**As I look out my window.....
The sun is brightly shining on the forest in our backyard. It is letting us know it will be another hot one!
**Right now I am....
Trying to get my bearings. I woke up too many times last night and so it threw me off my morning routine. I am trying to get myself going.
**Thinking and Pondering....
To be honest I had a lot of things I wanted to accomplish today and it is much later than anticipated when I woke up due to my lack of sleep. I am trying to decide the flow of the day. I am also pondering and thinking on implementing better eating because I haven't been doing the best with that and I am feeling it.
**How am I feeling....
I just feel blessed and peaceful. I have this amazing source (Jesus) and He calms all my fears and worries.
**On the Breakfast plate....
Coffee!! Normally, I eat a good breakfast but due to my late wake up time I decided to skip.
**On the Lunch plate.....
More than likely if I eat it will be a delish sandwich. It is so hot here and I like light cool food this time of year.
**On the dinner plate....
I am going to be having dinner out with a dear friend. She has been down with Covid and she is now feeling much better and so we will have some catch up time and let her get out of the house. My husband is traveling and my kids are all doing other things so it is a great time to have dinner with a friend.
**What I am wearing....
Jammies but about to get dressed for the day. A loose white cool shirt and skirt is on the plan
** What I am reading....
*The Well-Watered Woman by Grechen Saffles (I am halfway finished)
*A Life of Prayer
*I am studying and slowly digesting 2 Peter in the Bible
**What I am watching....
*Shark Week is on my plan this week.
*Downtown Abbey Movies (2019 & 2022)
My Favorite Youtube homemaking vlogs (Davee Kilian, Old World Home, This Bashful Life, and In the Kitchen with Mel)
**On the Menu...
Our menu will look very different this week (common in summer) my husband flew out for work at 4 AM this morning and my youngest son is at nana's for a visit.
Monday- Dinner out with my dear friend Tammy
Tuesday- Toasted Sandwiches and fruit bc it will be just my daughter and I
Wednesday- Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad with rolls
Thursday- Poppyseed Chicken Casserole, Green Beans, Rolls
Friday- Date Night
Saturday- Leftovers/frozen pizza (My husband is never home on Saturday evenings and doesn't eat dinner because he prepares for his sermon at this time. The kids and I just help ourselves typically. Plus, my kids all work and usually eat on their own time.
Sunday-?
**Looking around the house....
I see work I need to do, but if I really look I see beauty of the bible sitting on the coffee table that my husband always forgets to put up but it reminds me how thankful I am He reads.
**To do list the week....
*Do a nice thorough clean of each room
*Work on homeschool planning
*Clean my car in and out
*Do bills and checkbook
*Do church deposit (I am a pastor's wife and do the bookkeeping)
*Make a master list of things I need to do before homeschool begins
*Work on photo plans. I have ordered prints for 2021-until now and deciding if I want to do albums or scrapbooks
*Check Hannah's list for missions and order anything needed for Brazil
**From the Camera....
Our Rose bush is hanging in there. This heat hasn't been the best for this bush for some reason this year. I just love how intricate and beautiful roses are.
**Devotional....
"The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."
~James 5:16
Keep praying!!!

Good morning. Thanks for your comment on my blog. I just read it. Nice blog you have. I planted two plants in pots after it was somewhat cooler after Megan and I watched a shark 🦈 week show. Roku TV we can watch it any time this week. I'm need get shopping done early as it's 99 degrees today. At least we have air conditioning. I need to get some more areas cleaned as well. I have too much paperwork atmy desk. Blah! 😔 have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteHello! We also have roku so we started earlier watching it. I am thankful we have air conditioning. Praise the Lord. I hope you have a fantastic week. Thank you for visiting me. :)
DeleteIt's very nice to meet you and visit your lovely blog. The flower is gorgeous and I like your plans for the week. I need to do more cleaning while it's too hot to be outside as much. Enjoy your day and dinner out! Hugs, Diane

DeleteI am so happy you are back. I missed you. Love your sweet spirit.
ReplyDeleteHey there!!! Thank you so much!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Jodi! I appreciate you stopping by!
DeleteHello lovely new Friend! I pray your heat lets up - and your roses thrive (so beautiful!). Jesus is my source and strength too and love knowing a fellow sister in this world 🤗 I hope you enjoy your dinner with your friend and have a great time! I loved the Downton Abbey movies and the series. I want to just jump in and live there and wear those clothes! Lol Blessings. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello Carrie!!! Oh, I would love to live in that time too!!!! I appreciate you for commenting and for visiting me. I love your blog. I actually spent a while there yesterday!!!
DeleteHi Chrissy. I am a new follower of your blog coming over from Billie Jo's blog. Nice to meet you. I always enjoy Happy Homemaker Monday posts! You have a lovely family. I hope you have a good week. I am sure I will be back to visit again soon!
ReplyDeleteHey Deb!!!! Thank you so much for following me and for commenting!!! I love Billie Jo. I hope to see you again soon. :)
DeleteHello, my lovely friend! It sure is hot, isn't it?! We really need rain here in Pennsylvania. Your blog is so nice! So happy to see you here! Have a cozy evening!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you and I are connected again. Occasionally through the years I popped on your blog to see if you were okay. :) We need rain here sooo much too!!! I love ya friend!!
DeleteHi Chrissy! Thanks for stopping at my blog today.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful family!
I live in Michigan where it was hot last week (in the 90's) but we had big storm over the weekend and today it was in the 70's. We had our windows open to let in some nice fresh air.
Being a pastor's wife is a big job, along with raising a family and home schooling! I give you a lot of credit, I think home schooling is such a good thing. We have a lot of families in our church who home school, and they also meet at church for some classes together.
Hope you had a great time with your friend,
Mari,
DeleteHello! Thank you for visiting. A pastor's wife is a lot! We also are church planters so we started the church ground up for our church organization in a community. It was just our family and it has grown so I do a lot of roles that some pastor's wives do not do in a traditional since because we are limited with help. I am so thankful though. But you are right it is very hard at times. Homeschool as well can be tough. But I am thankful for Jesus' strength. I wish we had a big storm. LOL! We need one. We need rain so much. :)
Hi Chrissy, so glad you jumped in and joined our Happy Homemaker Monday feature. Glad to have you :)
ReplyDeleteThis summer heat is making us all cranky, I would love a good day or two of rain to quench the earth.
So wonderful that you are a Pastor's wife. My husband is retired Air Force and still works as an instructor on base, but he is about to take his last class in his Master's Degree in Christian Ministry. So exciting!!!
Have a blessed week,
Sandra

Hey Sandra,
DeleteThat is exciting for your husband and you as well. It is for sure a unique calling. I am thankful for it but there are times it can be hard. But that is life in general, right?
I am being honest this heat has me cranky!!! LOLOL!
Looks fun
