{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 10/15/2018 }

Good morning friends, welcome to another Happy Homemaker Monday :)

I would give you three guesses as to how I'm feeling, but I'm pretty sure you can all guess in ONE try.  Tired!!!!

You are a winner, and you, and you in the back there.  Hahah

As usual I didn't get very good sleep last night, so I'm feeling it this morning, and it doesn't help that it is absolutely freezing today.

Anyway, let's get cracking with our HHM and see what is going on in our households

The weather outside is::::

Freezing, it is currently 38 with a real feel of 29.  Welcome winter, and thanks Texas for skipping right from summer high 90's to wintery cold 30's.  This weather is so confused, and it's not just Texas to be honest, it seems to be all over the world. 

On the breakfast plate this morning::::

I'm enjoying a second cup of coffee, because it's needed this morning, and because I'm cold and it is the best thing on a cold morning.  I just had some toast as well, that I had to share with Marley, of course.

As I look outside my window:::

Tree branches are waving about in the wind, the skies are a deep grey at the moment, in places looking purple.

Right now I am::::

Working on this blog post and watching Claire Witt's Weekly Vlog on Youtube3.

As I look around the house::::

It is pretty dark in here even though it's practically 9am.  I wanted to put out more Fall decorations but haven't gotten around to doing it, and not sure if I will.  I remember when I used to go all out for Halloween and decorate everything.  I stopped doing that years ago when the kids got older and weren't interested in Trick or Treating or anything of the sort.

On today's to do list::::

Laundry....it is all done, so I don't have to worry about that.
Cleaning....In the kitchen, I just unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher.  I don't have enough dishes to run a load so I'll leave it until tonight's dinner dishes and then run it.  Counters are clean and tidy, so the kitchen is done.  
In the living rooms....need to vacuum and dust. 
In the bedrooms....Already made my bed, opened the blinds and curtains.  The kids do their own bedrooms. 
Homeschooling....We will be on Fall Break from Wednesday until Monday.  Not a very long break but that's fine. 
Crocheting and kniting....Still stuck on the Ubuntu CAL, but mainly because I'm enjoying my knitting right now and I needed a break.
Cooking.....I have leftover Leek and Potato Soup for lunch.  For dinner I'm making a new recipe, which is the Chicken CrunchWrap, I'm looking forward to trying that.
Also need to bake some bread today.
