Good morning or should I say good afternoon since it's already 12:30. We had a busy weekend! Therese had her first swim meet, Michael's youth group went on a mission trip for the week, and we're trying to get our new kitty accepted into the fold. A task that is easier said than done. So far, so good! hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are looking forward to the new week ahead!
So on with Happy Homemaker Monday hosted by Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. I love joining in, but life tends to get too busy and I end of missing it. Be sure to join it!
~The Weather~
It's hot and humid here. The sun is out and there are very few clouds in the sky. The bad part is it's only going to get hotter as the week goes on and there's no rain in the forecast. I'll have to remember to water the flowers and tomatoes plants.

~On the To Do List Around the House~
Clean the bathrooms
Organize the pantry
Mop the floors
Catch up on the laundry after out vacation
Organize the school room and clean out some more books
~What I'm Working On~
I'm currently working on completing the paperwork the kid's transcripts. I have 2 more course descriptions for Michael and then I'm done for this year. I'm hoping to start next years course descriptions for both kids. I also need to finish up the lesson plans for next year. I can't believe June is almost over. Why does summer fly by so darn quickly!
~What I'm Reading~
I'm currently reading Sisters Like Us by Susan Mallery. The book is part of the Mischief Bay series. I discovered a few of her other books this past year and have really enjoyed them. This one I found at our local thrift store, so I'll have to see if our library has the other 4!

~Looking forward to~
My nail appointment this week. I may even get a pedicure. The sand from the beach and the salt water was little harsh on my last one.
Michael coming home after his week long mission trip. The house just doesn't seem right without him here. I miss seeing his face, even if it's not the cute, little boy full of smiles that used to run and greet me. The teenage years are difficult for us all.
~From the Camera~
Doesn't he have the cutest face? This little guy started coming around a few months ago. Starving, missing hair, wounds from cat fights, and scared to death of us. Then suddenly last week, he feel in love with Therese. The top picture is the second day he didn't his at us.
Well after a visit to the vet, he's officially a house cat. No health problems, except a wound on his neck we are working on healing up. He's about 2 years old. We'll get him fixed in the next couple of weeks. We don't want to contribute to the feral cat population if he sneaks outside.
I think he likes being a house cat. He's made friends with the dog and one of the cats. The other two are slowly working on their acceptance of him. Thankfully, he can walk around the house. The not so friendly kitties just hiss and walk away. Both girls accepted our last stray, so I know everything will work out in the end.

Awww those are adorable cats. My daughter loves cats but I'm very allergic to them so we've never been able to have them.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Susan Mallery amazing? I love her books :)
Have a wonderful week!
What a cute kitty! He looks very content in his new home. Love your inspiration for the week. Hope it's a wonderful one for you!
ReplyDeleteI need to get a pedi soon.... I am giving my fingers a break, but so miss my pretty nails! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a cute cat and it's awesome that y'all opened your doors to him. Have y'all named him yet? I'll have to check Mallery's books out, that one looks like it's a fun read.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week.
What a little sweetheart your new kitty looks like! I enjoyed hearing about your plans for the week - hope it's a good one!
ReplyDeleteLove the cat pictures - enjoy your new cat. Teenage years are hard for parents, but they do pass and things get better afterwards. Have a great week
ReplyDeleteI think we're all a bit late this week - just been busy! I loved that book - hope you're enjoying it. I LOVE your kitty pictures - so sweet.
