Good morning, how are you all doing?
Here we are, Monday, the 20th of December, just 5 days from Christmas. I am nowhere near ready, due to me being sick the whole of last week. It just delayed everything, I was stuck in bed for most of the week, trying to get over this cold.
Thankfully, I seem to finally be on the mend, for which I'm very grateful. I don't know about you all, but I have zero patience for being sick, it drives me crazy when I want to get things done but my body does not cooperate.
Now that I'm on the mend, I am rushing to try and get caught up. Fingers crossed!!!
Right, let's get on with our Happy Homemaker Monday, and see what everyone is up to. Have a blessed week my friends!

* My niece Tiffany, she is now almost 39 weeks, so can go at any time. We've told her it would be best if Dalton arrived before Christmas and not on the actual day hahahah
♥♥The Weather♥♥
Done with this craziness. Everyone around here is sick with a cold due to the ever changing temperatures. I'm ready for it to be Winter, and remain winter without jumping back and forth through hot and cold. But alas, Texas has a different idea.....I'll just leave this week's weather preview for you, and you can make up your own mind.....I give up lol
♥♥How I am feeling this morning♥♥
I'm doing better, no more low grade fevers the past 2 days, no more sore throat or headache either. Still congested and now am at the phase of the cold where the cough sets in. It's a bit frustrating because it keeps me up at night, but I'm much better than I was all weekend.
♥♥On my mind♥♥
Christmas, all I need to cook and bake and one last minute gift I have to purchase.

Wrapped presents, that's it. Oh and watched some Christmas vlogs and a movie. Other than that, nothing much.

I'm glad you're on the mend - horrible time of the year to be sick and Texas weather does certainly have a mind of its own making it that much harder. Enjoy the week and Christmas preparations. So hope Dalton doesn't arrive in the midst, but babies do have their own timing! I pray for a happy, safe delivery for Tiffany and keeping Hayley and her recovery in my prayers. Million dollar spaghetti has certainly piqued my interest?
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas my friend - have a blessed week.
Glad to hear you are feeling better. I'm the same way with patience. I'm dealing with a sprained ankle and it's frustrating wearing this heavy boot.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for linking the peaceful videos you find in your posts. The one today is wonderful! You've introduced me to several YouTube channels that I never would have known about. I hope you and your family have a merry Christmas and a peaceful new year.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are on the mend. Have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling better dear Sandra! Don't worry about everything getting done. Get the rest you need too. As Momma's we want to do it all. But the real reason for the season will be celebrated, you're together with your family and that is all that really matters. 😊 ❤️ I hope you have a very blessed rest of your week and a wonderful Christmas!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're feeling better. It's so hard to be sick during this time of year. Our weather is all over the place as well. Keeping your sister-in-law and niece in my prayers. Hope you have a wonderful week and a very happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMay you continue to feel better and have a lovely Christmas and a great 2022. Love, hugs and prayers ~ FlowerLady
