Happy Homemaker 2023-07-31

 Good morning

"I'm on vacation and we went to visit dd's boyfriend's parents during the weekend at their house near a lake.  Nice people, nice place.  We got back home Monday afternoon with dh having a cold and now it's my turn"   .... haha that's what I wrote last week... turns out we both got COVID.  DH was ok after a few days of sneezing and sleeping, but I was sick all week with sore throat, a BIG headache during day & nights and of course stomach had to join in there.   felt better starting Saturday.  So one week vacation down the drain for me - no outings at all - I had wanted to do just a few small things around here... will be done later when it's not so hot and I have the energy.

Saturday finally got some energy back so did a few housechores (weeded around the house, laundry) and read work emails for 1 hour (will deduct from my time when I go back to work).

Sunday babysitting grandkids in the afternoon as parents have a golf game.

Monday should be leaving for parent's house to visit and zoo on Tuesday with 4 grandkids.  We should be in town for a few days before coming back.

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