Thought it might be fun to do a Happy Homemaker Monday post on a Friday. Instead of a planning post, more of a what was planned vs what actually happened kind of post. So basically a week in review post with the Happy Homemaker Monday categories.
The Weather
The beginning of the week was beautiful, a bit above normal in the high 40’s and then, we hit the 60’s. Today, cold and snowy.
As I Look Outside My Window
Didn’t have much time to look out my window on Monday. I was called into open at work (meaning I had to be there by 7:00a.m.). Now, I see snow and I think the cat sees a bird. 
Right Now
I worked every day this week. And I forgot my coat at work yesterday. So, after running into work to grab it early this morning, I’m finally sitting down to write a proper post.
Thinking and Pondering
Too many thoughts and too few words to express them.
How I am Feeling
Well, after working mostly for sick teachers all week…I’m still managing to be 85% healthy. Okay, maybe closer to 80%. Lots of vitamins in my morning routine this week. And early bedtimes mostly.
On the Breakfast Plate
Monday was some sort of flip yogurt, coffee, and vitamins. Today, I took the time to make lemon poppyseed muffins (from a box mix). Vitamins and coffee.
On the Lunch Plate
Maybe my leftover Chinese food from Valentine’s Day. Not sure.
On The Dinner Plate
Leaning towards pulling the minestrone I made a few weeks ago out of the freezer for dinner tonight. Or maybe some other form of pasta.
On The Menu
This is what a week with no menu plan looks like at our house:
MONDAY: leftovers from the super bowl…we took a big salad to our party so we had rotisserie chicken and salad. *I worked 7:00-3:30*
TUESDAY: Plan was for pancakes but I worked and then, went pretty much straight to the movie theater as I had plans with a friend. (We saw Wonka, I really enjoyed it!) I don’t even remember what the husband ended up doing…I think he thawed taco soup maybe? *I worked 7:00-3:45*
WEDNESDAY: We ordered in Chinese food for Valentine’s Day *I worked 7:00-3:40ish*
THURSDAY: They all ate leftover Chinese food for dinner. I ate a yogurt as I wasn’t super hungry. *I worked 8:15-6:10* (stayed a little later than planned to cover a different teacher)
FRIDAY: Pasta of some sort….*glad to have a day at home finally*
What I Am Wearing Today
Monday, I wore a Chiefs shirt, of course. Today, I’m wearing a pink work hoodie and blue leggings, tennis shoes.
On My Reading Pile
A December to Remember by Jenny Bayliss. Waited a long time for it, a nice perfect fun and lighter read so far.
On My TV This Week
Well, had this been on Monday, I’d obviously been saying how ’bout those Chiefs!!!! We had so much fun watching the game with friends (a couple of them were obnoxiously cheering on San Francisco, so lots of good natured ribbing during the game). Not really any time for much tv on Mon/Tues though I did manage to watch The Floor. On Wednesday, I finally had to just turn the news off and had G watch part of Dune with me. He’s agreed to go see part 2 in the theaters. Last night, I sort of dozed through Next Level Chef. Not sure what if anything I’ll watch this weekend.
Looking Around the House
Looks like I’ve not been here much though we did manage to keep the laundry and kitchen areas somewhat on track.
On My To Do List
Mostly I went to work this week. Other things from my list:
- Grocery store
- Go see Wonka movie with friend (we’d planned on doing this over Christmas break but then, life happened…)
- Get Valentine’s for husband and kids *did NOT happen, it’s okay everyone was happy with their “million dollar Chinese food*
- Laundry *Husband helped with this A LOT, good enough Valentine for me*
- Sort out some issues with J’s college finances *In progress*
From The Camera
Probably goes without saying, didn’t really pick my camera up this week. All pictures in post are from my phone. 
On My Prayer List
This city, this country, the world. SIGH
A Funny And Weekend Plans
Since I’d like to end this post on a lighter note, I thought I’d share a “warning” if you pick up candy from another country out of the discount cart at the grocery. Turn it over and see what is actually in it. I bought Italian candy labeled Caramelle Dure thinking oh, caramels! I like caramel. Um, no I’ve discovered Italian cough drops. They were menthol and eucalyptus candies. Yikes! Not caramel. Timely for having a slight sore throat, however.
No real weekend plans here. Anyone else have big weekend plans?
Hello my Lovely!
So fun to read this on a Friday.
I hope you keep powering through and stay mostly healthy! These last winter months always seem the worst with colds and germs. ugh!
Loved your adorable Chiefs cookies!! So cute. I cheered hard too, and I’m so glad it paid off with your team – minus the horrible parade incident. I’m with you in those prayers DAILY about our world and especially this country. Geesh 🙁
I hope you like the Wonka movie – I loved it!
Blessings on your weekend ahead. xo
And here it is almost Friday again, another crazy busy week over here. Loved the Wonka movie 🙂 Hope you are getting ready to have a great weekend!
How are you? Hope all is wel
I’m okay, thank you for asking! Had a busier than expected work week followed by a week of being sick. Trying to get caught up on everything.
Just popping in to see how things have been going for you. So happy the Chiefs made you proud! And even happier you’re feeling better. Have a GREAT week.
Thank you! Think I finally am able to get back to blogging a bit this week 🙂
