Happy Homemaker Monday

 

The snow has not melted one iota.  In fact, there is a 6 foot pile of snow where we need to get into the garage to work on the brakes.  It's not happening any day soon, so I'll be focusing on what needs done inside this week.

In fact, I haven't made a plan to tonight's dinner.  My husband and I were so tired, we were in bed early last night.  I'll need to work on that early this morning.  He may be stuck at work tonight.  Turn around is approaching and that means lots of overtime and many hours of work.  He'll need a breakfast and lunch and extra food for late hours.  I best get on the meal plan.

Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

I'll link up later.

Mostly in the 20's, possibly more snow this week.

Sorry for the bad photo, but you can see how cute the first round of the border is on the baby blanket.  I have 2 more rounds to go.

Looking around the house . . .

What a hot mess.  We spent all weekend going back and forth to the hospital, and back home to take care of animals.  We didn't get the chance to clean anything up, or even do any house chores.  

To-do list . . .
-Clean out fridge, take trash out
-do dishes
-pay any bills
-figure out dinner

Prayers . . .

Mom.  She is still in the hospital.

This and That

It's still cold here, and we got more snow.  My husband I spent most of the day at the hospital visiting Mom.  They allow two people in the building, but one at a time at her bedside.  They will do more testing with her today.  Her memory is still hit and miss, and she's feeling exhausted.

When I first went into Mom's room, she asked where she was and why.  She said she didn't know how to use her TV, so I helped her with that, showed her the button to turn it off and on, and so forth.  She said she loves to watch the cooking channels, so I found one for her.  I think it got her hungry, because she ordered herself a good lunch before we left.  She hasn't been eating much lately.

We couldn't stay at the hospital the entire full day, as we had animal duty back home.  Daughter K is still out of town, so we had dogs to take out, a cat and rabbit to feed etc.  We fed and watered the chickens before we left the house.

I have collected a few recipes I would like to try, but just haven't had the time to pick up ingredients.  I would love to try them this coming week, but I still have to rely on shopping on the weekends, or ask the other two to pick it up for me  (still down one vehicle).

Today's post comes with zero photos again.  Hopefully, I can snap a few for you.  I know photos make the posts more fun.
