Lola had a tough weekend, she had multiple seizures which left her utterly physically drained, and Curt and I emotionally drained and exhausted. We practically got about 3 hours sleep on Saturday night and another 3 on Sunday. I'm not going to go into much detail, I just don't want to talk about it at the moment, and I'm sure you all understand that.
Anyway, with that said, I'm going to jump right into this week's HHM.
The weather outside is::::
Had severe storms around 2am this morning. We actually had quite a few weather watches and warnings going, tornado, severe thunderstorms, hail etc. It stopped around 6:30 am and the skies cleared up, though the wind was very strong. Now it's getting overcast again and we have more severe storms on the way. One thing I don't like about Texas weather, is the humidity, I hate feeling sticky and clammy. Yuck!!!
On the breakfast plate this morning::::
Since it's already after noon, I am currently having lunch which is just a cup of coffee, a toasted ham and cheese sandwich and a small slice of cake from hubby's birthday yesterday. For breakfast I had my usual yogurt, granola and berries. ot.
As I look outside my window:::
Literally my view at the moment. I'll never tire of it.
Right now I am::::
At the dining table in the green living room, typing up this post, finishing my lunch and taking a break before I have to move on with cleaning and getting ready for the reunion. I have so much to do before Friday.
As I look around the house::::

PLEASE, don't add links to this list that are not part of the Happy Homemaker Monday. I've asked numerous times, and I'm frankly quite tired of having to remove links to other posts that shouldn't be in this list. Please be respectful of my request!
I'm so sorry to hear about poor Lola! Such a difficult time when a family pet is ill. My girls' hamster passed on this week and it's been emotional for them.
ReplyDeleteTry to catch up on sleep when you can this week. I hope you have a wonderful family reunion.
Sending hugs and good thoughts to you, as you get through this busy week and after having such a difficult weekend. Here in Mississippi, we've got the humid with capital H, so I understand how you feel, especially since I lived in Arizona for many years before moving here. But Arizona wasn't GREEN, was it and the "rivers" only did that when it poured from the sky?! So this is our gift for the rain and humidity. Take care of you.
ReplyDeleteWow! You have some serious busy - but fun times ahead!! Your food all sounds SO good!! Blessings and prayers for safe travels for family and GOOD weather!! ;)
