Happy Homemaker Monday June 5th, 2017

Welcome to this week's Happy Homemaker Monday.  I am linking up with Sandra at Diary of a SAHM.  

Jennah's testing and EGD were all inconclusive.  There is no visible cause of all of her stomach issues.  The surgeon says that it is possible that it is all due to her anxiety issues.  Emily also has stomach problems from anxiety; however, hers are more of a stomach ache, where Jennah's is pain with radiation, vomiting, nausea, etc.  It's frustrating.  ANYWAY - during anesthesia for the EGD, they found that her tonsils are huge!  They are touching :/  So now we are trying to find an ENT to see if they need to come out, which I'm guessing is going to be a yes since she has begun to snore loudly.  

The weather:::  We're still a mix of raining/stormy days and gorgeous 80-degree late spring days.  Today is the former.  I'm hoping for some loud thunder and bright lightening! 


On my reading pile::: I finished "A Court of Thorns and Roses".  It was really good.  I won't be buying the next in the series at full price, but if I see it super cheap, I'll pick it up.  And I am ALMOST done with "Gone with the Wind".  I still love it. 

Starting "Suspicion" by Dee Henderson.  I LOVE her writing!

LOTS of Nashville - I'm almost caught up!

Looking around the house::: See above - lots of decluttering and cleaning in progress ..... 


From the camera:::  In all my years, I've never seen one!  It's a tulip poplar.  Imagine these blooming overhead and their gorgeous petals blanketing your walk in the woods! 

What I'm wearing today::: Workout clothes - capris and a t-shirt 


One of my simple pleasures::: Planning - whether it's meal planning or just making lists of things I need to do.  Gives me a feeling of peace and calm
