Well, instead of wordless Wednesday, it’s going to be a Wednesday full of words around here. I’m finally getting to my Happy Homemaker Monday post!
I made it one of the items on my 23 for 2023 list to join in with every Happy Homemaker Monday hosted by Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom. So, a Wednesday posting it shall be. Plus, these posts really do help me get my weeks organized, even if it’s mid-week.
The Weather
It’s nice out but I feel like we could be warmer! It’s currently 52 and sunny outside. Chilly enough in the mornings for jacket but warm enough to go without by the afternoons. I didn’t wear a jacket at all yesterday though I did wear an elbow length sleeved shirt. Slight chance of rain tomorrow into Friday but otherwise, highs in the 60’s and lows in the upper 40’s. Next week looks warmer. I’m glad as I really want to move my hibiscus and monstera outside to their summer locations.
As I Look Outside My Window
I need to fill the bird feeders. And put out the hummingbird feeder! I’ve not seen any yet but want to be ready.
Right Now
Trying to focus on this post and wondering if I should go check on the cat. I left her outside a little bit ago when she came with me to take out the trash.
Thinking And Pondering
The stuff I need/want to do and get done in the next few days. My thoughts are little jumbled this morning so I’m hoping this post can help me sort things out a bit.
How I Am Feeling
Tired and a little overwhelmed. Not feeling bad though.
On The Breakfast Plate
Coffee, more coffee in the form of a caramel macchiato from Starbucks, toast with strawberry jam
On The Lunch Plate
No idea, maybe leftover pizza. Or a sandwich. Or nothing.
On The Dinner Plate
Giving G his choice when he comes back from class. Either: pepper steak (chicken for him) and rice or ham steaks, corn on the cob, and fresh pineapple.
What I’m Wearing
Marching band tee shirt from G’s senior year of high school, jeggings, and leopard print slip on shoes.
On My Reading Pile
A stack of April magazines (a first/last glance through and then, recycle bin). Trying to read The Paris Diversion by Chris Pavone but struggling to get into it.
On My TV This Week
It’s Masked Singer and Ted Lasso night! Dr. Who (just one episode), Barry, The Big Door Prize are all things I’m watching by myself. Oh, and The Spring Baking Championship. My husband and I together are watching: Top Chef, season 20 plus Last Chance Kitchen as well as Wayward Pines. We also watch the first two shows mentioned together.
On The Menu This Week
This week starting off so busy kind of threw my menu planning off a bit.
MONDAY: We had Backyard Burger (fast food restaurant) *I worked 7-4* *J had a lesson at 6:30*
TUESDAY: Papa John’s Pizza (husband ordered this while I was at work but I was glad not to worry with dinner) *I worked 7-4*
WEDNESDAY: Pepper steak/chicken and rice OR ham steaks and corn/pineapple
THURSDAY: Pepper steak/chicken and rice OR ham steaks and corn/pineapple
FRIDAY: I was just looking at this goulash recipe here. Or I might make spicy potato soup. Or ???
Looking Around The House
It’s bad. I should be picking it up and cleaning instead of writing this post.
On My To Do List
- Grocery store *DONE*
- Probably some laundry
- Clean the house
- Check that I paid all the bills
- Take J driving
- Look into getting some new spring/summer clothes
- Outside chores: mow the lawn, add some flowers, work on the garden
- Other stuff I’ll remember later
From The Camera
On the phone camera, a couple more shots of the kites at the kite festival. 
Real camera: more flowers, of course. 
On My Prayer List
Friends, family, strangers. My boss and her family as her husband passed away from cancer over the weekend. Peace and kindness to overtake the world.
Quote For The Week
Not a quote exactly but this song has been in my head ever since driving by those kites on Sunday:
*****************
My you have a big to-do list. try to relax somewhere in there. Listened to the youtube music, now it’ll play in my head all day, hahaha
Have a great rest of the week
Don’t worry, I’m very good at ignoring my to do list, LOL! Hope you have a wonderful Thursday and rest of your weekend!
Better late than never is a real thing! Good for you following through despite the busy week. As always I’m LOVING your flower pictures. The past few days have been glorious here and it’s supposed to last through Saturday before we dip back down into cooler weather 🙁 Have a GREAT rest of the week.
Thank you! Oh no, more cooler weather! We’re getting a bit of (much needed) rain tonight, so happy it stayed dry for the preschool day though. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
