What's going on this week? Surviving...hubby is traveling in Germany this week. Preteen is being well a preteen. Thankful I have my oldest to help out. We have the usual...school, swim team, church (I have choir and praise team practice on Wednesdays)...first swim meet Saturday morning!
What's the weather like in your area? Sunny upper 80s/low 90s...occasional thunder storms What's on the menu this week? not sure...whatever the older one decides to help cook. I went out with a friend last night, Sunday we did fried shrimp, green beans and rolls...tonight may be spaghetti or salmon Anyone doing anything fun? or is work and life as usual? like I said surviving my week with out hubby. Oh I am fighting a squirrel that has been eating off my bird feeder. We tried sprinkling garlic and hot pepper flakes but he doesn't seemed fazed. We are going to try some hot bird seed next that is supposed to deter the squirrels. These are Texas squirrels though...I think they like it spicy! LOL A story for the week...Preteen got in trouble for being mouthy and giving me attitude. I took his cell for the night. Well, he didn't like that at all. I went into my room to put it up and gather myself. I shut the door and heard a bang then my oldest yelling what did you do? I came out to RED GATORADE everywhere. He had hurled a bottle at me but it hit a wall on the way to my door and shattered the top. Gatorade went on the walls, carpet, down the back of the TV etc...EVERYWHERE. I was not happy at all!! We took the TV apart to dry...thankful it was a zero sugar so no sticky but a mess...He thankfully apologized and we talked about proper ways to handle anger and talking about our feelings, taking time outs etc. He has had a decent 2 days. He did get sick last night but that seems to be a let down from 2 days of heavy emotions and behavior. He has been super polite and nice with no phone, tv, video games etc...

What's going on this week?
Having a shopping day with a friend tomorrow and finally(!) getting my hair trimmed and colored on Thursday! I waited a little too long to make the appointment and I need to get this grey out soon!! What's the weather like in your area? The weather here in northern IL has been perfect -upper 70's mid 80's with zero humidity! What's on the menu this week? Ha! We usually wing it everyday - each morning the magic question is "what do you want for dinner?" lol. It's usually something quick and easy ... hamburgers / salad - steak / salad - or sometimes "fend for yourself"! Anyone doing anything fun? or is work and life as usual? Getting geared up for our 10 day anniversary trip to the mountains in NC in June.

What's going on this week? I just returned to the Philippines after being gone for a whole year! So far, my week has been filled with unpacking and shopping for all the things that broke or mildewed while we were gone. (I don't know why we thought pillows would be usable after spending a year in a closet in an unairconditioned house in the tropics!)
What's the weather like in your area? Like being in a sauna with the heat turned to "survival unlikely." What's on the menu this week? My kids want Filipino food, but if I'm being honest, there will probably be a lot of take out. Anyone doing anything fun? or is work and life as usual? Being back is super fun to me, even if I'm just running around bleeding money! Here's a pic of my girl with her cat; I don't know which one of them was the happiest to see the other. That cat hasn't left her side since we got back. : )

What's going on this week?
We have standardized testing today and tomorrow - we are homeschoolers and it's not required for our state, but my 16yr loves these types of tests. He also has prom tonight - on a Tuesday and has testing tomorrow... he said he won't stay long. Otherwise trying to finish up school year so we can start our summer lessons. What's the weather like in your area? Lovely - it's in the upper 70s into the low 80's. No humidity. I wish this was the weather all summer! The birds are driving me nuts. Since 2020 we have had soooo many birds - yet my mom who lives .5mile away has like none. These aren't normal birds... we have "Karen" a Robin who is not scared of people and will squawk telling you exactly why she has a problem with you - her nest is under our deck. Now we have Bob and Bev Bickerson - two grackles that sit on the fence and one will just yap, yap, yap at the other one... then the male will move down a few feet and the female will follow, still yapping. They just had twins, we call them Bobby and Betty... one yap, yap, yaps at their sibling and the sibling just sits there, staring off into space. What's on the menu this week? Whatever Six Sisters tells me - I use their menu plans with Fed and Fit. Anyone doing anything fun? or is work and life as usual? Getting ready for camping Memorial Weekend - we had our shake down trip last weekend to see what we are missing (we unload almost everything as our RV is stored over winter and don't want mice to get into it all). And I'm trying to get our curriculum ready for summer... but little motivation to do so.

What's going on this week? This week is so busy but so fun! Sunday we went to a town called Grand Haven on Lake Michigan for their annual kite festival. It is always a good time! There were choreographed kite performances and lots of varieties of kites flying on the beach. And it's on the beach, so win-win! Monday night was high school graduation for my oldest. It was a really nice ceremony and all the feels!! Last night was my youngest's spring concert. It's my fave concert of the year because the teacher lets the kids pick the songs so we actually know them! And the kids seem to sing with so much more enthusiasm when they like the songs. His group picked Viva la Vida by Coldplay, Country Roads by John Denver and I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys. And then Friday, I get to help chaperone the 8th grade choir field trip to Chicago. I can't wait! We're going to the Museum of Science and Industry, the Zoo, Navy Pier and Giordano's for lunch (deep dish pizza) and then to see Aladdin before coming home.
What's the weather like in your area? Beautiful! 60s/70s for a few days and dry. What's on the menu this week? Busy week = a lot of takeout. Anyone doing anything fun? or is work and life as usual? So much fun this week! I love the busy weeks but I'll be looking forward to a little quieter week next week so I can start prepping for the grad party.

What's going on this week? End of my son's sophomore year.
What's the weather like in your area? Much hotter than it should be this early. It was 93 degrees yesterday which broke the record high. It's like August temps in May. What's on the menu this week? Um...I was just thinking about this. I need to grocery shop soon. Thinking of ordering Indian tomorrow cause that always lasts us a couple of days. Anyone doing anything fun? or is work and life as usual? I want to do something fun this weekend but my kiddo is going to a bunch of friends' graduation parties. |
