Quick employment update:
I have been working hard to get more work as a substitute teacher. Today I got requests from 5 different staff members, from 4 different schools, for 6 days of work. Unfortunately I was already booked for half of the days, but I still booked 3 full teaching days today.

Happy Wednesday to All,

I will be tagging along with dh to pick up Jaden and his friend this afternoon from football as I have 2 people I am meeting for items I am selling so if they both show up I will be $15.00 richer . The 3rd person cancelled this am which is fine better that then waiting for a no show (drives me mad).

DH came back from the cottage with the cold/flu and ds2 (logan) has the cold (fingers crossed he doesn't get the potty urges @ school).

Nothing much planned except make my grocery list need to plan wisely as I only have $79.00 left and dh needs some stuff for his 2 week hunting trip.

Well off to get the chicken in the crockpot General Tao's chicken (new recipe) a little prep but sounds good, will update after dinner once my hard critics give the reviews. I will make the rice before I leave for groceries and pick up Jaden's football.

I dread the ride home and I don't mean to be rude but Jaden's friend stinks I mean really stinks. Jaden can't even sit with him on the bus (on the way into school) as the guy doesn't bathe and he can't stand the stench of his best friend...eeek. On Monday dh picked the guys up alone and had to have the windows down the whole ride. When I went 1 day last week to run some errands before we picked them up I literally had to cover my face and felt like gagging. It's not just a sweat smell it's kinda of sickening weird odor, hope he had a bath last night but I guess it's good in 1 sense that I can't smell with this cold BUT ladies believe me this stench may just unblock my nose.

Well off to the races!!!

Question for you folks - I am touch skinned so you won't offend, do you mind (please be honest) my official asking my fellow frugal friends on here to join me in weekly challenges or longer periods ie the filing challenge (BUT THERE IS NO pressure TO TAKE PART IN THEM) . I know that not everyone is up to doing them for a thousand reasons (life, health, finances, motivation, etc) or they may not even apply to your household but I must admit it's kinda nice to get organized when I'm up to it (and not be ALONE) and it also it gives a sense of accomplishment and words of encouragement from my besties on here and a good kick in the pants as I believe lilo said to get some stuff done. THANKS-

ALSO if anyone wants to put a challenge forth PLEASE PLEASE GO FOR IT!!!!Wishing everyone a super duper day!!!

Let me know what you think if you try it. It's probably my favourite dish - I could have it for breakfast, lunch & dinner (yeah for my version of healthy eating, lol).

Andit, I'm not Hungarian, but I use Paprika practically everyday. I didn't even know that it was an Hungarian spice, I just grew up eating it (Mom was a chef), and I use it on most of my meats, chicken, pork, beef, fish etc. We love it, it's just part of our seasoning. That's why I figured they would like it .
