Homemaker's Journal: Monday, April 24, 2017

Last week was busy and productive. This week, I hope to be just as productive but spend less time going from place to place. I am most happy and relaxed when I'm in the comfort of my home.

THE WEATHER THIS WEEK...

Current temperature is 60 degrees and and it will be raining all day. It was in the low 50's when we woke up so I turned the fireplace on for the kids. By the end of the week, the temperatures should be back up to the 80's and 90's.

AROUND THE HOME...

Chaos. We were gone over the weekend and the house did not get tidied up before or after we came home. While I had loaded the dishwasher last night, I forgot to turn it on, so that is now running this morning. Nothing like starting a new week and already being behind.

AGENDA FOR TODAY...

We purchased desks and bookcases from IKEA on Saturday and were able to put them together. Now I have everything piled on to a work table to be put it its proper place. My day will consist of organizing everything in the room while making sure my 7-year-old completes her school work. The television is on to keep the boys occupied.

A PEEK INTO MY WEEKEND...

We took our littlest one with us to IKEA while the older two spent the night with my parents. It was fun to have some quality time with this kid. 

A FAVORITE QUOTE FOR TODAY...

ON THE MENU...

No meal plan this week as I was unable to make it to the grocery store over the weekend. I should be able to manage a couple of days with what I have in the pantry and the freezer and go to the grocery store mid-week.

PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...

T-ball practice has been cancelled this evening due to rain. Later in the week we have another t-ball practice and dance classes. We were able to plant corn on Saturday evening after we got home but still have more vegetables to plant. I will need to wait for a day that it is not raining so that we can finish planting our garden. This week will hopefully be less chaotic than last week, and I hope to be spending most of our days at home.
