Happy Homemaker Monday ~ May 8

Hello ladies, 

I'm still getting back in the habit of writing these Monday posts. I'll pretty them up a bit when I finish with school. ~smile~ I probably won't sub much more this year. I'm on the schedule for half a day this Thursday and one day next week. 

The weather... Sunny and hot and humid. I cannot believe I was cold last week.

Right now I am... Tired. I subbed in a special ed class for kids with autism and behavior disorders today. 

Thinking... I would really like to read a bit tonight.

On my reading pile...

• Ezekiel from The Bible
• In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer ~ for review
• The Unexpected Light of Thomas Alva Edison by Raymond Arroyo ~ for review
• Turtle Finds His Talent ~ for review
• Homespun Devotions Volume 2 ~ by Cheryl Smith
• At Home with Madame Chic ~ by Jennifer Scott
• Mere Christianity ~ by C.S. Lewis

Favorite blog post last week... A Little Blog Reading from The Archive

Something fun to share... 

I wrote this off for my daughter this week. 

Blog hopping... I like Living from Glory to Glory by Roxy

On the menu for this week... 

• Monday ~ salad and quesadillas
• Tuesday ~ We'll each be away from home and will eat out
• Wednesday ~ beef stew
• Thursday ~ I'm not sure yet. We're going to try EveryPlate. I have a girlfriend who really likes it and has used it for over a year. Our box should arrive Thursday. I'll let you know what we think. If you want to try it too, you can use this link to get a big discount. 
• Friday ~ I'm not sure. It's my birthday, and my husband will take care of it. I do know my grown kids have been invited over for cake.

On my to do list... Do I have to think about it? I've been working on to do list after to do list recently. I'm going to maintain the house this week and think about a to do list for next week. 

In the craft basket...  knitting and a bit of hand quilting on my daughter's quilt. My husband's grandmother pieced it and gave it to me to finish. It's been challenging. She used lots of scraps, and some of them had polyester blended with cotton. They're hard to get a hand needle through.

Looking forward to this week... My birthday is Friday. My husband has invited me to lunch at our favorite place, Red Onion. I'm looking forward to French onion soup, bruchetta, and a piece of their Italian cream cake. Super yum!

Looking around the house... It looks great. We cleaned up after having company last night. It was nice to come home to a clean house. 

From the camera... 

My little boy who grew up to be a lawman.

On my prayer list... Salvation, healing, financial provision.

Bible verse, Devotional... In honor of Mother's Day, "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her." Proverbs 31:28

Now, just a note. I don't really like the way I've got this set up. I'm going to look back on how I've done it in the past.  So, you can expect this to look a little different over the next few weeks. Right now, I'm just trying to get myself writing again.

Have a terrific week,

Laura
