Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday
GOOD MORNING everyone. Happy Monday! I can’t believe how quickly time seems to fly at this time of year! I hope you had a blessed and productive week full of family time and fun. I got quite a bit accomplished and saw some great football (The Chiefs and Titans game was one of the best I’ve seen all season) and NASCAR too.
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE & WHAT I’M WEARING
I follow 2 different weather pages and rarely do they agree so I usually figure it will just be somewhere in between 😀 Every now and then they come within a couple degrees of agreeing.
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE We’re back to food not being a not so friendly. So, hot water and baby food it is for breakfast.
AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE, WEEKLY TO DO LIST, HOUSE & CRAFT PROJECTS, APPOINTMENTS FYI Christmas is only 44 days away! Are you ready? 😀
- LAUNDRY, LIVING AREAS & KITCHEN… pretty neat, just a little tidying to do
- YARD… not a single thing!
- APPOINTMENTS & TO DO… Hubby and I both have several this week 😀 that will make a TO DO list difficult as they are in the middle of the days
- BLOG… My goal is to get caught up on BLOGEMBER that I’ve fallen behind on, work on some BLOGMAS posts that can be done ahead of time and finish a couple recipes that I’ve been updating…
- CRAFTS/PROJECTS… Hoping to get to the Bowling Pin snowmen, but they will probably wait until after Thanksgiving because I started a Christmas Card Tower that I need to get painted before the weather gets too cold
ON MY MIND I’m worried about hubby and his upcoming interaction with his youngest sister over Thanksgiving. I know he intends to keep it civil, but she is so far over the line about her dealings with their parents passing, settling affairs and the celebration of Life that I’m afraid it will come to a major fight and legal action to straighten it out so it’s fair for all 5 kids. Unfortunately, no one wants to stand up to her and will just allow her to “screw” them all to avoid the unpleasantness 🙁 We could use prayers that things go smoothly.
WHAT IS ON THE DVR, I LIKE OR ON THE LIST TO WATCH/SOMETHING INTERESTING I WATCHED The DVR is getting a bit backed up and we need to get caught up on quite a few shows and movies. Some of the favorite shows this year are:
- CRIME, POLICE & MEDICAL Shows – Chicago Series (Medical, FIRE and Police), Law & Order SVU, Blue Bloods, Hawaii 5-0, Magnum PI, FBI, NCIS, NCIS LA, NCIS NOLA, All Rise, Bluff City Law, The Resident, New Amsterdam, The Good Doctor, Stumptown, The Rookie, Madam Secretary, Bull, 911, Emergence, Seal Team
- COMEDIES & FAMILY – Young Sheldon, The Good Place, The Unicorn, American Housewife, GOD Friended me
- REALITY – The Masked Singer, Dancing with the Stars
We rented a couple Red Box movies over the weekend that were pretty good:
- Hobbs & Shaw with Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham – far fetched and funny 😀
- The Kitchen – about the Irish Mob with Melissa McCarthy
- The Art of Racing in the Rain – a really sweet film with Milo Ventimiglia

I’m the late one this week! As a KC Chiefs fan can I just respectfully disagree with you about that being a “great” game? Maybe had it ended 5 minutes or say 2 minutes earlier even…SIGH, then I would say yes. Sorry about the food issues again and many prayers for your husband’s family. It’s so hard when loved ones pass away and the family issues get worse. Hope you’ve had a wonderful week despite those challenges.
LOL 😀 Jean I too am a Chiefs fan – I meant that it was a good game in that it wasn’t boring 😀 not necessarily who won. I did have a good week and pray all the rest of it just works itself out. I hope you’ve had a GREAT week too.
Hello Sweetie!
Late me as always.
Praying for your family dynamics to work out. That is such a tricky one. Especially when the issues are with the ones we love. Prayers for a peaceful resolution.
I love those all natural beauty tips! And love catching up with you always.
xoxo
I’ve been running late for weeks myself 😀 Thank you for all the great thoughts. See you next week 😀
I so enjoy reading your posts and your food pics are always so lovely! What, pray tell, is a Christmas card tower??? Can you post a pic please? I am hoping to participate in Blogmas 2019, but will have to see how things go. I am lifting you and your family up in my prayers and trust the Lord to work everything out according to His perfect will. Blessings over all! <3
Thank you. I promise to post pictures as we go! Right now the tower is in my mind and pieces in the garage that I’m hoping to pull together into a finished project as the next couple weeks come together. Thank you for the prayers. I’m praying too that patience, tolerance and grace will be the biggest participants at Thanksgiving.
Food is not my friend this Week either. I do wish they could find Something to help out, other than waiting for it to pass 🙁
Good luck with your dealings with your sister in law.
Have a great Week.
Thank you! Me too. I hope your week is GREAT too!
Hobbs and Shaw is on my list to watch. And now I want some orange teriyaki chicken! Have a great week!
It was a fun movie – inconceivable, but fun! Have a GREAT week too.
