Thanks - or no thanks - to a horrible migraine that I had all afternoon & evening on Sunday, I have the day off on Monday (thankfully my job is flexible enough that I could swap out my day off on Tuesday for a day off on Monday instead). Sooooooooo, if I feel better on Monday, I will be a HAPPY HOMEMAKER for the day!
On my bedside table:
my Sunday School lesson book - SECRETS OF A HAPPY HEART by Debi Pryde; also an old Agatha-Christie-type mystery story by Dorothy L. Sayers STRONG POISON
On my TV:
Food Network; and over the weekend LOVE TAKES WING & LOVE FINDS A HOME on the Hallmark Channel
On the Menu for Tonight:
I have to go to a Ladies' Meeting so I'm making Pampered Chef's Triple Chocolate Cake to take; my family will eat left over crock pot lasagna.
On My To-Do List:
finish unpacking from the overnight stay at the in-laws and clean up the house. While I was in bed with a migraine all day, my family apparently wasn't inclined to do anything either. There's a ton of dirty dishes (maybe my husband will do them in the morning, sometimes he does!), the trash can is overflowing, the cat litter boxes need to be cleaned, there's STUFF every where, and the post-Easter basket trash is scattered. (big sigh)
New Recipe I tried last week:
Looking Forward to:
the last day of school (ha! that isn't til the end of May - but I can't wait!!), also looking forward to working on & completing my Medical Transcription course soon.
Homemaking Tip:
Don't get a migraine....and otherwise, start a Household Notebook if you haven't already! I use mine for all the ideas and recipes I get off blogs and from magazines.
Oh, and I also learned if your daughter gives you a piece of gooey caramel chocolate, and you don't want to eat it right then, you SHOULD NOT set it by your bed on the floor...it might attract ants you never knew you had in your house!! :(
Favorite Blog of the Week:
There are so many - and last week I made some great new "bloggy" friends - but I will mention this post by Big Mama because it touched my heart (it is from her blog archives); it reminded me just a little bit of the post I wrote about Messy Children.
Favorite Photo from Last Week:
because my son took this picture of his Army men & the "war" he staged in the garage:
Lesson Learned from the Past Few Days:
Though I have been a Christian for almost 30 years, I have so much more to learn! And yet, God loves me and keeps on working on me, imperfect and ignorant as I am right now.
On My Prayer List:
My family & friends; some I know who are sick & facing surgery soon.
Scripture Verses:
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. James 1:20

The army men on the floor looks like my basement. Sounds like our boys would get along - mine spent the weekend building a tank out of cardboard boxes. (Well, actually an hour or two, but for as many times as I had to cut out cardboard...)
Hope you're feeling better today!
I'm so glad you're joining us Conny.
I hope your migraine is gone, those can be so debilitating at times.
Have a wonderful day :)
I started a household notebook before my surgery and I really need to finish it. Thank you for the reminder. Praying your migraine is gone.
I adore the Janette Oke books...I think I have now read them all. Alas the only Janette Oke movie we seem able to get in Australia is Love Comes Softly.
You have NO IDEA how excited I am about the new Love Comes Softly movie! I didn't know they put out another installment! YAY!
Have a blessed week,
Sherry
