Happy Homemaker 2021-07-12

Goodmorning!

Last weekend we went to my parent's house (a 3 hour drive) because Sunday was my mom's 75th birthday.  We are rarely there for her birthday as we usually see them the week after for vacations.   So me & sis decided last Thursday night we would do a little something (can't do much since outside gatherings shouldn't be more than 20 people).  It was a beautiful day so we stayed outside.  Dad cooked a BIG chicken on the mechoui and we had hot-dogs with that.  It was potluck style so everyone brought something.  I only got to declutter one small bag of her stuff because we did not have time for that but sil went through the clothes that mom had for her kids and took out 7 bags.

Mom was not sure why everyone was there even though they all said happy birthay. :(  Sometimes she is fine but when she is tired she forgets alot.

We stopped by my daughter's new appartment on the way back so dh could install the new wheels on her bbq (it had toppled over a few weeks back when a small tornado had passed and they had brocken).  We had 2 boxes of stuff to bring back (she doesn't have space for those) and I have to find some place to put it away.

On my mind

Upcoming vacations and what we will be doing.  Can't do too much yet as there are still restrictions and everything works with reservations so planning to be mostly home and do some things around the house and see some people!

Looking around the house

So much to do!!  Nothing was done over the weekend, will do what I can but I have to go babysit the kids from 11:00 to.... probably 3:00 so won't get much done.  ah well, vacation next week so I'll do it there if I can't do it before.

On my to-do list

Monday

• Post here - DONE
• Menu-plan - 
• Laundry
• Vac main floor

Last week's decluttering (that actually got taken out of the house)

• 1 pair of running shoes given to my niece
• 1 ceramic bottle that goes in the fridge to add desodorizer in.
• More papers

I decided to list what I get decluttered each month on my 'declutter calendar'... will motivate me when decluttering.
