Homemaker Saturday 12/13

I know, I know, this is supposed to be a Monday post, but mine will have to remain Saturday posts for now.  I am a full time wife and mom with a full time career outside of my house as well as the full time job within my walls.   My heart is always with my family whether I am home full time or part time.  I have been blessed with seasons of being home full time (my preference) and am now in a season of working full time outside of the home.  Both have their ups and downs and pros and cons.  We live a busy life and I love to make the weekends peaceful and family centered as much as possible.  The reality is that there is a lot of catch up going on....

Welcome to my crazy life!
 
The weather outside is.....Pretty warm for December.  It is in the 50's.  When I left to take Madison to her Christmas Cheer Party this morning I didn't even need a coat or to warm up the van.  This is my kind of winter weather :)
 
On the breakfast plate this morning... Just coffee with vanilla creamer so far.  I am not really hungry, it could be from dealing with sick kiddos.  One with strep and one the stomach flu.
 
As I look outside my window... It does look dreary but feels so nice.  If the sun was out it would be perfect.

 
As I look around the house... oh my.  I won't even tell you.  It is bad...very, very bad.

 
On today's to do list... Everything. But with sickies, none of it will probably happen. Lucy keeps asking me to just sit with her.

 
Currently reading... My devotionals.  I am going to start a new one I downloaded on my Kindle.  I will get back to you on the title.  I am not feeling the whole book thing right now, so I am reading short devotionals instead.

 
On the TV today... A lot of Disney Channel I am thinking :)

 
What I am creating at the moment...  I feel we are just creating a mess around here with the drop in and go that has been happening.

 
New recipe I tried or want to try this week... I found a recipe for crock pot mac and cheese that has cream cheese in it.  I will let you all know how it turns out.

 
Favorite photo from the phone or  the camera...
 
 
I only have one believer left in the house.  She is requesting a puppy.....
 

 
Prayers, Inspirational Quotes, or Devotionals....


Please pray that this sickness passes quickly from our home.  We have a lot of fun things planned for the next couple of weeks with the Holidays and some down time that I want everyone to be able to enjoy :)

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
