{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 11/14/2022 }

 

 

 

Good morning everyone, welcome back to my little blog. 

 

I am coming to you this morning, from a very cold, rainy Texas.  We are even expecting some snow mixed in with the rain.  Crazy!

I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend.  Ours went too fast.  Friday we met up with Curt's aunt and cousin, in Oklahoma, for a catch up lunch, and to go visit my mother in law's grave.  It was great catching up, we hadn't seen each other since March.  Anyway, Saturday I went grocery shopping at the base commissary.  I have so missed shopping in store.  

If you missed my previous post, I gave an update on Kaia, she is well now, back to normal and thankfully over this gastro issue she had.  Thank the Lord!

 

And with that, I'm going to move right into our post for today.  Have a wonderful, blessed week friends,

Sandra

Cold and hot.  That's the best way to describe this nonsense.

Wednesday - Partly cloudy, 81
Thursday - Partly cloudy, 81
Friday - Sunny, 54
Saturday - Sunny, 52  

Sunday - Partly cloudy, 56



♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥
Cloudy and really dreary this morning.  All the trees in our yard are a beautiful orange and yellow.  I always find that the contrast between the leaves being that color, and the cloudy skies, makes for such a beautiful picture. 

 

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥
Sitting on my bed, typing up this post.     

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥
About Kaia.  I hate seeing one of our babies unwell.  I will tell you, it has brought up a lot of anxiety for me.  Marley's sickness traumatized me in ways I never thought possible.  It's so strange how our brains immediately go to some place, during different situations.  I am just trying to stay focused, and not allow my mind to shift back to those thoughts, because it sends my anxiety into a tail spin. 

 

♥♥ How am I feeling ♥♥
Really tired.  The past 3 nights, I haven't slept well, and am just feeling exhausted.

 

 

 
♥♥ Listening to ♥♥

A sermon on the tv.

♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥♥
Just had a second cup of coffee, and some toast.  

                 

  

♥♥ On the lunch plate ♥♥
I have leftover steamed broccoli from dinner on Saturday, so I'll be adding a can of tuna to it, a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, and that will be my lunch.     

 

 

♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥
Chicken Enchiladas, Tomato rice, Beans.         

 

 

♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥
I have a pair of black leggings on, and a love sleeved dark grey top.  Also have some warm socks on my feet, because it's quite cold right now.

♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥
It is quite dark, as it's raining outside.  By the back patio door in the living room, area all my veggies from outside.  They are still thriving and producing, but we have been having frost in the morning, and I don't want them to die.

 

We potted them all and brought them in, until they're done producing veggies.  At the moment I have quite a lot of plants in my house, and that's ok, I love seeing all the green.
