Happy Homemaker 2022-04-04

Good morning

Last week we had a strike day - 4 hours of manifestations.  Luckily one of my friends who is retired from govt came to spend this time with me.  we ate lunch together, was nice to see her after 2 years.

Had Xavier over on Thursday because he was tired and ddil wanted him to have a quiet day.  I was working but dh took him to McD's for lunch.  We did not have the grandkids over the weekend so I did some more deep-cleaning.  However, today is a change of plans.  My husband just left to pick both up, they are coughing so will not go to daycare.

Saturday picked up some Easter gift bags at the dollarstore and some meat for the bbq, which we took out of the gazebo (and over the snow banks) to put on the patio.  1st time this season!

We were to have a family brunch on Sunday for my nephew's bday but it was postponed as my sister-in-law has covid.  My brother and his girlfriend also have it.

We are now officially in the 6th wave of covid.  For now the 'masks-off' is april 15th, might change.  

Work - is starting 'in office' this week - 2 days a week.  My days are Tuesdays and Thursdays (determined by my boss).

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

On my mind

Mom - sis called me this weekend... she is hiding food in cupboards, her fridge needs a weekly cleaning out as she just puts things in there and forgets them.

Going back to work officially
