Good Morning, dear friends! Happy New Year and Happy February! I hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas. It has been a while since I blogged last. I think I just needed a break to regroup and figure out this new path in life. I needed time to think about what I wanted, needed, and desired in this next phase of life. I'll be honest, I don't think I have it all figured out just yet, but I do seem to have an idea of what I want.
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~
In the mid 50's today and will get in the 60s this week. Unseasonably warmer than it should be in February. I'm not complaining though. The hubby and I got back from a mini vacation in the Florida Keys last week, so I've been a little cold here since we got back. It was in the 80s while we were there and I loved the warm weather and the sunshine.
Monday~ Partly Cloudy, 55*
Tuesday~Partly Cloudy, 56*
Wedenesday~ Partly Cloudy, 68*
Thursday~ Rain, 62*
Friday~ Scattered Showers, 54*
Saturday~ Sunny, 50*
Sunday~ Cloudy, 57*
I'll be getting outside on Wednesday to get the Christmas lights down since it will be warm. My fingers won't freeze, so it's a good day for that.
As I Look Out My Window~
It's overcast, but the sun is trying to peak out. The birds have been flying around and chirping away. They have been enjoying the warmer temps. The cats are enjoying the show the birds have been putting on. Lots of chattering has been going on.
Right Now I Am ~
I'm typing up this post. I already sent out my weekly email to the parents for Sunday school this morning. I attempted yesterday, but the internet was horrible...maybe because of the Superbowl.
Thinking and Pondering~
I'm glad to be home and getting back into my routine. I do miss the beautiful sunrises and warm temperatures. I need to catch up on my Bible study lessons for Thursday.
How am I Feeling~
Pretty good right now. Allergies have kicked back in. While I was in Florida, I didn't have any! It was so nice.
What's for Breakfast~
Two eggs scrambled and two cups of English Breakfast Tea. I gave up coffee back in December. My stomach has been a lot better. I still miss it at times.
Looking Around the House~
It needs to be vacuumed and mopped. I need to organize again. I started a deep cleaning notebook. I have a page for each room and my plan is to go room by room spring cleaning the entire house. The house always feels stuffy in the winter so I'll be glad to open up the windows this week to air it all out.
On the To-Do List This Week~
Clean and sanitize the house
Laundry
Start deep cleaning each room
Take down the outdoor Christmas lights

Catch up on my bible study lessons. I missed 3 classes and I need to figure out where we are. Read a few pages from one of my books.
One of My Simple Pleasures~
Sitting outside and feeling the sunshine on my face and toes.
From the Camera~
We spotted this little (not so little)guy hanging out while we walked along Bahia Honda beach. So many people walked right by him.
