Happy Homemaker 2023-09-11

 9-11 Let's take a moment to remember the tragedy.

Last week was my 1st half day at work Tuesday.  Took almost an hour before all equipement worked but it went well.

Last week was horribly hot and humid. yuck... this week should be more Fall-like temperatures, yay!

Took Friday off work as sis & bil came here.   We went for European pizza for supper followed by the Peter Gabril show.  was fun but we went to bed almost at midnight!

Saturday we went to my son's house as they were redoing his entryway and sis wanted to see grandkids before they left at noon.  We went to see ddil at her scentsy sales booth at the maternity fair and the guys brought grandkids back with them.  Grandkids stayed with us and slept over.

Sunday dh took grandkids to get groceries while I did some laundry.  We drove the kids home afterwards.  Did some housechores and dh made 2 chicken pot pies.

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