Good morning, dear friends. It's actually afternoon here. We've had a busy, yet relaxing Monday since it's a holiday and the hubby is off work and the kids are off school. We had a simple, easy weekend. Nothing too exciting going on., Michael and a friend went fishing and camping. It was a little chilly, but they had fun. We ran a few errands on Saturday. Theresa was feeling under the weather, so she stayed home and relaxed a bit.

I hope you had a fun weekend. 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.

As I Look Out My Window~

The sun is shining. The birds have been chirping like crazy. The leaves have started to turn. I see shades of yellow, red, and orange. We're just starting to see the hues of fall. 

Right Now I Am ~

I'm typing up this post. I just had some rice for lunch. I've already ironed some of my husband's shirts, and I washed some new fabric so I can start making some new tree skirts. 

Thinking and Pondering~

I have a few personal things on my mind. I'm trying to figure out how to deal with them, what the best solution would be, and how to go about helping. I'm definitely praying about this. I'm waiting patiently waiting on God's guidance.

How am I Feeling~

A little tired, I haven't been sleeping all that well. My shoulder is a little sore. I think I slept on it wrong. 

What's for Breakfast~

I had gluten-free pancakes with maple syrup and coffee.

What I Am Wearing~

T-shirt, leggings, and a zip-up hoody. I also have my Uggs on since my toes go numb.
