Happy Homemaker Monday: March 5, 2018

Good afternoon, friends! It's been an odd weekend. My Dad went back into the hospital, with more vomiting and nausea. We found out that his cancer has returned. He is ready to fight, thank goodness, but I know he's having a rough time.
Please include Dad in your prayers. That said, HHM is definitely helping to keep me sane. 

Breakfast Time, what's on the plate: I guess I should say right now that stress and I are not friends, and that the first thing to go when I'm stressed out is my appetite. So, nothing.

On today's to-do list: Work. Clean. Exist.

Currently Reading: My Bible. I finished "Paper Roses" over the weekend, and now I'm waiting anxiously for the next book in the series.

On the TV: I started watching "Retribution" on Netflix, but goodness, that was some dark subject matter. As a loss parent, seeing a pregnant woman get murdered...oh, it did something to me. Instead I'm watching "Girls Incarcerated" and re-watching The Great British Baking Show.

The weather outside is: Bipolar. It's supposed to be nice today, decent tomorrow, and then boom, 30's with teens as nighttime lows. What is going on, NC?

On the menu this week: Bear with me here, friends, as I try my best to actually cook for my family in the midst of this insanity. While I cannot guarantee that certain meals will fall on certain days, I will tell you that today, before I leave for work, I will throw a few seared cube steaks into the crockpot with mushroom gravy and small potatoes. At some point this week, we will have a meatloaf casserole, a "catch whatever can be caught/leftover/whatever" day, and a spaghetti squash, as well as chicken tacos and breakfast for dinner.

If I get a few minutes to myself, I will probably: Cry. Or read. Or both, ya know, multitasking. Or sleep. Both of my girls have the cold, and I fear I am next.

What I am creating this week: At the moment, nothing. I'm focusing on keeping my sanity. Maybe I need to break out the sketchbook?

New Recipe I tried or want to try: I made beef curry over the weekend. I love Indian Food, and I have no idea how I went over 30 years without every trying it. Goodness!

Favorite photo from the camera this week: 

My youngest turned 9 months last Wednesday. We took some pictures outside. Yes, Ella has blue in her hair :)

Have a beautiful week, and stay well my friends!
