Happy Homemaker Monday #34

Morning everyone :)

Woke up this morning to a wet world outside, seems it rained last night.  Just wish it had happened during the day so I could have seen it :)   But it's cooled us off tremendously which is always a good thing.

The Weather:::
70 degrees this morning, thanks to last night's rain :)   Looks like some more rain this week, but we'll see.




On my reading pile:::

Started Out of this world - A woman's life among the Amish by Mary Swander, then set it aside while I read Pies & Prejudice, so I'm thinking I need to go finish that one.
Have a few others from the library that I have to read before they're due.

On my tv:::
Hell on Wheels Episode 4
My Portuguese soaps (Doce Tentacao, Louco Amor, Tempo de Viver)
Copper
Breaking Amish (new show on TLC)

On the menu for this week:::
Only know what we're having today.  The rest of the days are a bit of a mix up right now, see this payday I went completely bonkers with the menu plan and mixed days up and switched this one and that one.  Truth be told, it sent me off track and I feel like I'm lost.  Won't be doing that again.

Monday -  Potstickers, Sesame Noodles
Tuesday -
Wednesday - 
Thursday -
Friday -  *Grocery Shopping*
Saturday - 
Sunday  - 

On my to do list:::
Homeschooling
Laundry
Mop floors

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Finished my big ripply blanket and already got to snuggle under it.  Love it so much :)

Homemaking Tips:::
Not sure if spaghetti is fully cooked? Pull a noodle out of a pot of simmering water, let the water drip from it for a few seconds, and then chuck it against the nearest kitchen wall. If it adheres to the wall, it’s al dente!

Looking around the house:::
It's quiet and it's dark, save for a candle glow coming from the kitchen.  Hubby is finishing off checking his facebook and then he's out the door for work.  Living room needs a little picking up from this weekend, kitchen is dreadful right now and there are dishes that need washing, a table that has random things dropped on from toys to college books to cookbooks. 

From the camera:::
I picked this one, just because it's my favorite nail polish.  It's beautiful and it's very natural and not in your face like most of my other nail polishes are :)

 
On my prayer list:::
My brother in law Chris, as he begins a new chapter in his life.  He is moving from OK to TX to start a new job, so I pray that he enjoys it, I pray he finds a good place to stay and that he makes new friends :) 
My father and stepmom, they're still going through a big of a rough time, life hasn't been easy and I pray for some peace and some quiet for them. 

Bible verse, Devotional:::
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Proverbs 9:10

Slinging spaghetti at the walls is one of my favorite past times. My girls love to see it stick.

I love that finger nail polish, what kind is it?

I think you got the rain we were supposed to have. And I know how you feel about your menu. I seem to schedule my life around dinner and when that's out of whack, so is everything else.

Seems like a nice day. Glad you had some rain to cool things off some! Usually my menu plan is a bit of a guessing game as well, but this week I'm better! Trying at least! Hope you have a nice Monday!

Just going through my blog roll visiting old friends. I guess I've been following your blog since 2008 when I started mine. I love reading your stories, watching your children grow up, and getting a glimpse into your daily life.
