Good Morning Everyone,
Feeling a little sore this morning from my cleaning yesterday, maybe the floors an upper cabinet in our Kitchen and around the toilet in the bathroom all in one day was a bit much for my back. Good news is, it is sore but not gone out or spasming so today I will try to be a bit nicer but I really want to get the bathroom done.

I am trying to catch up on all the little things at work but yeah, it is never ending. I get one thing done and check my email and there are 3 more things I need to deal with. But I am trying to find the balance.

I did not start until 7 am today, I really did not want to get up today. I have taken a break already and emptied the dishwasher and also filled an empty spice jar that was on the counter. Soon I will break again and make some lunch.

It is feast or famine in our house, last week we had no options for lunches this week my fridge is literally busting. I made Beef and Broccoli to have for lunches this week and then the last two nights we have had leftovers. Kind of tempted to not make dinner tonight and just have leftovers instead but we will see.

I really want to take a nap but it is a work day so back at it I go.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Planted some seeds just now. I moved them all outside in the sunshine for the afternoon.
I have some sprouting that I planted last week. Exciting

Good Afternoon,
Can I still blame last's week time change for how I am feeling???? Don't think so but I have no idea what is up, I slept last night but I am so tired today. Seriously if it was not a work day I could just lay down and take a nap.

Leftovers for dinner will not work, I had lasagna for Lunch but Mom did not want Tomato so she had Beef Broccoli. That would leave her with Lasagna for Dinner and she does not want Tomato or Chicken Souvlaki Bowls but it would be more rice so on to plan B.......................

We are going to have Baked Chicken Breast with Hasselback Potatoes and Bean & Carrot Medley.

I always feel so torn when we have a Baked Chicken Breast, I love Baked Chicken Breast and always wonder why we do not have it more often but than I remember it is all about the $$$$. I buy all of our Chicken Breasts at Costco because when I do this they are large enough that if we cut them into Chunks or Strips one chicken breast will feed both of us. Where is if we have Baked Chicken Breast we each eat a whole Chicken Breast and consume double the meat.

Laundry is going and my work day will be over in about an hour or so.

Well didnt get to my reading ,as hubby fixed our gate which is adjescent to the neighbours (2 heavy gates together is not good ).The wind use to whip it and break the small latch ,so hubby reinforced it and asked me to paint it brown .

So i painted outside for a bit ,as hubby needed to pick up ashlyn at school.


I just got my gap order and a lovely cowl neck top for fall fits me (its softspun ,their soft line of clothing ) it is grey .So i have a nice fall top for next fall/winter i only paid $11 something for .

Supper will be a quick easy meal .I may try a crave dinner i bought)

[Frugalbigmama]

I have been watching lots of YouTube videos on meal prep etc and have so many ideas.

Good morning everyone!!! Another beautifull spring day,it will be 18 degres this afternoon!!!
I will post my brag this morning.I checked the news flyers and honnestly it willl be minimun spending the upcoming week with all the stuff I got yesterday....I will try to fix a budget limit and calculate before for now,not just doing list.
I was up at 6 am...
A fews tasks on my list have to be made but not pushing myself to hard today.
Hoping to get my pc points missing today and got good offers for next week..for now I will scan my card after not before she start to ring thing I think..maybe that was the problem?
Eve the cat was a little bit sick and had a accident last night..poor little cat....she is old and always sleeping...
Eve still have 2 small bags and 1 big bag of food catchow but will see if I can have coupons by writing to purina because I dont receive the insert(there was a 3$ coupon grr) and i think purina have a printable.She enjoy the catchow at my surprise and no problems at all so why paid like 40$ for a proplan bag when she can have a small bag of catchow for under 10$ when I have coupon and a sale

Have a beautifull day,off to take some fresh air and I have 1 garbage and a little bit of recycle to put outdoor away.
