Happy Homemaker Monday 5-13-24

 

Did everyone have a Happy Mother's Day?? I sure did.

Let's link up with Sandra for another edition of Happy Homemaker Monday....I've had a really busy last week [who am I kidding, they're ALL busy🤣] trying to play catch-up with basically everything.

Getting the house back to where I like it to be is close to being done,

working on the outdoor stuff, along with volunteer & race stuff. 

** The Weather **

More Rain!! 

** As I look outside my window **

For now it's overcast, expected high in the 70's

 ** Right now I am **

Enjoying my ☕coffee, working on this post, listening to the little 🐈 darlings play,

[fur going everywhere, sigh]

** OOTD **

Still in loungey clothes but will be changing into outdoor work clothes.

** Thinking and pondering [how I'm feeling] **

Feeling ok, still lots on the to-do list and projects to do...

I'll get there but might be late, 🤣

** What I'm reading **

I'll Be There, but i'll be wearing sweatpants by Amy Weatherly & Jess Johnston - pleasure reading [good Lord I have another pleasure read going as well 'the last affair' by Margot Hunt on loan from my friend Stacey. I read the back jacket & prologue and was hooked😐]

My Mr has been named Danville/Boyle County 'Mr Hospitality' and will be receiving an award Wednesday at a luncheon.

I did Senior pictures for this Kid🠋yesterday

I've watched him grow up over the years and I know he's going to do great things. Grayson has been accepted in the Engineering program, w/scholarship at U of L.

Of course I couldn't resist taking a photo of his parents too, LOL

They've done a Great job raising Grayson and putting in the time and exhausting energy since he's participated in Tennis, Golf, Wrestling, with Soccer being his most favorite sport...and the one he loves the most. He'll be traveling to Italy next month, part of the Ky Soccer league travel team. He's been in Scouts since he was little and has his Eagle Scout award ceremony next month.   

** Looking forward to this week **

Thursday Thoughts + 'O' the Chaos

 

Hmmm, Where do I begin?? Last weekend was my Flying Pig race'cation with a couple of runner friends. This has been planned for a year or so. Leading up to leaving on Friday, I've been priming the Mr about what to do while I was gone. I mean with 5 little 🐈 darlings I didn't want to come home to a messy house. I have so much going on that and was hoping he would at least 'try' and help out....

Did that happen ?? 

Oh...M...Geeeee!

I was appalled at the shape of this house..

And to top it off he is apparently completely nose blind !!

Think about it 5 🐈 [actually don't think about it]

I swear I truly wanted to cry, but...I brought in my luggage & all the swag I acquired,

then sprayed every room of the house with pet order control.

I still have a HUGE job to do,

Big Tasks,

Long To-Do List,

I like having a list,

a Schedule,

A Plan,

Though I don't always get everything done

at the very least there's something to go by.

Now don't get me wrong, I knew there would be ''some'' disorder, little did I know, or Invision the ChAoS I would come home to....I told myself  'a little at a time'...

Full Disclosure: I am NOT a great housekeeper,  but having grown up with a parent that was a

 hoarder, I like things to have a place and the house to be ''lived'' in clean.

Getting things back in order, and making $boarding call decisions/reservations$ for the little 'darlings' because I'll be gone again at the end of June and for a longer period of time the end of August. I'll also be tapping into the 'ol Pet Sinking funds account 😉. Mr for sure will not like it, but I for one can NOT & will NOT come home to this 

again.....

Wordless Wednesday

On the brink of defeat...So, Much, To-Do this week.

I am so disappointed of the shape & condition my house is.

Thursday Thoughts

 

Thought I did well with my Kroger savings....

Thought my Iris' were looking Good!

Thought I needed to hurry up and get out of the park when 5 busloads of kids showed up.

Garden Club + Winner

 

What I see out my backdoor...

No Noon Day Bible Study today as I have the Garden Club Derby Luncheon today,

As good as it's gonna get for today...

Lots of Great Hats for Derby... [I don't normally wear hats]

Luncheon today was held at Beaumont Inn, historic & fabulous!

I forgot to take a pic of the food which was delish!

However, I won one of the beautiful table decorations because I had a blue feather under my chair!

Gorgeous arrangement to say the least, there are so many talented women in this group,

however, with 5🐈 darlings there is no way I can take this home and besides I'm leaving for Flying Pig on Friday---👀EeeeK👀 so excited! Instead, I took them to the 'kid' to enjoy at her office.

Once home I changed into work clothes and mowed the front yard, side & back yard will have to wait until I get back...Fixing dinner and spending some quality time with the Mr has higher priority.

Later.....!!
