{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 03/09/2026 }

 
 
 
Good morning sweet ladies, welcome back.
 
First I need to apologize for putting this post up so late, but this time change is really confusing me.  I am so tired and so out of it.  I'm sure I'm not the only one, but anyway, let's just get going.
 
I hope you are all doing well, and I wish you a very blessed week ahead.

 *** The Weather *** 
Confusing.  90 degrees one day, and the next morning 30.  I gave up trying to understand it.  We have also headed straight into Tornado season and had some tornado watches over the weekend.  I'm praying for a calmer, warmer week. 
 
Monday - Partly cloudy, 89
Tuesday - Thunderstorms, 85
Wednesday - Partly cloudy, 67
Thursday - Sunny, 69
Friday - Sunny, 85
Saturday - Sunny, 90
Sunday - Partly cloudy, 79
 
 
*** Right now I am *** 
Trying to get this post up as quick as I can, while listening to worship music.  
 
 
*** Thinking and pondering *** 
Normal day to day stuff, meal planning and house cleaning, bills, but also really wanting to get this blog taken care of.  I am finally 100% better and feel like I can finally move on with my days. 
 
 
*** How I am feeling ***
Good physically, and blessed.  Listening to worship music always reminds just how blessed I am.  I will say, I am one of those people that just cries her eyes out while listening to worship, I just can't help it.   
 
 
*** On the breakfast plate *** 
Just had a toasted ciabatta roll with some Irish butter, and two scrambled eggs.  I've also had my two cups of coffee already, seems to be a daily thing lately.   

 
*** On the lunch plate *** 
I am not hungry at all, my breakfast filled me up, but if I get peckish I do have a vegetable tray in the fridge and will nibble on that.      
 
 
*** On the dinner plate *** 
Roast Pork with roast potatoes, salad.    
 
 
*** On the menu *** 
It is again time to work on the new meal plan.  As always I will have meals just until Tuesday, then the new menu kicks in.
 
Monday - Roast Pork with roast potatoes, salad
Tuesday -  Panda Express Chow Mein with Pork (will use the leftover pork from the roast), Steamed Broccoli
Wednesday - Chicken Bake with peppers and olives, Quinoa, Chickpea salad
Thursday -  
Friday
Saturday -   
Sunday

 
*** What I am wearing *** 
A summer dress, it will be quite hot today and it's my rest day from working out.    
 
 
*** On my reading pile *** 
I finished the whole Medieval Christian Fiction trilogy by Carrie Cotten, and really, really enjoyed it.  Also finished a new book called Lisbon, and have started on Martha by Diana Wallis Taylor which is a biblical fiction. 

In the Bible I am reading through Genesis.  At church we are reading through Ecclesiastes for our sermon series called The World is Not Enough. 
 
 
 
*** On my TV this week *** 
Turkish shows:
Guller Ve Gunahlar
Ayni Yagmur Altinda
Sevdigim Sensin
Yeralti
Abi
 
YouTube homemaking and book videos

 
*** Looking around the house *** 
I gave the house a good clean yesterday, so aside from just the daily tasks of maintaining the home.  
 
 
*** To do list for today*** 
Water inside plants 
Daily bible reading and devotional/bible study
Get at least 10k steps in
New meal plan and grocery list 

 
*** What I am creating *** 
Nothing, I still need to finish the Lego flower and haven't yet picked up my crochet blanket at all.  The past 2 months have been so crazy and have gone so quickly, I feel like I haven't had a chance to breathe.      
 
 
*** From the camera *** 
I just adore books and when I see a stack like this, I can't help but smile.

*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses *** 
Still praying over so many things, my list is never ending.
 
I wanted to share a song with you today, it's my absolute favorite at the moment, and when we sing it at church it just penetrates my heart like nothing else.

Glad you feel better again.

But not good that the tornado season will be starting.

The time changes here in the night of march 28-29. I don't like it either. It takes time to adjust again and 6 months later it starts again...

Enjoy your week!

I'm not a fan of the time change either, it does mess us up!
We had tornadoes in MI this weekend, a really bad one. And it's so crazy that it happened in March. That's very early for us.
Your sermons series on Ecclesiastes sounds very interesting.
