HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY week 17 of 2018

GOOD MORNING sweet ladies. I hope you all had a wonderful week. Mine was productive, but I’ve just been so tired. I’m having a REALLY tough time getting my energy back since the last surgery. The doctor keeps reminding me that 6 surgeries in 7 years (where the 1st and last were both really long surgeries – 8 hours each) is a lot for the body and to be patient, but patience is really NOT my strong suit. Not that I have much choice, so I just keep working at it. 😀

Be sure to link up with
Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy homemaker Monday

and with Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie for Menu Plan Monday.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE – once again the storms hit over the weekend. Saturday night was a wonderful thunderstorm and then Sunday was just gray, but today and tomorrow are supposed to be bright and sunny! We’re moving into that part of the year that is just too warm and humid for me so we’ll see if that lasts or if mother nature has at least one more cool front for me 😀

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE – honey nut cheerios and green tea

ON MY MIND / THINGS THAT ARE MAKING ME HAPPY – moving forward in continuous steps  in all areas of life is making me smile more!

INSPIRATION

AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE / WEEKLY TO DO LIST & HOUSE PROJECTS – there are no pressing appointments this week YAY 😀 I did get the results from last week and I’m good to go for a year on the mammogram, but they are watching the bone density more closely especially after the new issues with vitamin and mineral absorption from the stomach surgery. It’s ALWAYS something!

  • LIVING AREAS… really clean
  • KITCHEN… really clean for a change

HOMEMAKING/COOKING TIP

Jean

Love your inspiration for this week! I knew that about the peppers but I can never keep it straight when I get into the grocery store (can’t even remember my list so…LOL) Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

Rebecca Knox

Thanks for the tip about the peppers. I knew the part about how to tell the male from the female, but I didn’t know that the females were better for eating raw and the males for cooking. Wow! How cool is that??? Am praying that your energy levels come up soon. Have a blessed week ahead! <3

Joanna Unbehaun

Hey, friend!
I knew that about green peppers. My daughter always checks if they are male or female LOL
You and her also share a passion for Supergirl!
(Have you checked out The Flash?)
Have an awesome week!!!
