Happy Homemaker Monday

Happy Monday, everyone! Today is my day "off", which of course means I'm way more busy than I am when I'm at work. I've been repotting strawberries all morning and battling with caterpillars which are eating my strawberry leaves. Gah.

Anyway, let's get on with it!!!!

The Weather In My Neck of The Woods:  Right now, it's cold and cloudy, but it's supposed to be beautiful on Halloween and the day before, yay!

On my bedside table: A flurry of coupons, a small arrangement of silk flowers, pen and paper, Kindle.

Things that make me happy: Welll...I can finally announce it here. We're bringing home another kitty...Magpie, aka Mags, aka The Pie. She's coming home tomorrow. Before the end of the year, I'll have two more announcements to make...neither of them about cats...but both requiring prayers...so...pray, please? :)

On my to-do list: Preparing the house for the arrival of The Pie, delivering a bunch of strawberry plants to Yellow Mountain offices (they do so much for people who are differently abled!)

On the menu for this week: 
Monday: Jambalaya
Tuesday: Potato Soup
Wednesday: Ramen Stir Fry
Thursday: Stuffed Pepper Casserole
Friday: Breakfast for dinner
Saturday: Halloween!!! Ghost Pizza :)
Sunday: Spaghetti

What I am creating at the moment: Mine and Ella's Halloween costumes. Also, being creative with living room space, because I inherited an insane amount of plants from a friend. Wish me luck!

Looking around the house: The jungle is shaping up!!!

Prayer Requests: My Mom and Dad, my kid brother. Also, the family of a sweet boy named Nash. Nash died this week in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Two unspoken requests of mine (I'll say something when I can)

Lesson Learned: Listen to everyone who approaches you. You don't know the story they could tell you. As I was printing leaves yesterday evening, a very sweet man from England told me the story of his daughter. If I had dismissed him after our first interaction (in which he looked at me like I was a crazy person), I would have never been able to help him.

From the Camera:  
You'll have to excuse the dirt on my hands, I had opened my mail right after repotting strawberries. The beautiful ribbon came from a lovely lady named Tracy. I will wear it proudly in memory of her son, JJ. 

Devotionals, Scriptures, Key Verses:

  2. Isn't it always the way? Busier on days off! I don't work outside the home right now but it does seem when hubby is off I'm busier! LOL Another sweet kitty! We're happy to have our cat back after she got out for 5 months. All the best in whatever is going on unspoken for you...

  6. I like your lesson learned. I've been so blessed when I listen to people, even the crazy looking ones, and I walk away wondering what could have been when I'm too busy to bother.
