Happy Homemaker Monday: August 28th edition

Happy Monday! Once again I am joining in with the lovely Sandra over at "Diary of a Stay at Home Mom" in her Happy Homemaker Monday meme.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Mine was busy. Saturday, Rebecca and I headed out to a baby shower for my cousin. I haven't seem some of the family members in years so it was good to go (even though I really didn't want to at first.). Then came home to get Rebecca's stuff and pick the boys up and head out to Rebecca's bff's house so Rebecca could have a sleep over there. Then we went out to dinner. Yesterday, we went to pick Rebecca up. Then it was home to work on laundry and watch the Indians. I was so tired yesterday. Then before I realized it, it is Monday morning once again. So time to get this week started.  

THE WEATHER:::
It has been absolutely beautiful here. Temperatures in the middle 70s with low humidity. I will definitely take it. I think we are supposed to get some storms this afternoon through tomorrow night though. We are definitely blessed with our weather right now. 

Speaking of weather, I cannot imagine what the folks in Southern Texas are dealing with in terms of the destruction from "Harvey." I cannot imagine....    

ON MY READING PILE:::
I am taking a break from review reading and I picked up "Any Dream Will Do" by Debbie Macomber at the library. It is her newest book.

LOOKING AROUND THE HOUSE:::

It doesn't look too bad. I need to sweep the downstairs and deep clean litter boxes. 

FROM THE CAMERA:::  My sister and I at the baby shower on Saturday. She has started her senior year in college and I am so proud of her. She came home for the weekend. She HATES being hugged...LOL 

WHAT I'M WEARING TODAY:::

purple tanktop, black workout capris, black flipflops

 

SIMPLE PLEASURE:::

Seeing different wildlife on my walks. This morning, I saw a huge hawk that had landed in a tree.
