I'm joining Diary of a Stay at Home Mom today. It's Happy Homemaker Monday!
The weather. . .
is cool, but not too cold, and there is no snow on the ground. There is no visible sunrise this morning either. Just cloud cover, and the look of winter out there (minus the snow).
On my bedside table. . .
an empty water cup, a framed photo of Hubby and I
On my reading pile . . .
I'm about a 1/3 of the way through this book.
On my TV. . .
Last night, when Hubby and I wanted to turn in very early and watch TV, and just relax, it was all reruns. Every movie we tried to watch, we realized we already watched it. Ha! We have debated on dropping our cable. That is still up in the air. I have to check on prices for an antennae today. If I remember.
On the menu this week. . .
-pizza casserole
-apricot pork tenderloin
-stuffed bell peppers
...that's my start of the week anyway. And lots of veggie sides and after school snacks.
On my to-do list. . .
1.exercise
2.animal chores, let goats out, water them, collect eggs
3.dog walks - 3 times before the kids get home
4.play secretary again (have to print off and write letters etc.)
5.paint cupboard doors and possibly the cupboard too
6.call around for lower car insurance
7.call to check on rates if we drop our cable
8.dinner prep
9.breakfast prep for the on-the-go folks in this house
10.floors - vaccuum, sweep
11. looks like I need to make a complete dusting round again
12. fetch firewood, kindling
13. empty ashes
14. start back at a complete cleaning of the master bath
15. write, submit a few articles for possible publishing
16. drive to town and drop off a few "samples" of my handiwork for possible consignment selling
17. laundry
18. dump egg shells on garden
19. make tea infusion
....the list is never ending, but today I feel a bit overwhelmed.
I am still cracking walnuts, and have about 1/4 of the box of popcorn to deal with yet. I think we'll get about 3 quarts of popcorn, but we've already started to enjoy it too. I also have fruit in the freezer that needs to be thawed and made into jam. As you can see, I don't run out of work.
What I am sewing, knitting, crocheting or creating. . .
I finished this last night, but need to sew in my ends.
Looking forward to. . .
...2pm. That's my cut off time to get "5 minutes to myself" before the kids come home and chatter on.
Looking around the house. . .
...I see small cupboard doors I have off the wall and ready to paint. I'm painting a cupboard that is in a small room in the house.
From the camera. . .
I finished this hand towel last Friday, and have plans to make one more and even possibly washcloths.
Wearing today. . .
work out clothes, shoes and a fitbit
One of my simple pleasures. . .
...a winter crock pot night. I steal away to my room about 4pm, before dinner, and crochet, knit, write (just relax) for an hour. Or even organize something that I have been do desperately wanting to do. I know my time for this activity will end as soon as spring hits, so I'm enjoying it for now.

I hung out clothes today and then it clouded up and there was rain on the radar so they were mostly dry except for one thick sweatshirt but I got them all in and then the sun came out and narry a drop of rain fell all afternoon! But if I had left them out there it would have poured, I'm sure! LOL! When I went to the store they had gardening plants out and herbs....I was so tempted! LOL! Enjoy your evening.
Hope you have a great week!
