email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest the homemaker plans her week letting go of every plan did you ever have the feeling that the universe just waits for you to announce that you have a plan and then kicks it good and hard my whole plan to return to routine went off into the air at the end of last week when i learned that caleb will be starting school part time in two weeks time it s only for a half day but it does change things somewhat not an ill change mind you it s something i think caleb very much needs in order to be prepared for school this next year as well our plans to have millie over every thursday to play with caleb has gone kaput with caleb being gone so it s all changing already i told you all i could feel changes ahead and i suspect this is the tip of the iceberg so be it let the changes roll in and we ll just stand here and watch them come and adjust accordingly continue at october 23 2023 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest diary of a homemaker s week what monday i wasn t sure we d get to see taylor at all this weekend katie was about to head her way home on sunday for family lunch when her boyfriend noted that her tires were shot off she went to get new back tires they finally got here about 2pm caleb was very glad to see us and we were glad to see him of course we barely had time with them before they left to take taylor back to her daddy but a glimpse is better than nothing last night caleb asked john to sit with him in the bathroom while he bathed those two laughed and giggled and laughed for a good half hour all because of a silly rubber duck he d gotten over the weekend everything they did was funny to the other katie and i took advantage of the guys being busy to have a catch up chat i ve missed her as much as i have caleb and i m glad to have her back home once more but glad they had a chance to have such a pleasant week away as well continue at october 20 2023 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thrifty thursday new week new goals friday yesterday after i d sent off the thrifty thursday post i was sitting here in the quiet listening to the well shut on and off it seemed to be running over much i set the stopwatch on my phone and the doggone thing was coming on and going off every five minutes we weren t running any water anywhere in the house i looked online thankful yet again for the technology at our fingertips and there was no really concise answer about timing of a pump priming but i did manage to gather the impression that we were having well trouble again after two hours of timing i tapped john on the shoulder and said call roy i think we ve got well trouble continue at october 19 2023 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest ten things i plan to do starting now i ve been thinking a great deal lately always a sign that i am feeling it s time to change something because of costs efficiency etc i ve got a short list of things here that i plan to begin changing 1 stop buying cooking spray here of late most of the sprays i find are actually the mister can sorts of sprays they are the least expensive option also the most inefficient i find that they tend to let loose a squirt of oil instead of misting no matter how much you shake the stupid can and then the baked goods stick anyway even if you ve taken care to spread the stuff evenly about the pan it s also costly because it rarely lasts more than a few sprays continue at october 17 2023 18 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest the homemaker plans her week back to routine i ll be honest with you all if i d known how last week was going to run i d have taken time to go over and visit mama as it was i was working on the idea that katie and caleb would return any day and the days stretched out to the full week this week we should be back to regular routines i m just hopeful that we all settle right in without any adjustment issues i think caleb is in a much better place than he was this time last year and unlikely to be as emotionally undone by his week away or so i pray let me gather my thoughts and get to work planning my week work zone 3 is beds and baths i just cleared up katie and caleb s room as best i could on friday so nothing much is required there i d like to dust our bedroom this week and once again clear my dresser of unnecessary clutter i can move the accumulation of seeds and seed packets to the basket in the laundry area where i store those items routine cleaning is all i need do to both bathrooms but i do want to tackle my bathroom cabinets all are cluttered and crowded and there s excess in them that really is beginning to bug me no end i m done with it i think i can rearrange the top cabinet which we use as medicine storage in a better way the towels need to be sorted and folded neatly and stored away the bottom cupboard of that three tiered cabinet is filled paint cans paint brushes painting stuff i need to get rid of the almost empty cans and the shot paintbrushes etc it just needs to be done and if i have time aside from my other household duties this week i want to see if i can arrange the kitchen island cabinets in a better way it s simply not working for me i find myself frustrated too often i suspect i can declutter a few more items that will net me enough room for all i want to have out at present i don t think we have any appointments or other plans this week just all the routine things which is enough kitchen i never baked a thing last week i have the same list i had last week either apple pies or carrot cake i ll add bagels this week since john will likely have polished them off this weekend typing this out on friday afternoon and since i don t know if i ll get to the grocery no plans at present i ll likely make up some fancy muffins for my weekend breakfast by fancy i mean with streusel topping and all that sort of thing i think some apple muffins would be nice or perhaps that lovely mennonite cinnamon quick bread that i keep promising myself oh plans meals i made out a whole list of foods i was craving in august just waiting for cooler weather i think i ve made every one of them i would like to make another wish list of entrees i would like to make now the weather is cooler to each their own gramma s fried chicken mac n cheese cauliflower and broccoli casserole meatloaf italian peasant vegetables biscuits i have a listing on pinterest of six of seven meatloaf recipes i m going to choose one of those to try not sure just yet which one chicken cobbler peach salad tiktok red lobster cheddar bay biscuit dough tops this cobbler i kept thinking i needed to cook chicken for this meal but i m pretty sure i have a packet of chicken pot pie filling in the freezer i can use which will cut down on the pre prep cooking i feel like i need to add to this menu just not sure what i d add perhaps some type of extra vegetable perhaps butter beans i ll see what i have in the freezer chili rice salad cornbread ham with pineapple au gratin potatoes english peas rolls we have the ham and pineapple already in the freezer saved from a previous meal i ve got boxed au gratin potatoes all of this with an eye towards keeping the meal as simple as i can since i should have millie at least a good part of the day the rolls i ll make up fresh we go out for a meeting katie and caleb will likely go visit her friend so something leftover or something snacky personal leisure i ve recently added dry brushing to my shower routine i d done it in the past but my brush broke and i never picked up another until very recently so i m back at it it s supposed to be very beneficial to skin and the lymphatic system both i like that this is a natural system stimulant that doesn t require more pills minerals etc amazon associate affiliate link this week i want to take time to go out and buy the ingredients to make the homemade heavy duty moisturizing lotion for my skin with cooler weather coming in the heater running here and there i know that my skin will be dry i noticed this last year and this year i mean to be proactive with it i m also going to look into intermittent fasting do you know my greatest problem with it thus far has not been the process but the way the people who employ it have become nearly fanatical about it i don t want to be fanatical i do want to lose weight and from all i understand this is a healthy approach one that my doctor has mentioned to me in the past as something worth trying as well as being a good way to help control blood sugar overall john s admonished me to make sure i don t crap out as it refers to my blood sugar drops and i agree i want to work with this slowly and determine how this will work for me what i like about this method of eating is that it doesn t rely on cutting out food groups nor in limiting oneself in a stringent manner most of the people who do intermittent fasting still eat dessert have bread and butter put cream in their coffee etc they just have chosen to eat during a constricted time frame not assume a constricted diet just so you know it s not just for losing weight either if you are one of those people who are very thin who tend to lose weight to dangerous levels from even slight illness intermittent fasting and higher protein higher calorie eating good fats and nutrition not junk can be employed with the intermittent fasting to increase weight healthily honestly i need to step up self care in so many areas i d like to do light makeup most days and get back into that habit i want to be more consistent with my mani and pedicures i have terribly dry cuticles especially my fingers and they look ragged and torn half the time it takes moments to moisturize properly but i rarely take time ditto for all my skin care needs push myself to be more consistent with reading the bible work harder at getting those three morning pages written each morning i m thinking perhaps i should be rising just a little earlier than what i do my excuse has always been that i don t sleep well so many nights that i deserve the extra sleep however i have noted that i do tend to fall asleep more easily when i rise earlier it would also give me a window of time to read the bible work on those morning pages and get ready for my day no rule says i have to exit my room earlier just get up a little earlier wardrobe why i keep putting this off i ve no idea i need to just do it after typing this out i took into consideration my calendar for the next two weeks i need 7 outfits i then went off to the closet and set up 7 outfits some of which have layers that can be easily removed and still have a cohesive looking outfit if it happens to be warmer than i m anticipating mark this one done at october 16 2023 1

and truthful to make the most of what we have to be happy with simple pleasures and have courage when things go wrong saturday apparently i am sleeping more at night than i think because john has mentioned three times in as many days that he d gotten up at night and told me the times he s been up i never saw or heard him at any point so i am sleeping more than i realize i got up at one point this morning and sat in the living room in the quiet house in the dark thinking about getting a cup of coffee and dozed right off i woke about an hour and a half later because katie and caleb began
