Happy Homemaker 2019-02-03

Good morning!

Was a short work week as I took Friday off - had had sore throat all week and short nights (hot flashes).  

Last weekend my son, daughter-in-law, grandson and dog arrived on saturday at noon and they left after lunch on Sunday.  They slept over.  So I got to do lots of baby-hugging and he had spent the whole day with me last Monday.  

Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .

The month of January had lots less snow than usual and much less cold too.

How I am feeling this morning
was crick-cracking but did a few exercises and feel better.  My sore throat seems ok this morning.

On my mind
Lots to do this week at work and on the home-front want to start my deep spring-cleaning.

On the breakfast plate
A glass of water and baked oatmeal with blueberries and bananas.

      1. It was a veggie soup. A mix of veggies that were in the freezer, with chicken bouillon and a can of tomato soup.
