I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine wasn't too bad. Several items got cancelled for us as Rebecca came down with a fever on Saturday morning, so I was able to use the time at home to get caught up on laundry among other things. She still had a fever as of last night so no school today for her. Speaking of school, we are under yet another 2 hour delay today due to snow that we got yesterday. I HATE 2 hour delay days--- throws everything off. Oh well. All I can do is deal.
For now, I am taking a few moments to get on with the topics for "Happy Homemaker Monday" (hosted by the lovely Sandra over at "Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.")as I really do find that this allows me some resemblance of order and a plan for the week-- especially when it comes to menu planning. :) So let's get on with it....
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE:::
Right now it is drizzling outside. Temperature wise it isn't too bad out although it is cold enough that it is freezing drizzle. Looks like rain and temps in the 30s/40s this week.
AS I LOOK OUTSIDE MY KITCHEN WINDOW:::
Last week:
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE:::
(I thought it might be fun to take a picture every Monday looking out my kitchen window just to see what changes or similarities there are)
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE:::
This morning, I have had 2 mini chocolate donuts. They were the last 2 in the container. In a bit I will probably make myself some toast or an egg.
WHAT AM I WEARING?:::
Today I have on a purple sweatshirt hoodie, jeans, white fuzzy socks and black tennis shoes.
RIGHT NOW I AM:::
Sitting here typing this up at 7:30 in the morning. H watching "Paw Patrol". Baby A is napping. Bill is asleep after working overnight last night. Rebecca is sleeping. I hear the boys stirring upstairs as they have a delay today so I am just letting them get up on their own.
AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE:::
It looks okay. I tried to make sure that things were cleaned up before I went to bed last night. My desk area is a mess and I really need to work on it.

We must be due a super pleasant spring! Nice inspiration for the week :) Hope Rebecca is feeling better. So much sickness going around with everyone cooped up inside, I think. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI ADORE your inspiration - oh so true!! I love those pictures every week out your kitchen window - what a great idea. Have a GREAT week.
ReplyDeleteThere is certainly a change between the photos looking outside your kitchen window! Mine would resemble yours, that's for sure. Hope your week goes well!
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was following you, but I clicked over here and saw I wasn't!
