Happy Homemaker 2021-02-01

 Good morning!  Welcome February

We had our grandson on Friday night and he left Saturday after supper with his parents.  He bumped his head on my nose and it is just starting to feel better. ouch!  This gave me a headache all weekend and it rang right to my ears.  

Sunday my husband worked so I was alone and did quite a few housechores.  Last week I had an ambitious to-do list, which got done, but I was so tired on Saturday.  I also have an ambitious list this week but I am giving myself permission NOT to do it all.

I finished the deep-cleaning in my bedroom, the office-guest-room, hallway and the bathroom. Muffins were baked and menu-planning was done.  Laundry also got done and vaccumed main floor. AND I teleworked too.  Of course morning routine got pushed to the side a few days so that I could start early with all this cleaning.

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