did. Did I clean the house? No, I did not. Well, not enough anyway.
On My To Do List
- Work
- Go to grocery store. When? Maybe tomorrow
- Return library book, pick up one last book on hold
- Go out with friends on Thursday
- Pay bills
- Other things as they come up that I am forgetting right now

A bee on my surprise sunflower!
Quote for the Week
(Found on Pinterest) 
I never tried the series Ginny and Georgia, but maybe I should!
I liked it. It’s kind of like a darker Gilmore Girls.
I LOVE that quote for the week and your flower pictures are great! LOVE the bee one in particular. Ironic we broke with tradition this year and didn’t see Independence day on the 4th either because we have been so busy. I’ll be back later today to play catch up with you. 🙂
Thank you! Sorry for the super late reply, work’s been a bit stressful the past week & I managed to get a summer cold (we teach the kids to share but they aren’t supposed to share their germs, UGH). Hope you are having a great week!
