Happy Monday afternoon!
I'm so off schedule. The children were out of town last week, so we spent a lot of late nights watching television and I spent a lot of mornings sleeping in! Now they are home and I should be back on schedule, but after a very busy week last week and an extremely busy weekend, we are killed! We had a wedding to attend on Friday, then sadly we had a funeral on Sunday, as well as a church event Sunday evening. It has been very busy and chaotic and an emotional roller coaster lately, so I'm in desperate need of a slow week! Hopefully after soccer practice this evening we can rest and relax on Tuesday, my husband is on a break from school this week and his honey do list is a mile long! So hopefully we can staycation just a little bit!
It's been a minute since I've blogged at all. I have a lot to catch up on with some of you that I keep up with even when I'm not actively blogging, so I'm excited to join this linky party today and see how all of you are doing! I think about ya'll even when I'm not here, so know that!
Its GORGEOUS today. My children are outside trying to begin to incorporate our new chicks into the coop now that they are rounding eight weeks of life they are coop ready, and ready to meet the old guard! It's quiet and I'm ready to sit down and share with you lovely ladies today! Linking up with Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

Black t, flowy printed shorts from AE.

Thritbooks says that my books will be delivered today! I'm excited to start Stranger from the Sea by Winston Graham after finishing the Poldark tv series for the second time.
*** On my TV this week ***
Re-watching Hart of Dixie while working out in the mornings. Of course, When Calls the Heart! OHHH I'm loving this Elizabeth/Nathan storyline. Team Nathan!
*** Looking around the house ***
I've enjoyed very much my roomba vaccume for years, Rosie is tried and true. Recently we invested in the braava jet mop (his name is Jarvis) Ya'll. Best investment EVER. My floors look incredible and we ran them both while we were gone yesterday. You would think I stayed home to sweep and mop. LOVE both of them. The laundry is another story. Yikes. Laundry today or naked tomorrow.
*** To do list ***
*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses ***

This week looks warm and beautiful! In the 80s! We are working on sealing some places on the pool, we took it down last year and there are a few holes. I want to try and make it last one more summer since we are planning a wedding, but we will definitely have to replace it next fall. I'ts a nice day to be out and about!
*** Right now I am ***
Enjoying the quiet, enjoying my tea my husband brought from Tarboro this morning, and excited to be sharing again in this linky party!

As I said its been awhile since I've shared! I have actually started editing photos again and my daughters prom photos are so ready for me to dive back into them this afternoon! My oldest daughter is getting married this September, so today I'm planning to work on putting her together a little planner so she can get it this weekend when shes home to plan! I feel like I overhwhelm her with all of my ideas. She's not a planner, and I am, so I hope to write it all down so we can have our thoughts organized when we sit down with the wedding planner next weekend!
*** How I am feeling ***
Very tired. I need to start taking care of myself again. I need to get back on track with my diet and exercise. I see my doctor for a follow up next week, so I'll see the resuts of my bloodwork. Is anyone interested in an accountability group for weekly health 'weigh ins'? I need to start something....
