Happy Home-Maker Monday 6/23/14

This weekend marked the official beginning of Summer. So far this summer has actually been mild for Arkansas in June. It is usually so hot its unbearable but we have barely even seen 90 degree temps. We spent all weekend in the pool! What a way to celebrate the beginning of summer. Even though I had no idea it was the official start until I seen another bloggers post about it. Thank you for the reminder. 

It is another Monday so therefore another Happy Home Maker hosted by Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. You can catch her blog HERE

Now onto it we go! 
As I look outside my window I do not see much lol. I am actually sitting in my bedroom and the window is blacked out. But I have been outside today and it is an overcast day and the weather is calling for a slight chance of rain. 
Right now I am typing up this post(that is a given) eating on some Vienna Sausages and cheddar cheese. I am not really hungry I just have to make sure that I do eat. After all I am now carrying precious cargo! I am also chatting on facebook and venting about my problem causing mother in law. Or might as well be my mother in law. She is not legally. 
Thinking and Pondering on whether or not I should write a letter to someone who needs to hear a few things. I do not know if it would make it worse or better or just be ignored. I guess it is worth a try. 
On my bedside table is my pepsi, the only one of the day. 
On my t.v. this week is nothing really I guess. Eric(my s/o) always has control over the t.v. so its always Big Bang Theory on every night at 6. After that its left up in the air. I know last night he watched Halt and Catch Fire. I think Wednesday is Duck Dynasty. I am also busy with my son in therapy until around 7:30 every night. Not much t.v. watching for me. 
I am listening to my kids friend. He has been here since Saturday and I do not think the boy shuts up...Ever!
On the menu for this week, hamburger and chicken. What goes along with we are yet to figure that one out. 
On my to do list..I have an appointment Friday, clean house, laundry..The normal I guess. I need to find a project to work on. Maybe concentrate on my blog and stuff like I said I would do a couple of weeks ago and have failed. 
Happening this week is an ultrasound of the baby Friday to make sure everything is on track. I will be a little over 6 weeks. I am hoping for good news.
I am creating nothing so far besides a life.
Looking around the house I see boys on the x-box..Thats it. My dogs are hiding in the bedroom with me lol. Got to love my girls. The only ones in the house besides myself.
From the camera these are taken over the weekend. My baby boy loves the swimming pool. 






How did ya'll bring in the summer?

Bloglovin' Issue? No Meltdowns At the Display

One of the hardest things I have discovered about blogging is not the writing one or coming up with a subject (there are plenty of hops out there that help with this) but its the coming up with a title. So I do apologize if my titles are somewhat cheesy but I just try to give it a small summary on the subject.

Anyway I have started using bloglovin' a lot more lately but have realized that my blogs are not being updated there? I have searched the FAQ page and can not find a solution. My RSS feed is valid so I have no idea. I emailed customer support days ago and still have heard nothing. Anyone else experiencing any of these issues or know what to do about it?

Our Fourth of July was a pretty good day. Started out normal and slow but that is the way a mother likes it. Most of the time. My SO (significant other) and I got into the pool for awhile and it was nice to play around and relax in there just him and I. It was to cold to bring out Logan. 


We all ate dinner then went off to a fireworks display. Logan enjoyed his time at the park but he was not a fan of the fireworks. 

I had to keep his eyes covered the entire time or he got upset. On the brightside, no meltdowns. I don't know why he could not watch them or why they appeared scary to him. He may be to sensitive to those sort of lights?? I have no idea.  Any answers to the parents with autistic children??

The Eve of The 4th

Its the day before the big blow out!! Hope you all have better plans than we do. We will just be hanging out at home. Nothing special. Maybe make it a pool day. Spend all day in the pool, throw some chicken into the crockpot with bbq sauce and let it cook all day. Later in the night when it gets dark we will attend a fireworks display. I am hoping Logan will be able to handle it. It may be to loud for him though. His first year he slept through it. Last year I had to hold him the entire time and walk far away then he was okay. I guess we will be in for a surprise this year.

Today was just a normal day. Started off getting Logan ready for school and in order to get some cooperation I have to turn the t.v. on every morning. If I do not do this he cries the entire time. At least when the t.v. is on he will smile and let me get him dressed.
 Focused on that t.v.

I get my baby off to school and nap!! Best part of the day. Pretty much all I did besides the normal house work and taking a small minute to myself in the pool. 
Best investment I have made

Foot shot!

My honey should be home from work soon. My night will be complete when that happens. Tonight was also a leftover night. I don't like to cook much. 
Everyone enjoy your holiday!!

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
