In an effort to keep up with this blog regularly I decided to team up with Sandra at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Mondays. I accidentally found her blog after doing a Google search for something having to do with stay-at-home moms. I instantly became hooked on her blog. She's so interesting and all of her entries are great. I hope you don't mind me teaming up with you and the others who do this. So here we go ...
Definitely feels like fall out there today. It was freezing at the bus stop this morning and it's been a very cloudy day. Somehow it's supposed to get hot again tomorrow. This rapid change of weather is crazy! No wonder everyone is getting colds lately.
Right now I am ...
Cooling down after an intense work out. After I laid Brianna down for her nap I did some cardio and strength training. She's napping, my son is in school and my hubby is at work so I'm enjoying some quiet time while I wait on the laundry to finish. I also did a little cleaning around the house but there's more to be done.
Thinking ...
Of what else I want to do to keep this blog interesting on a more regular basis. Any ideas shoot them my way. I'm also thinking of all the things I need to get done today and this week.
On my reading pile ...
My latest parenting and fitness magazines. I wanted to try a few work outs in the fitness magazine. As for books, nothing at the moment but I'd love to get to the library and start reading again.
On my TV ...
Nothing at the moment. When the television is on during the day it's usually a kid show like Yo Gabba Gabba or Spongebob. This evening I know Rob will be watching football. Go Redskins!
On the menu for this week ...
Oh my. What do I write? I usually don't plan the meals out in the beginning of the week but I've been wanting to do this for a long time. I usually decide on what I want to cook on that same day or the night before but I'd love to have everything prepared ahead of time. I'll have to get back to this later once I have it all figured out.
Monday - Polish kielbasa and pierogies
Tuesday -
Wednesday - I'd love to throw something in the crock pot. Will decide later.
Thursday -
Friday - homemade pizza (made by my hubby. It's always good).
Saturday -
Sunday -
On my to do list ...
The usual laundry, vacuuming, dishes, etc.
Need to buy more white socks for Matthew
Finish the yard work
In the craft basket ...
I'm not a very crafty person and crafting isn't something I do regularly but I'd like to do more with the kids or even something on my own to help me unwind. During our beach trip the kids collected some sea shells and I also put a pile of sand in a bag. I would love to get a shadow box and have the sand and shells on the bottom with a picture of the kids at the beach in the background. Yes, found the idea on Pinterest and it's such a cute idea.
Looking forward to this week ...
Matthew's baseball practices and a game on Saturday.
Shopping, even if it's just for socks. I love doing anything that gets me out of the house.
Maybe a trip to the amusement park this weekend if hubby is okay with that.
Looking around the house ...
And noticing a mess of toys that need to be picked up and organized. The kids have definitely taken over the house with all their stuff but I've gotten used to it. I keep reminding myself that there will come a time when they will both be adults on their own and this house will be empty. I need to enjoy the chaos while I have it.
From the camera ...
Rob and Matthew had their first game of the season last Saturday. It was against another league and I think all the kids did amazing (and so did my hubby the head coach). I'm so proud of my husband, son and all the boys on the team. They kicked butt!
Asking God to help me to be a better daughter to Him, wife to my husband and mother to my kids.
My family and friends.
My sister-in-law who is job searching
Bible verse/devotional ...
"The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?" -- Psalm 27:1
I don't miss the days of Yo Gabba Gabba...now that my boys are 6 and 8 we have graduated to Scoooby doo! hahaha I love your picture of baseball. Watching kids play ball is so fun and amusing!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that someone else admits that there is always more cleaning. Thank goodness we won't have dust in heaven!
Have a great day!
Glad to see you joining in Dawn, and I hope you continue to do so every Monday :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet words about my blog, I appreciate it!
I remember the days where my kids would hog the tv all day long with their shows, now that they are 14 and 10 they don't watch as much :)
Hope you have a great week ahead.
