HAPPY HOMEMAKER MONDAY with MENU PLANS week 17 of 2023 ~ BLOG 365.114

Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

SPRING is FINALLY here, or was at least for a few days. 😀 Today and tomorrow are iffy, but after that fortunately the nice weather will coincide with our trip to the coast for the Eagles conference we’re going to next weekend.

I’m thankful that hubby’s surgery is over and all seems to have gone well. There will be several follow ups over the next several weeks. If all goes well, he’ll have the other eye done in July.

I have several friends who are burning the candle at both ends. I want to help them all and I’m trying to, but then I’m burning the candle at both ends. I’m trying to set more limits in my life.

Oatmeal and hot water.

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS
  • LAUNDRY & CLEANING I’m caught up on everything except a load of towels that I’ll do tomorrow. I’ll have another load I’ll do Wednesday before we leave on Thursday.

You know I’ve been trying to find someone to get a handle on the feral cats? Well, it hasn’t happened yet and we came home being away for hubby’s surgery to this. They are adorable, but we HAVE to find a way to end this cycle. No one wants to take responsibility for their animals and they keep making their way here where we are right next to the country highway. 🙁

Have to take care of yourself before you can take car of others 😉 Do they not have any feral cat type catch and release type programs in your area? I know around here, some organizations do a type of free/low cost spay and neuter program for people to catch the strays and then re-release them. Hope you do find those sweet kittens home though! Hope you have a wonderful and relaxing rest of your week and weekend.

I wish there were more. There are some, but they book up so fast and the ferals are being born faster than they can get to them all! 🙁 So far the weekend is starting out awesome as I’m relaxing on the bay 🙂

Hello my Lovely!
Spring is trying to show up here too. Looks like several cooler days then hopefully warmer temps. I pray I’ll be digging in the dirt in another month!
Yes, please set limits and take care of yourself. You do so much wonder woman! But you can’t do it all. So happy to hear your hubby is healing so well.
I hope you can find a shelter that can help with all the kitties! Geesh!
Love your inspo as always. 😉 Have a very blessed week ahead. xo

We’re going to the coast this weekend and it looks like it is going to be just what the doctor ordered to refresh me and my spirit – Sunny 70’s 😀 I had a meeting today where I did SET MY LIMITS and it went well. Another friend and I (we’re the 2 helping get the 3rd to set up her business) agreed on some things today that helped make those limits more realistic. Me too on the kitties – GEESH they aren’t even my animals, but have found their refuge from their abusers or ignorers here knowing we are soft hearted and wouldn’t turn them away during this past severe winter, but ENOUGH is ENOUGH! Have a blessed week my friend.

So glad hubby’s surgery went well!
When we lived out of town limits, the stray cats were everywhere! We adopted a stray in 2021 and had her spayed. She’s now my oldest daughter’s cat. Also, I’m taking notes on your recipes here.

Ours have always been stray adoptees also. I also agree spaying is the best way, but since we have no animals of our own right now and will be moving soon I’m trying to find homes for them and get those people to absorb the cost of spaying all these cats! 😀 Have a GREAT week.

I just made yet another call to the woman who was finding a foster home for the first set of kittens that are now 4 months old and as you can see bring home their own kittens. I have to find an end to this cycle! They aren’t even our cats! Have a great week.

Lucie

Oh my so many small kittens. Hope you can find someone to take care of them.
You cannot always help others .. they need to set their limits too.
Glad your dh’s operation went well, sending positive vibes for the next one.
Have a great weekend with the Eagles.
