Good Morning, dear friends... Happy Monday! It's hard to believe that this is the last Monday of August. Where did summer go? I know for us, it was busy. Lots of stuff going on and very little downtime. It was fun and exciting though.
I hope you all had a wonderful week. Let's get on with Happy Homemaker Monday with our beautiful hostess Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Be sure to stop in and say hey there.
The Weather~
We've had a few hot ones here the last week. It was fine if you were in the shade. However, if you were working out in the sun, it was pretty yucky. I have to admit, I am ready for fall temps.

As I Look Out My Window~
The sun is up and shining through the trees making the leaves sparkle. Two deer are standing in the front woods casually grazing on some grass.
Right Now I Am ~
I am typing up this post while waiting for my first load of laundry to be done.
Thinking and Pondering~
I'm running a list through my head about Sunday school. I'm trying to make sure I have everything I need for class and everything prepared. Therese and I will finish setting up the classroom this week. I like being prepared.
How am I Feeling~
Not too bad. My allergies are acting up again. My eyes are itchy. My stomach has been bothering me, so trying to get that under control and I had 2 migraines this past week. So
too horrible, but could be better.
What's for Breakfast~
A gluten-free cinnamon sugar muffin and a cup of coffee. I'm currently warming up water for a cup of peppermint tea to help with my stomach. I probably shouldn't have had coffee this morning.
Looking Around the House~
The house is not too bad. The floors need to be vacuumed again. For some reason, the dog is shedding like crazy. We joke she's molting like the chickens. I need to organize a few things around the house but nothing major.

Your chicks are adorable! Yummy looking menu. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh so much for me to love in this post. Ok so the temperatures, I hear ya I'm ready for Fall. The stomach thing, I have issues with mine all the time, the only thing that helps is that I've started taking probiotic gummies. I chuckled though because like you, my stomach will be off and I'll drink coffee, or eat something I shouldn't Hahaha
ReplyDeleteThe book Sold on a Monday was pretty good, I read it beginning of the year. Outlander books....yesssss. Love them!
Love your sweet girl's picture ♥
Have a blessed week my friend,
Sandra

Monique, thank you for your comment (Happy Homemaker Monday). I enjoyed reading what you wrote. Migraine is awful. I know little about you, hence my question: do you have it more often? OK, learn to crochet? Good! I can only knit. But my sister's daughter crochets such beautiful things.
ReplyDeleteThe picture with the dog is funny
I think the hot, dry weather stirs things up and makes allergies worse, and our cat is also shedding like mad still. Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteWould like to see the fabric tree skirts! Loved reading your post. Have a great week
