Good morning, dear friends! I can't believe that we are already in the second full week of September. It just doesn't seem possible. We've had another crazy few weeks. We delayed our start date for school until today. We had a major event occur in our lives that will change a few things around here drastically. We've been busy cleaning and remodeling to make everything work. I'll share more when the time is right. Just so there is no confusion, we are not expecting!
My arm/shoulder seems to be getting worse. Two hours of sleep is not cutting it. Thankfully physical therapy starts this week. If y'all could pray for a quick recovery and for the changes happening in our life, I would greatly appreciate it.
Enough about my weekly dose of chaos, let's get on with Happy Homemaker Monday. Once again, I'm joining in with Sandra over at Diary of a Stay at Home. Grab a mug full of coffee, head on over, and say hello!

❀❀~How I'm feeling this morning~❀❀
Tired and cranky! I didn't get any real sleep last night. I went to bed at 11 and was back up at 12:15 because of my arm. The pain was pretty bad last night. I went back and forth between the couch and bed. I just couldn't get comfortable. I finally gave up at 5 and just got up.
❀❀~What I'm doing right now~❀❀
I'm writing up this post, drinking some water. and sitting here with a heating pad wrapped around my arm. The pain meds the doctor gave me do nothing. I have the kid's lessons pulled up and am ready for their questions. Hopefully their first day of school goes well for all of us.
❀❀~ What's on my mind~❀❀
All the projects we need to finish this week! We need to finish cleaning out and organizing the basement. We then have some construction to do down there. We're adding a bathroom and bedroom. It's a lot of work. It's especially hard since I only have one good arm.
❀❀~What they kids are up to~❀❀
They are currently working on their lessons. They've been helping with the house chores and I feel so blessed to have them. They both are hard working and caring kids. I couldn't ask for better kids.
❀❀~What's for breakfast~❀❀
Three cups of coffee (I'm sure I'll have another in a bit), a gluten free English muffin with butter, and some strawberries. It's been my go to breakfast for the past few weeks.
❀❀~My current reading pile~❀❀
I still reading Sweet Salt Air by Barbara Delinsky. I just haven't had much time to read and when I do I have a hard time concentrating on the words. I'm sure it's due back to the library soon, so I need to finish it.

❀❀~Music I'm listening to~❀❀
My amazon prime music list. Nothing too exciting.
❀❀~What I'm working on~❀❀
I'm trying to keep the house clean, stay on top of the laundry, and help out with all the projects going on.
I'm sad to say, I have no crafts I'm working on at the moment. I just can't find the time.
❀❀~What new for me~❀❀
Nothing too new, except our projects. I'm still working on growing my new businesses. I've set up two Facebook pages for them, Monique's Beauty Corner and Monique's Pure Peace of Mind. I
m slowly growing and I'm still trying to figure out how to balance the kid's schooling, the projects, and my new work. It would help greatly if we had better internet.
I've put off my sewing and my Etsy shop for now. It's hard to sew with one arm.
❀❀~Looking around the house~❀❀
Things are still crazy around here and my house looks like a bomb blew up. Rooms are still out of order, furniture is out of place, and I have boxes stacked up. It's starting to drive me crazy. I'm sure my lack of sleep isn't helping my grouchiness.
I wish I could sleep like this chubby, little man.

❀❀~What I'm praying for~❀❀
The family
Our nation during this difficult time
Our President, Vice-President, and leaders
Police officers throughout the country
Our children as they go back to school in the new "not-normal" way
The cities being destroyed by violent protesters
The cities and families affected by the fires
The children that have been rescued from sex-trafficking and abuse and all the innocent children still being held captive
My arm and that physical therapy works and I won't need surgery
For our country to find God again
❀❀~Inspirational thought for the week~❀❀

Stay happy, healthy, and safe!
Till Next Time,

Hope all is okay. Love your little fall decorations. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeletePraying for healing for your arm. I have tendonitis in my right shoulder and physical therapy helped quite a bit, though I still can't lay on it for longer than a minute before it is hurting and numb at the same time. Crazy!
ReplyDeletePraying for peace for you as all, with whatever it is that is going on and the changes in your life.
Have a blessed week.
Sending positive thoughts for whatever is going on for your family and for your arm.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
