Happy Homemaker Monday

Our beautiful hostess is Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

{The Weather}
It is looking like we are going to have a beautiful week!  I will be getting outside a lot this week.

{Right Now I Am}
Listening to the traffic outside.  The kids are in their rooms quietly working on cleaning.  OR supposed to I should say!

{Thinking}
That being a landlord is NOT for us.  It has created a huge mess of our finances.  We finally got an offer on our house.  BUT this is not without problems.  We have a lot of money we need to come up with in a short amount of time!

{On My Reading Pile}
With all the stress regarding our finances I've been reading the bible more than normal.

{What I Found While Surfing the Net}
There has not been a lot of surfing lately.

{On My TV}
Emergency!
Waltons
Little House on the Prairie

{On the Menu this Week}
Since we have to save every penny we have to pay off bills our meals will be very light.  We have a lot of lettuce so there will be salads. We have a ton of zucchini so we will also be having that. 

{On My To Do List}
Since I will be home a lot in the coming weeks  I will be starting a bunch of projects here. 

{In the Craft Basket}
I'll be picking up my crochet again.  Hopefully I remember how to do it.  It has been ages since I picked up any hooks.  I might also re-learn knitting.

{Looking Forward to this Week}
Just having a quiet week at home

{Looking Around the House}
My gardens really need some attention.

{From the Camera}
Andrew and Katrina's boyfriend having a cannonball competition.  We had such a wonderful weekend while he was visiting.  He is a great guy!

{On My Prayer List}
Us and the sale of our house
Our Church
Family and Friends going through a lot
Our small community has been shaken to the core.  3 young adults were killed in a horrible car accident.  Our community might be down right now but we will brush ourselves off and once again rise to the top.

{Bible Verse, Devotional}
"I want you to discipline your mind to minimize worry and maximize worship. This will require much ongoing effort, but you’ll find that it is a path to freedom. When you realize you’re thinking about something at the wrong time—a worrisome thought at a time when you can do nothing about it—take swift action. Tell yourself, 'Not now!' and direct your mind elsewhere. The best direction for your thinking is toward Me." -Jesus Today by Sarah Young, p. 176
