Happy Homemaker Monday - 6/2/14

Is it June already?  I can't believe it!  My son has two more weeks of school and then it's summer vacation.  He would have been done this week but because of all the snow we had this winter he needs to make it up.  I have a busy summer planned so I'm not so sure how often I'll be able to blog and do these HHM. 

Hosted by Diary of A Stay At Home Mom

As I look outside my window:
Beautiful, clear and sunny skies.  It's in the 80's with warm air and sunshine.  I love it! 

Right now I am:
Just laid my daughter down for a nap so I'm taking a few minutes to relax while watching 7th Heaven and typing this up.

Thinking and pondering:
About my mom.  She had a stroke a few years ago and the clot that caused the stroke was 50% clogged at the time.  Now tests show that it's 80% clogged.  We thought she was doing better but it doesn't look so great.  In a few weeks she goes to the doctor to talk about a procedure that may need done, which is life threatening.  This isn't good.  I'm not ready to lose my mother.  I know I'll never be ready but she's still so young. 

On my bedside table:
My Bible

On my tv this week:
America's Got Talent, the season finale of 19 Kids and Counting, The Little Couple and Breaking Amish. 

Listening to:
Birds chirping outside.  Sounds like there are so many of them.

Monday - Parmesan Chicken with a side of rice and veggies

Mow lawn/ yard work

My simple pleasure:

Looking around the house:
What a mess!  Toys, toys, toys!  Everywhere!

Bible verse/devotional:

"So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
