Happy Labor Day Weekend! I decided to get back to blogging starting this month. And since I have today off, figured it was a good day to jump back into things. Can’t think of a better way to start back than with a Happy Homemaker Monday post.
Thank you to Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom for hosting these link ups. I have missed this little hobby of mine as well as keeping up with all the wonderful bloggers. I’ve been terrible at keeping up with everyone (in real life as well) so my goal for this fall is to be A LOT better about it.
Before I get on with the post, I should share I’m typing this from a brand new laptop and being a desktop kind of gal, this is new to me. Hopefully, I’ll just figure it out as I go.
The Weather
As a summer lover, I’m hereby declaring that this summer needs to end. NOW. We’re on day 10 million of heat advisory over here. Okay, maybe like day 6 or 7, been a long stretch of temps in the 90’s with feels likes over 100. It’s currently 83 outside with a feels like of 88 and that feels halfway decent.
It’s supposed to be 99 degrees tomorrow but then, we get a break the rest of the week with a bit of rain and temps mostly in the upper 80s. Counting down to the 84 degree that’s supposedly coming on Thursday.
As I Look Outside My Window
The hummingbird fights are on! We’ve had FOUR hummingbirds at our feeder lately but they don’t get along too well.
Right Now I Am
Sitting in the living room trying to get this post typed up before lunch.
Thinking And Pondering
How crazy the next couple of weeks are going to be at work with one of our regular teachers out, how the house is ever going to get clean, and a million other little things.
How I Am Feeling
I’ve been a bit crabby this weekend, probably a mix of the heat and not sleeping great
On The Breakfast Plate
Sausage and biscuits (not the gravy stuff) and a biscuit with huckleberry jam. Husband made homemade biscuits yesterday & I had the leftovers.
On The Lunch Plate
Husband is making us hamburgers
On The Dinner Plate
Great question
What I’m Wearing Today
Old Navy star tee shirt, jean shorts
On My Reading Pile
Just started reading It Could Have Been Her by Lisa Jewell. Good and suspenseful so far.
On My TV
Not much, I re-watched Avengers: Infinity War on Friday. I am excited for a new season of Best Medicine, a remake of Doc Martin, to start back
On The Menu
Crazy high heat does not make for good menu planning. Neither does needing to go to the store…
Today: Hamburgers for lunch, we might just do frozen pizza or something else light later
TUESDAY: Most likely tacos
WEDNESDAY: Maybe pasta, I need to make pesto as I have lots of basil going wild around the gardens
THURSDAY: ????
FRIDAY: ?????
On My To Do List
- Usual shopping errands: Grocery/Target/Dollar Tree
- Library
- Clean the house a bit
- Continue to figure out this laptop
- Get some extra meals in the freezer for busy days
What I Am Creating
Just went yesterday and got some seedlings for a fall garden: cabbage, lettuce, and need to plant some carrots (not sure I have time…need to check).
Something Fun To Share
A couple of 9 spotted forester moths visited my garden one day. These were new to me. Lots of fun to watch!
From The Camera
We went to Roaring River State Park for our anniversary a couple weeks back. Still very hot but it was peaceful.
