Spring Colds
Not much to report today except the heat. Oh my goodness, it got up near 90 today, which is highly unusual for the Hudson Valley at this time of year and definitely not a good thing in the big picture. I feel guilty for enjoying it a little bit 🙁
Other than that it was a typical day… I did get a call from the school nurse and had to pick up Laura who had a headache and sore throat. Lots of spring colds going around.
Grilled steaks for dinner, which were delicious! And that was about it. Almost the weekend!
Spring Has Sprung!
What a gorgeous day! Temperatures reached near 80 and I was so grateful that it was a Wednesday so I got to spend time outside after I ran my morning errands. I put up a new garden flag, walked around to see what plants are (and aren’t!) coming up, and trimmed up the burning bushes in front of the house. Even though I pruned them way down in the fall, they are once again unruly and I hate when they block the windows so they got a good trimming. Drew doesn’t understand why it bothers me so much, but as long as I’m not asking him to do the work, he is OK with my quirks when it comes to the landscaping, LOL!
I Love This
Thank you to @thebookwrangler for sharing this amazing image! I have the 8.5 x 11-sized version printed out and hanging on the bulletin board at my desk.
This Week’s Eats
I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to a much more structured week! It was a little chaotic here last week with the kids on vacation and having to drive them here and there. So things should be back to normal with our typical schedule, which makes meal planning much easier! Here’s what I’ve got down for this week (subject to change, of course!)
Sunday: Easter dinner out
Monday: Turkey taco salads
Tuesday: Grilled chicken, asparagus, salad
Wednesday: Turkey meatballs, red lentil rotini, salad
Thursday: Grilled sirloins, baked potatoes, broccoli
Friday: Out with a friend. Maybe pizza for everyone else?
Saturday: Burgers, cole slaw
Happy Easter
Easter greetings from the past… 1980 to be exact. That would be my brother and I with the Easter Bunny at the Eastfield Mall in Springfield, MA. It was just announced that the mall would be razed this year. At least we have the memories!
When the Kids are Away…
… the parents get Greek take-out! We way over-ordered. If we had known how much food was in one of the gyro platters we would’ve split one! Now we have leftovers for Monday, though – Drew will be happy for the quick, easy lunch!
What a Week
What a week it’s been… looking forward to the weekend for sure.
Friday Eve
Realizing I have a hard time remembering to post on Thursdays. Getting this in just in time, lol…
Winding Down
Candle, check!
Tea (decaf with unsweetened vanilla almond milk), check!
Magazine that I got in the mail weeks ago, check!
Not an exciting week around here, but I’m thankful for cozy nights like this!
