Ooooh Cutting up and apple for DS for snack and then he is off to bed. Yippeee! Quiet time will be on!
It has been a pretty busy weekend.
Mom got home around noon yesterday from a cake class and we were off to go Grocery Shopping. It was a pretty light week for us grocery wise, picked up some fruits and veggies, a few items for the stockpile and mom picked up a few extras (which she paid for). I was able to find quite a few great tear pad coupons for things we use all the time. Since we got off to a late start we got home late.
Today has been pretty busy, I did my prep work for the week chopping veggies, I also cleaned up our kitchen, did laundry, made a nice roast beef dinner and also did some prep work for my lunches for the week.
Last week was a huge success goal wise. I got a good chunk of the bathroom stockpile done. Aside from a few things everything that will be staying upstairs has been inventoried and put in the closet, the pile in the hallway is almost gone. Now I just need to clean up in the sink and take what will stored in the basement downstairs.
As well we only ate out once last week, which I knew we would eat out when we went shopping. Since we were getting a late start there is no way we would have been home in time to cook dinner. My goal for October is to only eat out once a week, once we accomplish this we will work on on lowering it again.
Hope everyone had a great weekend
I'm not a GREAT coupon organizer, but every month I refile the next month's coupons into a set of envelopes that I carry along with my album. They are separated into general groups - food - cleansers- personal care, etc. Then when I'm shopping, I check there first if I find a "find".
I found that when I was teaching and substitute teaching, that teachers start to "come down" with colds, etc. in the last half of October - the adrenalin of starting the year has worn off and all the "sniffles" and "kerchews" are spreading the germs around - especially in rainy weather when the kids don't get outside. I hope you're taking your Vitaminies! I used to say that it's an odd job where you have to hope someone gets ill, so you can work! LOL! But luckily there are good folks like you around to "take up the slack"!
It's the opposite in our family - my dh couldn't care LESS about gifts (or so he says) but my family likes to DO CHRISTMAS! Not so much value but thoughtful presents! Something you've said you'd like might JUST turn up under that tree! So nice to think you're being thought of all through the year!
good night ladies, sleep well
Yes. I was in a school for 3 days last week and the staff was already talking about 3 sick teachers at that school. The good thing is that the teachers who have contracts and need the subs have sick days to use. They are not out any money by calling me in to cover for them.
