CHIEFS!!!!!
You knew I had to do that, right? And it was a good game as well.
Okay, now it’s time to quickly join in with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up. I’ve only got about 35 minutes before I need to leave for work so this is going to be a quick one. (Let me apologize in advance for the lack of pictures in this post.)
The Weather
Nice today, highs in the upper 50’s. WooHoo, preschool kids get to go OUTSIDE. Rain all day tomorrow. High 40’s for Chiefs Victory parade day and then, I think it turns a bit cooler for the rest of the week.
As I Look Outside My Window
Blue skies and sunshine, going to be a beautiful day.
Right Now
This post, then work, followed by J’s baritone lesson. Grocery store afterward.
Thinking And Pondering
J’s still struggling a bit with getting to school and I’m at the point where I’m just done. I know that sounds awful but I’m so tired of not knowing every morning what’s going to happen. And it just seems like every time I get my hopes up that things are going better, we have a slip. Can I please cut in line to have my breakdown now?
On My Bedside Table
Just the lamp and a phone charger but you don’t want to see my dresser!
On My TV
Chiefs coverage mostly. Earlier yesterday, I did watch the first episode of You. I’m hooked.
Listening To
I started the dishwasher before running down here so I can hear it running upstairs.
On The Lunch Plate
No idea what’s for lunch at work but I’m taking a PBJ with me today.
On The Dinner Plate
I need to go to the store and I work until 5. They’re going to have to fend for themselves. Honestly, I’m thinking about getting an “87” concrete (special ice cream flavor from a local place) and calling it dinner
On The Menu This Week
This category is such a mess after we’ve been eating out so much and all having different things.
MONDAY: On Their Own *I work 8:30-5* *J has a baritone lesson at 6:30*
TUESDAY: Maybe roast in the crockpot? *I work 8:30-4:15* OH, I just remembered it’s Valentine’s Day. Maybe OUT. Chocolate pie for dessert. I don’t know.
WEDNESDAY: Roast in the crockpot? *I might work 8:30-5 depending on whether or not school closes for the Chiefs parade, I imagine I’ll be working*
THURSDAY: A day to breathe! Maybe pepper steak that I keep putting on the menu and then, not making.
FRIDAY: No school for J (officially)…maybe spicy potato soup and homemade bread?
All of the above is subject to change and probably will change.
On My Reading Pile
Between books again. Probably going to share about a couple I read in a different post. Yesterday I finished up All Good People Here by Ashley Flowers. It was ok, not the best. Of course, in fairness, the two books I read prior were excellent so it made the mediocracy a bit more apparent.
On My To Do List
- Work
- Figure out Valentine’s Day
- Grocery Store
- Probably other stuff
Plans This Week
Work, Valentine’s Day, Watch the Chiefs parade if I’m home, maybe relax at some point?
Simple Pleasure
Hanging out with friends
Looking Around The House
Looks like we had a Super Bowl party here instead of going to one.
From The Camera
Hoping I do better with this category next week. Here’s a phone pic I snapped this morning of my holiday cactus. Looks like more blooms in the future! 
On My Prayer List
Friends, family, strangers. The people of Turkey and Syria.
Thought For The Week
I’m not even going to apologize for this one 😉
*****************
day 43/365
Go Chiefs! I am glad that they won. Sorry you’re still struggling with your son and school. He graduates in a few months, right? Hang in there. I hope you have a good week!
Thank you! Yes, he’ll be done with high school in May one way or another. I think he’ll do so much better once we can get out of that school and away from all the bureaucracy of it. Hope you’ve had a great week! So glad we made it to Friday.
Congratulations!!!! I was thinking of you when I saw they had won!!! Prayers for you and your son. That is a stressful situation. I know firsthand. Have a great week and enjoy the celebrating!
Thank you! We’re just trying to hang in there until May but we’ll see what happens next week (we have to meet with the school counselor about graduation and the like). I spent most my week at my favorite place (the preschool so I did have a nice week outside of the stressful start :)) Happy Weekend and a long one as well!
I thought of you all day Sunday – what a GREAT game! No real turnovers, but a lot of back and forth with super effort in the second half to pull off that win! Unfortunately for me I was watching the game at an EAGLES party 😀 Rooting for the Chiefs was not well received 😀 But, now that the party is over I can start to get back into a good routine. Good thing I had so many BLOG 365 posts ready to go. Between the Valentines dance and super bowl party planning and shopping, I didn’t know if I was coming or going the last couple weeks.
Praying for you and J – the struggle with boys is so especially is so hard. They do pull through (eventually) but not without wearing you down first. I know with E he just “woke” up one day and it was all great from there, but getting there was a STRUGGLE.
My cactus is blooming again too – then again it really is still winter here (28 degrees as I write this). Have a wonderful week my friend. I will get caught up on your BLOG 365’s this week.
Ha, a couple of our friends were cheering for the Eagles (we were giving them trouble over that for sure ;)) I should get some posts ready to go for these busier weeks as well. Thank you for the prayers and your words of encouragement. I do think he’ll be fine down the road but the here and now is certainly tough on us all. I think once we get away from the local school system things will really improve. As I told my husband, it’s sad because he’s doing so much better but his best isn’t really good enough (at this point) for them. We had winter yesterday and today but spring for the weekend. It’s like spinning a wheel of weather around here, LOL. Hope you have a GREAT weekend!
Hello Dearest! Yay on the win!! Congrats my Jean – I was so excited for you!!
I love the team strawberries – so cute and clever.
I’m so sorry about school and J and all of it. I don’t blame you just being done with it all. Prayers for peace, strength, direction and for future success and happiness. 🙏
Beautiful cactus pic! I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week Sweetie. xoxo
Thank you! Everyone seemed to like the strawberries. Always nice to have a “semi” healthy fruit/veggie option around all the heavier fare. It’s actually been a pretty good (but tiring) week around here. Hope you have a great weekend!
