Good Morning all :) Hope you've had a good weekend. Mine was pretty good, Jasmine worked Saturday so took her in and then had to go to AT&T to deal with our phone account and some things we had to take care of. Thankfully that went pretty well and didn't take much time, within 30 minutes we were done and on our way.
Our next stop was Walmart for a few items we needed, like milk, juice, I needed some orange thread for some sewing and a few 2 liter sodas. We really only have soda on the weekend, so it's a nice treat for us.
The rest of the weekend we were home, although Curt treated the kids and I to a nice dinner at Applebees last night. We don't go out to dinner very often, and when we do it's once in a blue moon and we actually save up for that, so it's always a nice treat and something we look forward to.
So last week Nick started getting a sore throat again and headache, he was not feeling well at all for about 3 days, then got better, but passed it on to Jasmine. She was so unwell for 3 days, had fever the first day and is now fine. Guess who got it now? Yep, me again. The whole head/sinus cold is back with a vengeance. I feel well overall, but the sinus thing is really frustrating, and my voice is croaky.
Anyway, I'm hoping to kick this real quick, seems to be going around again and only lasts about two to three days. Hopefully Curt avoids it.
Well let's get going and see what we have ahead for our week.
The Weather:::
We are enjoying quite warm weather, yesterday we hit 75, today and the next few days, we will be in the 70's too. How's that for a Texas winter?
Right now I am:
Watching a documentary on TV while working on this post. I've already made my bed and set my bedroom to order.
Thinking:
About my new crochet blanket, and wanting to just get it started but knowing that I have to get a lot of things done today before that can happen.
On my reading pile:::
Secrets at Cedar Cabin by Colleen Coble
On my tv:::
Just random vlogs on Youtube, I mainly watch Portuguese ones and love them.
Whatever is on the Firestick
Favorite Blog post this week (mine or other):::
I've been finding some really sweet blogs, you know the kind that remind me of the good ol' blogging days. Like minded woman, sweet ladies that share their daily lives and some of them do it in a fashion that is exactly like 12 or 13 years ago. What a breath of fresh air. One of the ones I've been enjoying catching up on, is A Stroll Thru Life.
Something fun to share:::
You all know how much I love Astronomy, and so this website that I'm about to share with you, gives you a new Astronomy picture each day. Well, it's Nasa's website, but yes, if you enjoy astronomy like I do, you will definitely enjoy this site.
On the menu for this week:::

On my to do list:::
Laundry - Have a comforter to wash, as well as the kid's laundry baskets. I'm going to take full advantage of this beautiful weather and hang clothes outside to dry
Homeschooling
Vacuum dining room
Bake Bread
Start new exercise routine - right, well I've been a little naughty with my eating and I'm feeling super sluggish, so I've decided to do Lucy's 7 day workout which is guaranteed to lose 1 to 2 dress sizes. Look, it's like 7 minutes out of my day, for 7 days straight, and I can start getting back on track. At my age, it's imperative that I take better care of my body.
What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Still working on the Buffalo Plaid Blanket, but really excited to start something new today. I'll share with you all tomorrow.
Looking around the house:::
It's super quiet. The sun is shining brightly through the windows and giving everything a beautiful orange glow.
The house is clean, there really is nothing much to do other than the laundry and vacuuming the dining room. I vacuumed the rest of the house yesterday.
Kids are still fast asleep, hubby is at work and Marley is sleeping on the couch.
From the camera:::
Love my baby boy :)
On my prayer list:::
Many friends and family who are dealing with health issues.
My husband, he is currently going through the VA medical stuff, and if you've gone through it or your husbands have, you know how overwhelming and frustrating it can all be.
Bible verse, Devotional:::
I just have to go back to my all time favorite verse, which is 1 Peter 5:7.
