Be sure to join Happy Homemaker Monday with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

LAST WEEK RECAPPED

My week was busy, but fortunately calmed down on Saturday and I took it REALLY easy on Easter so I’m beginning to feel recharged and ready to hit the ground running this week. I was able to get caught up on many things FINALLY!

I hope everyone had a great holiday whether you celebrated Passover or Easter. Ours was really quiet. We had brunch with a few friends and laughed A LOT! We were supposed to have a fairly large dinner, but my step dad became sick and I didn’t want to expose any of mom’s elderly friends that I had invited to his illness. So I cut the ham in half and only made half the batches of everything else. I served my mom and step dad separately as I can’t be exposed either due to my own immuno-compromised system.

TO DO LIST, APPOINTMENTS & PROJECTS

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS

I’m going to do a bit of shopping for a few groceries today, doing the Eagle’s shopping on Wednesday, having lunch with a girlfriend on Thursday and going to the annual Quilt Show on Friday. We’re planning the trip for the family reunion and another trip in June to go see our son and his wife in their new town in the MidWest. We’ll be leaving on Mother’s Day for our family reunion trip so I’m NOT too concerned with meal planning or menus until we get back. Call my hairdresser for another appointment and figure out why my hair won’t hold color? That beautiful color from last week is gone already despite using the specific shampoo she gave me 🙁

DVR/TV TIME

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV

We watched a few movies over the weekend on NETFLIX: LUCY, HOSTAGE and KRAVEN the HUNTER and I watched a few episodes of the latest season of SWEET MAGNOLIAS and LUCIFER. We’re finishing cleaning up the DVR and just have a cooking shows to clean up.

READING TIME

My girlfriend and I were talking about book club and the direction it has taken. Neither of us are happy with the direction it has taken 🙁
