Happy Homemaker Monday August 10, 2015

It's time for Happy Homemaker Monday!  

First of all, I'd like to say happy birthday to Sandra!!!  How nice that it falls on a Happy Homemaker Monday :) 

The weather outside is:::: Right now it is in the low 70s.  Michigan has been having a pretty mild summer!  I love it myself :)  We are going to get some thunderstorms this afternoon!  I just love thunderstorms.  They pair perfectly with a cup of tea, a cute kitty and a book!  

On the breakfast plate this morning:::: I haven't had any breakfast yet.  If I am not at work, I am terrible about having breakfast at a decent time!  I will probably have an egg on a whole grain English muffin.  


As I look outside my window::: I can see the neighbors' flowers in hues of pink.  The man across the street always spend a lot of time on his yard and it is perfect.  Mine never even compares! 

Right now I am:::: Blissfully enjoying a Monday at home!!!  My bosses are on vacation so I am taking a long weekend.  


As I look around the house:::: I have a lot to get done today.  I see my kitty cleaning himself, some clutter and a floor that needs to be vacuumed!

1. Vacuum living and dining room
2. Wash dishes
3. Two loads laundry
4. Give the kitchen a good scrub

Currently reading::::  I haven't been reading a lot in the past month.  I go in spurts, it's weird.  I'm reading Stephen King's "Heart's In Atlantis" 

On the TV today:::: Last night I finished binge-watching the American version of "Being Human".  Really liked it.  Not sure what I am on to next.  Any suggestions?  

On the menu this week:::: We have a lot of family things going on this week!  My mom's birthday, my sister's, and my dad is driving from Michigan to Las Vegas!  He does this about every 2 years.  He loves the drive itself (I am the same).  He always gets homesick about 5 days in!  lol

Prayers, Inspirational Quotes or Devotionals::::

This is for a woman I know from my old church.  She is a light unto Him.  She is a mom to three girls, a lovely woman of God, a good wife, active in the church community and all-around beautiful woman.  She is in the hospital after open-heart surgery.  She is YOUNG and has so much life left to live.  She is in my prayers and I hope she will be in yours too!
