Doing Happy Homemaker Monday, EVERY MONDAY, loyally for all these years and so extensively helps keep me on track of my daily life as it summarizes the past week and lays out a fairly concise plan for the current week.
Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom


Good morning sweet friends. I’m not sure how, but it’s Monday again and I have NO idea where last week went. I was productive, but somehow the week still passed by too quickly! 😀
We have a storm moving in today and the temperatures are supposed to drop significantly later today and have significant rain. The rest of the week will have highs in the 40’s and 50’s with lows in the 30’s and even more rain.


I will be SOOOOOOOO happy when the elections are over and all the horrible campaign ads stop airing!
Just realizing that this year is almost over.


THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS
|
- LAUNDRY & CLEANING I’ve washed and changed out the bedding for winter. Other than that I just need to vacuum and empty the dishwasher.
- GROCERIES & ERRANDS I have a hair appointment in town later in the week so will do the few errands around that. Fortunately it is a VERY short list as I continue to clean out the freezer and pantry.
- PAPERWORK, PHONE CALLS & PROJECTS I’ve started sorting through kitchen items and Christmas boxes making piles for donation, garage sale and keeping.
- RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING I’ve finished the November menu, but need some inspiration for December.

I did something last week I haven’t done in a LONG time. I QUIT a book. I tried to hang in with it, but after 3 chapters I said no more! The writing and dialog were so bad…which really bothered me because I had read this author many times before 🙁

We have been getting quit a nice selection of song birds and our hummingbirds are year round here.

We have a new batch of kittens from the same stray. She just brought them out of hiding yesterday. The upside is that we haven’t had any mice since they have been here. There are 4 again. Boots seems to be handling motherhood well, but we haven’t seen Sunny (dad from the last batch of kittens) in a few months now.
