Called into work early this morning making a hectic start to this week. Early phone call, barely gave myself enough time to get there. Had to stop at the grocery store on the way home so J had something for dinner before band practice (Thankful for the ubiquitous rotisserie chicken today!). Feed our stray cat, help me, I’ve named him! Water the garden. And now it’s after 9!
Still didn’t want to miss posting today. Linking up later with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom.
The Weather
HOT! Another round of heat advisory days for us. Car read 100 when I ran J to band practice. Phone said feel like temperature of 106. This current round is supposed to last until Thursday. Not sure what happens after that. Maybe rain?
How I’m Feeling Tonight
Bit of a headache, probably from lack of caffeine on my regular schedule or not enough water or not really eating dinner (chicken didn’t appeal to me as that was basically lunch at school today).
On The Breakfast Plate
Whew! That was much earlier today. Grabbed a flip yogurt and ate it at school very quickly before any kids arrived (I opened the classroom today). Not nearly enough coffee. Forgot to take my vitamins. Oops.
On My Reading Pile
Needed a “light” escape so last week I finished 2 books in a new Daisy James series set on the Greek Island of Corfu, really enjoyed Escape to the Hummingbird Hotel and Summer at the Hummingbird Hotel. I love how characters from her other books sometimes show up briefly in different series. And the setting was enchanting enough, I found myself planning a dream vacation to Corfu after reading the first two books in the series. If only….maybe though because our fortune cookies from Saturday’s dinner did hint at a trip.

On My TV
Still working through The Good Witch on Netflix. However, Saturday I stayed up way too late watching The Net. You know a movie from 1995?! Still pretty good, almost relevant still minus the floppy disk stuff.
On The Menu
Who wants to cook in heat advisory weather? Yeah, me either.
MONDAY: Rotisserie chicken, salad *I worked 7-3:30* *J had band practice 6-8:45*
TUESDAY: Turkey sausages, maybe on the grill or maybe just on the stovetop, chips, maybe fries *I work 11:30-3:45* *J has a baritone lesson at 6*
WEDNESDAY: Ribs, probably in the crock pot, yes has been on menu for a while, corn *J has some kind of friend hang out all day*
THURSDAY: Not sure. Maybe pork chops and potatoes? *J has a driver’s education class 8-12* *And band practice 6-8:45*
FRIDAY: OUT! Or chicken on the grill. Or OUT.
On My To Do List
- E-mail school about J’s schedule, it’s not correct
- Laundry! Thought I just did this but somehow it’s all back…
- Work on finding a home for Chip (our stray cat that I’ve um, named)
- Yuck stuff: car inspected, tags, driver’s license renewal documents
- Make a vet appt for our cat and get her some flea stuff as well
From The Camera
Who could resist this sweet little face? 
Apparently, everyone in this household except me. And her highness, the ruler of us all is certainly displeased with this development. 
Looking Around The House
It’s better to look around the front porch and gardens!
To Relax I will
Take care of my flowers, read

Chip is really cute! I have 2 cats and can say that 2 is better than 1 😉 We are dealing with the heat here too. 🙁 Hope you have a great week!

Thank you. Chip may be someone’s cat Webster. I hope so! Or I do have another lady who might be interested. My husband (and of course, our cat) is absolutely opposed so I do need to find him a home before the weather turns cold. Funny to think about in 95 degree heat. Hope you have a great week as well!
Sorry your week got off to a rocky start. Chip is ADORABLE!!!!! I wish we lived closer, I’d give him a home in a heartbeat 😀 I LOVE your flower and kitty photos. Lantanas are one of my all time favorites for borders. I hope you get some heat relief soon too. And have a GREAT rest of the week.

Thank you. I’d gladly give you Chip, he’s not getting along so well with Chelsea (our little grey cat) and chased her up a tree yesterday. SIGH. Hoping the gal from the neighborhood takes him (she was supposed to come and see yesterday but her kids got sick). The lantanas must like the heat, they’d stopped blooming but are going crazy now. Supposed to cool off tonight, I think. Happy Thursday! Have a great weekend!
