Happy Homemaker 2021-11-29

Good morning and goodbye November !

Met my lady-boss Friday for lunch.  Was fine.  Then a did a few errands but not much.. too many people in the stores and snow / rain mix all day.  Took Friday afternoon off.

Saturday my husband worked and kids were busy so I had the whole day to myself to do stuff. 

Sunday we picked up Xavier around 10:00 and he spent the day here with us.  Anne-E has another cold and is coughing alot.

Enough said, let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .

On my mind

A new job opportunity opened up.. would need to change the section I work with - an area I don't know anybody... would mean a promotion but might change my 4 day-week and working from home,... so not sure about that.

What will be happening for the holidays with the new covid variant.

Something Christmas related I've done the past few days

Wrapped gifts, mailed Christmas cards this morning.

Christmas movies I watched

I've been watching quite a few Christmas movies the last few weeks.  I am writing them down so I don't record the same twice.  Here are the ones I watched last week.

The Christmas cottage, The Christmas parade, The Christmas wlatz, Time for us to come home, A very charming Christmas town.

On the breakfast plate

Oat-chocolate milk (they were out of vanilla at the grocery store) and cinnamon bun.

On my reading pile

Wintering by Katherine May - joined an online book club so we'll see if I like that or not - have no idea how a book club works.

On my tv
