HAPPY HOMEMAKER MONDAY
Happy Monday Friends ☀️
I hope you had a lovely weekend, and that the week is already bringing you lots of sunshine. It was a wonderful weekend as I got lots of Annie time. There were a lot of severe weather alerts...so Matt and I had already decided not to worry about traveling to each other. But even though the weather turned out to be okay - Annie and I had gotten our covid boosters, and I didn't feel too great at times over the weekend. So it ultimately turned out okay. And when I did feel better Annie wanted to go out to practice driving in her new car. Matt and I did lots of phone/facetime, which helps, and I'm going down to see him on his day off this week. And he's coming up next weekend. Yay!
Matt actually lost his 105 year old Granny recently. 😢 She lived a wonderful and very full life...but no matter the age, it still hurts to lose the ones we love. So I'm looking forward to getting extra time with him this week.
And of course the world is heavy these days in general... and I keep doing lots of extra prayer time for peace to prevail. My heart hurts so much for all of the folks of Ukraine and those in Russia with no choice. I look at each day that I have it so darned good as an absolute gift. I want to never take that gift for granted. I try to live the best me I'm able in each day with the gifts God gave me to give as the best Mom, gf, daughter, sister, family member, friend, and hospice worker I can be.
So with that, on to the week ahead...
