Happy HomeMaker Monday 6/28/14 Edition

It is Monday once again and I have failed to post throughout last week. But that is okay. I will make up for it...Or will I? 

Today I am joining in over at Diary Of A Stay at Home Mom for the Happy Homemaker Monday post: 


Breakfast time: Well I am not pointing fingers but someone was not up in time for any breakfast activities. My breakfast is Pepsi. The older boys can fend for themselves and the little one had pop-tarts. He could not wait to get those in his hands yesterday when we went to the grocery store. 

On Todays To Do List: Participate in Logans ABA therapy, gets some blogging done and maybe jump in the pool for a bit. 

The weather outside: HOT HOT HOT!! I live in Arkansas so its HOT--To be fair my weatherbug says it is only 83 outside at the moment and it is noon thirty. We are expecting it to hit 90. Arkansas summers are usually unbearable but this summer has been kind of mild. 

On the Menu this week: Am I a slacker because I do not like to cook? My Mr. Sexy(found this label on another bloggers post so I am stealing it) does most of the cooking. I like to cook in the winter..I am a crock pot addict. Anyway I know we are having stuffed pepper tonight and then Beans from my parents garden Tuesday night. Wednesday I am thinking we might go out to eat somewhere. We hardly ever do that. It would be a nice change. The rest of the week we have NO idea. We need to go grocery shopping by then. 

If I have a few minutes to myself I will: Blog of course or do some crocheting. I had been working on a blanket for the baby that we were expecting but since the miscarriage I have not picked it back up. I think I will work on it this week. It will be Logans blanket if he wants it. He carries one around with him everywhere he goes anyway so maybe he would choose this one to carry. 


In the garden: Tomatoes are still not ripening on our vines and my cucumbers look pitiful. I just dont think we have the right dirt here for it. But on the other end, my parents garden...Its abundant in produce. 

Favorite Photo from Camera:
Logan dove into this ice cream on Saturday. He has never ever even had an interest in ice cream before!! We were so proud of him. Whether he does this again we shall see!!

A Rainy Happy Homemaker Monday

It is the beginning of a new week and hope all my readers had a fabulous weekend. Our weekend was pretty plane and boring due to the fact of the rain, rain and oh, MORE RAIN! I am ready for some sunshine and drying out time. My yard is a swamp and my drive is a mud pit. Its just nasty out there. 

Anyways I am joining up with Diary of A Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday. Feel free to browse and join in as well. As always new followers and sweet comments are welcome. 

As I look outside my window:
Well right now there is not any rain but it gloomy and cloudy. Enough to disgust you. 

Right now I am:
Trying to make amends where they need to be and not hold grudges against others. Life it to short to stay mad all the time or to let that idiotic person get on my last nerves. 

Thinking and pondering:
Trying to come up with creative ways to avoid meltdowns when its time for Logan to give up his IPAD. I have been setting a timer and he can see it and when time is up its "my turn". The first time worked well. He got mad but handed it right to me then ran off to his room to have a fit for 5 minutes then came out to play. The second time he tried to put more time on the timer when I showed him he only had 15 minutes left. Then when it was "my turn" he went into a total tantrum. RIGHT NOW daddy is playing ball with him and working on signing for "ball"



On my bedside table
As always my clipboard for taking notes and my crossword puzzle book

On my t.v. this week:
Since it is the summer its all re-runs so we have no t.v. schedule set up. Every night at 6 we watch an hour of Big Bang Theory and maybe the news. That is the only thing set in stone at the moment. The Walking Dead can not be here soon enough. 

Listening to:
The news is on t.v. and they are saying something about higher milk prices. Tell me about it! We need a cow in our backyard. $4.50 for a gallon of milk. Just ridiculous.

On the menu:
HAHA I do not really plan out our meals. I am not the cook anyways. One thing I know I do want this week is a good pot roast. That will come Thursday, maybe.
Find the recipe that I will be using HERE


On my to do list:
Tons of things!! Mainly this week I want to focus on my blog for once. I want to look into more ways to get it out there and noticed as well as trying to figure out these html codes. I need some more gadgets and stuff. If I can stay concentrated on it this week. I am hoping but I do get distracted easily. 

Happening this week:
Logans ABA therapy starts all over this week. His consultant had everything totally messed up. We are starting fresh and I am so excited to see what new things are going to happen and how it will happen. 

What I am creating:
I think this goes along with on my to do list. Refer to that :-)

My simple pleasure:
I love eating in bed watching t.v. I have not been able to do that in awhile. 

Looking around the house:
Dogs are playing, kid is crying, older kid on the computer and my house is pretty darn clean if I say so myself :-)

Happy Homemaker Monday

I found a new link up. It is called Happy Homemaker Monday! Seems like fun. So if your looking for something to blog about on Mondays this seems great! 
I have had a busy beginning of the month with moving and getting Logan into his new school with new therapists so I have slacked in my blogging once again. Something always seems to get in the way. 
I had to put Logan to bed already, I have ate dinner that I cooked for just me and maybe my fiance whenever he gets home from work. So I have free time and decided why not try to blog for once since its been so long since I have. 

Happy Homemaker Monday

The Weather--It is hot and humid. What do you expect? It is June in Arkansas. So happy I actually got a swimming pool this year. First time ever. I have never owned one nor did I even get the pleasure of growing up with one. We were lucky if we even visited the creek twice a year. Probably a huge part of why I do not know how to swim. 

Right Now I Am--Sitting on my couch with my laptop on the coffee table, digesting my wonderful dinner and drinking my cold pepsi waiting for some certain show to come on t.v. and of course waiting for my fiance to come home. The highlight of my nights. 

Thinking--So I am thinking how many people will actually read this and be interested. Since I have slacked off in the blogging world when I do post I get hardly any views. I need to discipline myself to post more often. I have been saying it for almost 2 years now and never seem to follow through with it. 

On My Reading Pile--I have been wanting to re-read the hunger games. I remember the first well, I never finished the last couple of chapters in the third book but I can not seem to remember the second one very well. Not like I can the fist and the movie is supposed to come out in November if I am not mistaken and I am ready. I guess I should finish the the last book before going back. 

On My T.V.-- At this very second it is The Big Bang Theory. I am waiting patiently for the premier of Under The Dome, a Steven King creation. 

What I Found While Surfing The Net--I come across all kinds of things all the time. Mainly I am on facebook. I guess you could say that I am addicted. But because of the pages I like I come across some pretty interesting thing. For example I follow a page called Stop Discrimination Against Special Needs it is very inspiring. Personal stories are posted and questions are asked and answered by a variety of individuals. You should check it out.

On The Menu For This Week--Tonight I had twice baked potato casserole (yummy yummy)
Tomorrow Leftovers possibly?? hard decisions because we also have chicken salad left over
Wednesday will more than likely be another left over night
Thursday I may put on a pot of black eyed peas
Friday I have no idea at the moment. 

On My To Do List--What isnt it seems. I need to pick up kids sometime this week, Wednesday I will. Get my son ready for his school everyday this week. He does not have a summer vacation for his day-habilitation. 
Looking Forward To This Week--The weekend, always the weekend. For the simple fact that I can be with my fiance without him going to work. Yes we sound sickening in love dont we?

Looking Around The House--I cleaned today so there is nothing out of sorts. Of course I clean everyday. Only thing out of place is one of Logans trucks laying in the middle of the living room floor. 

From The Camera--New pool, new photo opportunities



On My Prayer List--Everyone
Bible Verse--( I am not a very religious person, I keep my faith to myself and honestly I dont have any verses off the top of my head) I am so sorry if this causes any issues. My son has a really cute one painted on his bedroom wall though
