{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 07/13/2026 }

 

Good morning everyone, welcome back.  How was your weekend?  
 
I hope it was a good one.  I for one had a quiet weekend with not going out and not having tons to do.  It's been months since I have had a proper relaxing weekend so it felt wonderful to be able to do that.
 
I am going to quickly put this post up because I need to head out the door, in about 20 minutes, with my husband, for his VA dental appointment in Oklahoma.  
 
I wish you all a very blessed week ahead, and thank you again for always stopping by even if I don't always have the time to return the favor.  I need to remedy that, truly, I do.

*** Right now I am *** 
I just made my breakfast quickly and brought it to my desk so that I can eat and post at the same time.  I'm already dressed and hair done, makeup done everything, just have to put on some sandals and head out the door.  
 
 
*** Thinking and pondering *** 
My stepmom will be visiting us in September and I can't wait for it.  So I'm already thinking and planning everything ahead.  
 
 
*** How I am feeling ***
A bit crampy this morning as it is the beginning of that week, you know.  But I keep telling myself, I'm turning 52 next month so this won't be for much longer, and I bet you by the time I'm through menopause, I will actually have days where I miss this.        
 
 
*** On the breakfast plate *** 
Two pieces of wholewheat toast and two scrambled eggs with a cup of coffee.  However, I've had just half of it, and I think I'm done.  With the eggs and toast that is, the coffee will never stay just half, that has to go completely.  Hahah
 
 
*** On the lunch plate ***
Not sure, I don't know how long Curt's appointment will be so we may just have lunch in Oklahoma.
