I’m really keeping this one brief and doing the wordless Wednesday thing here. Well, except for these few words. Tomorrow or Friday, I’ll do a post on what I’ve decided to try regarding wellness.
Back to Work Today
Thought I’d try to get back into the Blog365 a bit. (Still sharing random pictures from the weekend trip)
Today, I had to go back to work. The weekend was nice. We got back on Sunday but I’m so glad I took yesterday off as well. Had no idea how badly I needed just a day at home to regroup and have no obligations. Well, outside of taking J to his lesson but I don’t mind that at all.
At Work
I had to sub in the kitchen today. Ugh. Except it wasn’t too bad today. Made more sunbutter and jelly sandwiches than you want to know. Then, they asked me to step into a classroom for the rest of the afternoon. That was nice to get to be out around the kids a bit. Back in the kitchen again tomorrow.
Another easy kitchen day, I have to make hot dogs (lots of ’em) and slice apples but that’s it. I’ll still be wishing I was out with the kids though. 
At Home
Came home tonight and made a decently accepted dinner of potato, onion, pepper, and sausage hash. Tomorrow, someone else can be in charge of dinner. Then, checked on the gardens….tomorrow will be a watering day.
Rest of My Week
The second half of the week is still busy. I’m excited that I finally made myself an eye appointment to get some new glasses. That happens Thursday morning. So overdue on so many things that I need to do for myself. Then, J has an afternoon appointment, and I have a tiny amount of work. More work on Friday but thankfully, in the classroom. 
Not much else going on around here….just looking for some more lazy summer days. Not sure I’m going to find any until the weekend. 
Happy Homemaker Monday, It’s June
My June started with a quick little girlfriend weekend getaway to the Ozark mountain area in southern Missouri. Lampe, Missouri to be exact. So, I’ll be sprinkling pictures from our trip throughout this post.
This morning was spent trying to catch up on all the things before yet another somewhat busy work week.
Still, I wanted to make sure to take time today and join in for Happy Homemaker Monday hosted by Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom.
The Weather
Summer is “officially” right around the corner. It’s hot and humid. Today is a poor air quality day (we get those sometimes) with an expected high of 88, small chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. I still watered everything. Rest of the week is supposed to have highs in the upper 80’s as well.
As I Look Outside My Window
(This is the only picture from here. I was releasing a lost ladybug back into the garden and stumbled on the crow family. I think these are the younger ones) 
Right Now
I’m finishing up the laundry, working on this post, have a few too many tabs open on the computer, and am trying to figure out how to talk my husband into ordering a hotel mattress for our bed. (The current one is bothering us both).
Thinking And Pondering
I wasn’t able to keep up with some friends (not everyone went) on a hiking trail and it made me so mad (not at them, at myself for being so out of shape). The trail was very steep but still.
My weight has gotten very out of hand the past few years. Stress eater + lots o’ stress = not good news. Started with a nutrition shake this morning from 310 Nutrition. Probably share more about what I’m planning to do anyway in a different post. Especially as I’m still trying to figure things out with it all.
How I Am Feeling
Honestly? Fat and out of shape. Tired and grumpy. And like I need a few more vacations very soon.
On The Breakfast Plate
A 310 Nutrition shake made with the vanilla flavor, cup of coffee, banana, ice, and tablespoon of cocoa. It’s a recipe. Calls for the caramel flavor really but vanilla worked fine.
On The Lunch Plate
Great question, maybe another shake? Not really hungry.
On The Dinner Plate
Taco salads is the plan for tonight
What I’m Wearing
S.T.A.R. labs t-shirt, very old jean shorts, and leopard print slip on shoes.
On My Reading Pile
I was struggling with The End of the World is Just the Beginning so I put it down for a bit. Picked up Pines: Wayward Pines: 1 by Blake Crouch, barely started it.
On My TV
Finished both Barry (mixed feelings) and Ted Lasso (no comment on whether I cried throughout a lot of the last episode) last week. Probably just my Doctor Who episode and some cooking shows this week. Oh and I almost forgot, I sat and watched Scott Pilgrim vs the World with G last night. I’d never seen it, so funny! (It’s the kind of super stupid comedy I love).
On My Menu This Week
It worked out well having the boys each take a night to cook last week so I’m doing that again this week.
MONDAY: taco salads *J has a baritone lesson at 6:30*
TUESDAY: Sausage, pepper, potato, and onion hash *I work 8-3*
WEDNESDAY: G is in charge of bacon wrapped chicken *I work 8-3*
THURSDAY: J’s choice. I still need to get with him about what he wants to make *J has an appt at 1* *I work 3-4:30, as a favor for a teacher*
FRIDAY: biscuit BLT’s (BLT’s on biscuits with lettuce from the garden) *I work 8-4:30*
Looking Around The House
It was surprisingly tidy when I got home yesterday. However, I still need to do the basic cleaning.
On My To Do List
Sometimes I feel like this could be its own post.
- Laundry *In progress*
- Grocery store *DONE*
- Water flowers/garden *DONE*
- Clean hummingbird feeder/replace food *DONE*
- Sort/Pay bills if needed *DONE*
- Make eye appointment for new glasses
- Clean house
- Research deals for upcoming family vacation
- Need to pot some plants
- Whatever I’m forgetting
From The Camera
Pictures from Dogwood Canyon in Lampe, MO. It’s a park created by Johnny Morris (the founder of Bass Pro Shops). We took a tram ride as well as walked the grounds and some of the trails, very beautiful place.
I think this is a dickcissel (spotted at the George Washington Carver national monument in Diamond, MO) 
Quote For The Week
The finite mind of man can never grasp the mysteries of the infinite. It is the highest wisdom as it is our great happiness to accept our limitations to use what we have and leave the rest to God. (George Washington Carver)
Few Words For Wednesday
Not sure I can master wordless so we’ll call this one Few Words Wednesday instead.
My view out the front door at about 5:45 a.m. Not even ten minutes later, a gentle downpour from the sky.
Today, I’m off to work another long day. Ended up working 9:30 to 6:30 yesterday and arrived a bit early at that. Today, I don’t plan on being there one minute prior to 9:30. So much I could say about my current work and the ongoing changes at the preschool. Suffice it to say I had lots of aggravations yesterday.
Perhaps I’ll share all my thoughts, so many, in a post on a different day. Hopefully, today will be better.
Four Things From May
Thought I’d try a new link up as a way to get back to posting more than once a week again. Really want to get back to the Blog365 idea despite my little unplanned hiatus.
Stacy over at A Homemaker’s Heart mentioned joining in this link up over at Overflowing With Thankfulness and it looked so fun. I decided to play along as well!
The idea is to share 4 somethings that you loved, learned, read, and ate in the month. So, here I go!
Loved
That J decided to walk at his graduation ceremony. There’s something so special about watching your child graduate high school. The high school did it completely different than they used to back in the pre-pandemic days of 2019 (when G graduated) but it was okay.
If you’ve read the blog for any amount of time, you know it was a rocky road (and not the good ice cream kind) to get there. I am just so proud of him for sticking with it through a pandemic, constant school policy changes, and mental health issues (anxiety and depression).
Bonus item for this category: I also loved and am still loving that he wants to get his driver’s license. It almost feels as if we’re starting to make up for a bit of lost time.
Learned
I’m sure I learned something during the month of May. Hmmm…..
That things work out the way they are meant to in the end.
Ran into a friend in the grocery store having what seemed like similar issues with her daughter who’s a year behind J. And was able to share some information with her. Information that I had to search out continuously during the past 3 1/2 years. Felt nice to be able to help if only by sharing a tiny bit of hard to find information.
Read
My favorite read of the month was definitely one of my most recent ones. I enjoyed the Tom Felton biography, Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard so much.
Really, I liked it a lot better than Spare. Maybe because it felt more down to Earth and I related to it better than reading about royalty. And the ending is quite a bit more positive than the ending of Spare.
Ate
Lots of good things from an amazing strawberry shortcake at a Mom’s Night Out gathering to ice cream cake for J’s graduation to chocolate cake for G’s birthday. And lots of ice cream. Too much ice cream. Is there such a thing? No. Not such a thing as too much bread either. That’s probably the most memorable thing I ate.
A parent brought in a wonderful loaf of round bread and butter for the teachers one day last week. Said their family had been at the lake during Teacher Appreciation Week. Oh, the bread was so good. I thought she got it from Panera or somewhere but later found out she made it! It was that kind of bread that’s hard and crusty on the outside and then has those pillowy holes in the texture on the inside. I was happy to be subbing in the classroom when she brought that in for us all.
Her 3rd kiddo graduated pre-k this year. Such a nice family, sorry we won’t see them at the school any more.
***************
This fun link up can be found right here. I think the link is open through the end of the month if you want to join in the fun.
Happy Homemaker Monday, Memorial Day
Still not sure how I got so far away from posting every day to hardly posting. Wait, yes, I do know. Life got busy! And it’s not going to slow down much this week either. However, today is a holiday Monday so I have time to post this morning.
Joining in with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom as always.
The Weather
Well, I watered all my flower and the garden this morning and now it looks like it might rain. Pretty sure it wasn’t in the forecast. It’s currently 79 degrees and switching between sun and clouds. (Sprinkled just a bit as I was coming home from the store but by the time I arrived, sun was shining and it felt hot). Looks like there’s around a 50% chance of rain all week starting tomorrow with highs in the mid to upper 80’s.
As I Look Outside My Window 
Over the weekend, I chased a catbird around with the camera (very shy, hard to capture on camera!). And this morning, I spotted a bluebird! First time I’ve ever seen one in my own backyard. Too slow with the camera. Not sure if I’ll see one again. Keep checking with no luck.
Right Now
I’ve just returned from the grocery store and sat down to continue writing this post. I did put most the groceries away first.
Thinking And Pondering
Still thinking about the catbirds (there were 2!) as well as the bluebird that I saw this morning. 
How whenever I feel a little lost or down, I almost always spot a different bird. And how I believe they are signs. 
On the morning of J’s graduation, I spotted a brown thrasher, only one I’ve seen this year, and it happened to have been my mom’s favorite bird. Hummingbirds were my late mother-in-law’s favorites and very recently, J saw one just hovering right outside our front windows almost like it was looking inside (nowhere near our feeders). 
And I have a feeling my late father might have sent the bluebird since they are a symbol for happiness and hope.
How I Am Feeling
A tiny bit overwhelmed. Who me? Put off all my have-to’s until the very last day of the weekend? Not me! SIGH.
On The Breakfast Plate
J and I had McDonald’s. We’ve been talking about getting it forever and finally both remembered on the same day. I had 2 breakfast burritos and a coffee.
On The Lunch Plate
Not sure yet. Probably some leftover chicken from yesterday.
On The Dinner Plate
Ribs (found some already cooked in freezer), hot dogs, cucumber salad, maybe corn on the cob, fruit
What I’m Wearing Today
Navy blue t shirt, jean shorts, and leopard print slip on shoes
On My Reading Pile
Finished The Outsider by Stephen King over the weekend. Looks like they made a series for it on HBO or Max (whatever they call it now). Pretty good book but a little scary, not sure I’ll watch the series, might though. Now I’ve started The End of the World is Just the Beginning by Peter Zeihan. Barely into the book but interesting non-fiction so far.
On My TV This Week
Need to finish watching The Dungeons and Dragons movie, it’s on Paramount + and wasn’t bad but I started it too late and fell asleep. Barry, Dr. Who, the last episode of Ted Lasso. Started watching Locke and Key, binging my way through that one.
On The Menu
Are you even surprised to hear it’s another busy week for me? And a busy week for my husband as well. Putting 2 young adults in charge of a few dinners. And we have a freezer full of frozen pizza for any dinner emergencies.
MONDAY: ribs (from freezer, already cooked) and hot dogs, cucumber salad
TUESDAY: French Toast (G is in charge of this meal) *I work 9:30-6*
WEDNESDAY: Poutine (J wanted to try this….I’m still a little iffy about it) *I work 9:30-6*
THURSDAY: Roast in the slow cooker *I work 9:30-6*
FRIDAY: Husband’s choice (I’m out of town for a girlfriend weekend getaway)
Looking Around The House 
The helium balloons from J’s graduation last Saturday are still going strong! And I have a lot of cleaning to do today. Want to get it in some sort of order before this crazy busy week.
On My To Do List
(For the week)
- Water garden/outdoor flowers *DONE*
- Grocery store *DONE*
- Pay Bills due at end of month
- Laundry
- Still need to order graduation announcements *DONE*
- Bake quiches to take on trip (I’m in charge of breakfasts)
- Pack for trip/decide what I’m wearing to work this week
- Mow the lawn
- Clean the entire house
- Get gas for the car (waiting to see if it goes down a bit after holiday)
From The Camera
Walking around yesterday, I took notice of things in the yard on the verge of blooming…
Quote For The Week
Seems appropriate to share this poem today:
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
–John McCrae (1872–1918)
*******************
Happy Homemaker Thursday…
Well, it’s a bit late for planning the week I suppose. Has it really only been since last Tuesday since I posted last? Still wanted to hop on here and at least keep up with my joining in with every Happy Homemaker Monday. It’s a Thursday but I’m determined to keep my streak going on this at least.
Over the past week/weekend it’s been busy with mostly all good things. We went to our son’s high school graduation! And had a birthday celebration! In the middle of all that, I had lots of work days and J asking to go driving.
It seems to me this is the first day in ages where I don’t need to leave the house for any reason unless I choose to do so.
Looks like I can still add a very late link up to Sandra’s Happy Homemaker Monday post over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom so I’ll do that once I finish up this post. Let’s go ahead and go through the categories.
The Weather 
Other than a few chilly mornings, it’s been pretty seasonable. We had a pop up thunderstorm last night which brought us some much needed rain. The weekend is supposed to be beautiful with warm sunny days and highs in the 80’s. I’m looking forward to finally getting the rest of my garden plants in the ground.
As I Look Outside My Window
It was a little cloudy out earlier but now the sun is shining and the birds are happy that I finally filled their feeders again. Oh, and out front, the peonies I moved from the backyard 2 years ago, I think, bloomed! 
Right Now
I’m taking a moment to break from cleaning up the house and working on this post instead.
Thinking And Pondering 
How relieved and happy I am that J graduated and is moving on to the next stages. Scared to even really write it/think it but life finally seems to be cycling back to the pre-pandemic normal. Starting to be happy that my husband suggested I take a year to just continue subbing before jumping into working full-time. Getting excited about maybe spending time getting the house in order before the next thing.
How I Am Feeling
Tired and ready for the long weekend to hopefully, relax a bit.
On The Breakfast Plate
Toast on sourdough bread and sausage (husband cooked sausage to have with Eggo chocolate chip waffles but I needed savory). Vitamins and coffee
On The Lunch Plate
Not sure yet. Probably just forage through the fridge for something.
On The Dinner Plate
Probably going to keep it simple and just make tacos
What I Am Wearing Today
Missouri State T-shirt, black skort, and leopard print shoes.
On My Reading Pile
I just finished one of the best memoirs I’ve read in a long time: Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard by Tom Felton. Definitely my favorite of all the memoirs I’ve read recently. Well-written and enjoyable. It’s like sitting at the table with him and just listening to stories of his childhood, acting roles in different movies (the biggest, of course, the Harry Potter franchise), and his struggles later with mental health. I don’t think you need to be a Harry Potter fan to find enjoyment and value within his story.
On My TV This Week
We watched Ted Lasso last night and I noticed next week is the season finale? Already! Sigh. Started watching Summer Baking Championship, we need to catch up with Top Chef, and then, I’ll watch Doctor Who and also, Barry at some point.
On The Menu This Week
Easy to plan the menu when it’s already Thursday! Here’s what we ate this week, let’s see if I can even remember…
MONDAY: Husband cooked ribeye steaks (I had no idea he was doing this and had bought a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store) *I worked 7:30-4* *J had a baritone lesson at 6:30*
TUESDAY: Culvers for G’s birthday followed by homemade chocolate cake with white frosting (His birthday was actually on Sunday but we postponed his celebration, his idea as he had another party to attend, until Tuesday) *I worked 8:15-3:45*
WEDNESDAY: Clean out the fridge night, J had leftover steak, I ate spinach dip and chips plus some salami from an appetizer tray, husband used the rotisserie chicken to make BBQ sandwiches. G went out with friends. *I worked 7-3:30, 3:45 really*
THURSDAY: tacos
FRIDAY: Homemade pizza using the rest of the pepperoni from the appetizer tray
Looking Around The House 
The helium graduation balloons are still going strong. I have some more graduation decorations to take down. I’m slowly putting it back in order.
On My To Do List
Not that much as my list was much crazier last week.
- Pay Bills *DONE*
- Make reservations for family vacation next month
- laundry *Always in progress*
- Plant okra/sunflower seeds (over the weekend, a bit late with this)
- Relax!
(I’ll also probably be taking J driving, hopefully doing a bit of decluttering, and cleaning-inside and outside)
From The Camera
Breaking my no personal pictures rule again (shhh! don’t tell). Here’s my high school graduate and his now 22 year old brother!

Happy Homemaker Tuesday, Still Here
I’m still here, either running to work or elsewhere or staring blankly into space.
Mother’s Day was nice, we all went to see the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie, then got take out from Culver’s. And I made cupcakes later in the day, rose cupcakes from the Spring baking championship though I skipped the swiss meringue buttercream and just used a jar of frosting. (My skills aren’t at the swiss meringue level) Almost everyone liked them (G wasn’t a fan).
It’s just a busy time both at home and work right now. J’s graduation is this weekend as is G’s birthday the following day. And then next week, 3 full work days to start it out. In between all that: I’m working on making sure J gets lots of driving practice, meeting friends to plan a weekend trip for next month (honestly, I’d pass on it if I hadn’t already paid my share), and trying to keep the house at a tolerable level of mess.
Hoping to get around today and tomorrow to check on everyone, didn’t quite make it last week. However, I am going to get on with this Happy Homemaker Tuesday post today. Linking it up in a bit with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom.
The Weather
We’ve had 2 days of rain and it’s cool enough out for the windows to be open. Actually, it was pretty chilly earlier today. Back to sun and the upper 70’s/low 80’s for the rest of the week.
As I Look Outside My Window
This was sometime last week but if you look near the dandelion, you can see the blue bird, not a bluebird but an indigo bunting. 
Right Now
Laundry, this post, watching the time as I told J I’d take him out driving around 3:30
Thinking and Pondering
Not sure, honestly, I’ve been in a bit of a grumpy mood the past couple of days. Just feeling pulled in too many directions, I think.
How I’m Feeling
See above. Tired and a bit stressed. Needing some quiet alone time.
On The Breakfast Plate
Cinnamon “toast” croissant (I used a croissant to make cinnamon toast), coffee
On The Lunch Plate
Husband’s been home today so he grilled hot dogs, not my first choice. Also had chips and a sparkling rose cupcake.
On The Dinner Plate
Korean BBQ meatballs/rice
What I’m Wearing Today
Still need to shower but am currently wearing a Star Labs t-shirt (from The Flash), elephant pants, and leopard print slip on shoes. Fashionista over here. Ha! UPDATE: I am now wearing a light blue short-sleeved sweater (yes, in May!) with jeans and tennis shoes.
On My Reading Pile
Finished one called All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham. A long wait for it but personally, I didn’t think it lived up to the hype. I’ve started something lighter now, Summer at the Cornish Beach Cafe by Donna Ashcroft.
On My TV This Week
Cooking shows, Barry, Dr. Who, Ted Lasso, not sure what else.
On My Menu
MONDAY: I made chicken chili but did something wrong, wasn’t very good *I worked 8:30-11:30* *J had a baritone lesson at 6:30* *I had MNO, mainly for trip planning purposes*
TUESDAY: Korean Meatballs/rice *I have Bunco*
WEDNESDAY: Maybe chicken parmesan *might have an activity, not sure yet*
THURSDAY: ????
FRIDAY: ????? *I work 8:30-?2* *J has graduation practice*
SATURDAY: J’s graduation
SUNDAY: G’s birthday
Looking Around The House
Well, to quote myself from this morning: How can this bathroom be more disgusting than one used by 40 preschool kids? UGH. Maybe let’s not look around the house right now.
On My To Do List
- Grocery store *DONE*
- Target
- Laundry
- Take J driving
- Figure out how Saturday is going to work regarding tickets/family/etc
- Party Store (thought I’d decorate house a bit)
- CLEAN the house
- Pay Bills
- Plant second row of beans/other things in garden
- ????Things I’m forgetting
From The Camera
Really haven’t picked up camera very much, not even sure when I took the pictures in my post, sometime last week I guess. 
Quote For The Week
(Source: Pinterest)
Happy Homemaker Tuesday
Sometimes the days just get away from us, I think. My weekend was so busy and when I wasn’t busy, I was tired. Worked on Friday, so tired that night. May plus full moon plus preschool graduation on the horizon…whew, crazy kiddos.
Saturday, sadly, I had to attend the visitation and funeral for my boss’s husband. We all knew him as he was often doing things around the school, a family of very strong faith especially him. The funeral was very emotional and moving. 
Then, I caught up with an old high school friend who was holding a sale at her mom’s home (her mom moved to assisted living). Finally, Saturday night was our night out with friends. We celebrated seis de Mayo instead of cinco.
And I’m not even sure what I did on Sunday. Probably yard work and I know I took J driving for a bit. And in between all that, I was trying to track down family and sort out tickets for J’s upcoming graduation. 
Yesterday, ended up being a longer work day than I was originally scheduled. However, today I was supposed to work but things changed and now I’m at home today unless I get called in for someone else. Tonight is preschool graduation so I’ll be going to that later.
So now that I’ve finished my not so short preamble of where I was all weekend, let’s look forward to this week. Joining in as always with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom.
The Weather
It’s already been hot. And dry. We’re already in mild drought conditions. Thankfully, there’s a good chance of rain late tonight into tomorrow and again on Thursday, I think. Today is supposed to be in the mid 80’s. I don’t mind it but yesterday was already close to 90 so it makes you wonder about the rest of the summer a bit.
As I Look Outside My Window
The sunlight is streaming in this basement window and I think there’s a slight breeze as I see the shadows of my plants move (the window has a privacy liner on it).
Right Now
Taking a minute to put together this post.
Thinking And Pondering 
I never seem to have time for the extra little projects I want to do around the house because I feel as though I’m constantly doing the basic chores on repeat. Just me? Thinking I’m going to start just picking one mini extra project a week and maybe try to tackle that. Of course, my mind and a lot of my time is simply outside at this time of year working on getting the porch set up and then, of course, enjoying it.
How I Am Feeling
Not too bad, a little tired, might need a bit more coffee here in a minute. Extremely sick of oak tree pollen. It’s everywhere. Ugh. 
On The Breakfast Plate
Cinnamon raisin bagel, coffee, and vitamins
On The Lunch Plate
No idea. There’s leftover spaghetti from Sunday, leftover taco stuff from yesterday, and sandwich stuff.
On The Dinner Plate
Not sure. Husband is working late, I need to be at preschool graduation by 6, and the boys ate chicken out for lunch yesterday which was my original plan for today.
What I’m Wearing Today
Currently a tee shirt from our vacation a few years back to Duluth, Minnesota, navy linen shorts, and leopard slip on shoes (they’ve become my wear around the house/yard shoes). Later, I’ll switch into something nicer for preschool graduation, probably blue capri pants and blue shirt with some sparkly stuff in the material.
On My Reading Pile
Last week I read Spare by Prince Harry. A bit odd to be reading it at the time of the King’s coronation. I have lots of thoughts on it, my main one being if that’s what it’s like to be a member of a royal family, I’m happy to be a mere peasant. I might need to write a proper review for it. Now, I’ve moved on and have just started the 3rd book in the Bill Hodges trilogy by Stephen King called End of Watch.
On My TV This Week
I need to finish up Spring Baking Championship and my one episode of Dr. Who. Then, just the usual: Masked Singer, Ted Lasso, and on Friday night, The Last Thing He Told Me. Plus, Top Chef and Last Chance Kitchen. And finally, we started season 2 of Wayward Pines. Still weird, maybe even weirder this season. I put the first book on hold at the library.
On The Menu This Week 
I made it on Monday morning before work and already, it’s a bit off but this was the plan:
MONDAY: taco salads *I worked 11-5*
TUESDAY: chicken nuggets and sweet potato fries *I have preschool graduation at 6*
WEDNESDAY: grilled pork chops, asparagus, salad maybe *I have a hair appt at 9*
THURSDAY: stir fry of some sort *I work 8:15-3:45*
FRIDAY: Pizza *J has a graduation party at 6*
Looking Around The House
I should focus on it today but we’ll see how far I get with things or I run outside to work on planting things like these begonias.
On My To Do List
- Grocery store *DONE*
- Bit of laundry
- Haircut on Wednesday
- Work on front porch flowers/plants
- I need to find a dress for J’s graduation as well as some new summer clothes, mainly for work.
- Clean the house
- Get gas for the car
- Mow the yard.
- Take J driving
- Make graduation announcements for J
From The Camera
The human subject is not obeying orders and I am annoyed.
Quotes For The Week
Yes, two for this week. Both really spoke to me especially since things were a bit chaotic over the weekend. Both are from Courtney over at Be More With Less, complete article here.
******************
Busy Season
Just a quick note that I haven’t fallen off the face of the Earth. I have, however, fallen into a rather busy season for a bit. Work in the garden. Work at the preschool. Life obligations, both joyous and sad. Trying to get everything sorted for J’s upcoming graduation. Have I mentioned G’s birthday is the very next day? Trying to figure that out as well.
My plan is to post a proper Happy Homemaker Monday tomorrow and add a few placeholders to the missing days from this past weekend. And of course, do some blog visiting. I’ve been reading but usually on my phone, hard to comment from my phone.
Then, maybe I’ll even get busy and schedule some posts on my free days this week. And get myself back into the Blog 365 habit.
