"Fall" into September Savings

[MrsSunshine]

up earlier too. i should be waking dh and ds for their adventure today. but im like meh..
well, anyway. the other day dh mentioned he wanted something for xmas, i was like. um i thought we decided we weren't 'doing' xmas. he says well seeing as i didn't get what i wanted last year.. i said. we were supposed to go away for a few days instead.
well guess not. as he takes his holidays in the winter to enjoy less 'winter' driving(as he drives for work), so he doesn't want to have to do it too on his holidays.
oh man.. is he kidding.. back to square one for planning..

Good Morning Everyone,
Been up since 7 (slept in) laundry is done, just need to fold the last load which I will wait for Mom to do since I refuse to fold her clothes (she just refolds them anyways). Two batches of muffins are made and cooling. Dishes are half done (taking a break).

I have decided to make a roast beef for dinner. We are really having meal issues lately, Mom says she feels like nothing and just seems to get annoyed when it comes to meals. Hoping to write a meal plan today but every time I bring it up again Mom gets annoyed.

I am getting super frustrated. Me and Mom it seemed finally got back to a good place and we seemed to be staying there until she asked for a favour and I said I needed to think about it and now it seems like every thing I do is wrong or not good enough and she is just super moody. The girls at work keep teasing me that she is acting like a child but in reality I feel like she is and it seems like anything I say or suggest right now she wants to do the opposite just because she can and now any ambition she had to get things done around here seems to be gone. I am trying to ignore it and keep going but I am getting frustrated and I feel we will continue this way until I give into what she has asked for.

Oh well I going to try to keep ignoring it and get done what I need to get done, off to finish dishes and find something to eat.

Hope everyone has a great day

Pretty cake, Mrs S.
I had an amazing PC Plus offer of 200 points for each box of KD, so I bought 45 boxes. 35 went to a friend with a big family. I could not bring myself to buy more, but Logan loves this stuff.

what a day. up way early. took a bus and then walked to a garage sale(yes left the guys sleeping) scored some great deals for things to decorate my dining room once all the 'crap' is gone.
then came home, went shopping with dh. then came home and helped decorate a cake for 'our girlie's sweet16. i'll post a picture tomorrow. dh did the whole thing.
then we had her over to open her presents. she was WAY over the moon happy.
tomorrow is laundry and clean up. guys are going to a local fair. im getting rid of some wreaths for charity.
anyway thats my weekend so far.

Mrs. S. do you have a daughter???"our girlie's sweet16? just asking because you always mention the boys but no gal (lol).

Great finds for your home from the garage sale, love those.

great job on all you have managed to do especially sleeping in.

Stay strong and don't give in I think perhaps she knows you will as you don't like conflict. Best of luck with your mom.

On a sadder note, my nieces wife(you read that right) will be induced today to deliver a 25 week stillborn baby girl-very sad for them and my brother and his wife who were planning to welcome a third granddaughter in Dec.

Wow lizzie....words can not even express.
Miscarriage is one of the worst things.
I feel the loss for all of you. Hugs.

Well this week has been difficult to say the least. My son is now in an air cast but still cannot do any weight bearing until the screws in his ankle come out in three months. It has been very difficult for him as he is so active and it is very time consuming for me as he needs assistance with everything. Of course I worked a 40 plus work week so had to enlist friends and family to help him out.He needs a wheel chair for school because the chance of him getting bumped and loosing his balance is too high.
I received a phone call from my husband who was fishing in Prince Rupert that he was in the hospital with his heart in A fib while I was right in the middle of catering a dinner for 60 people, yup that was a little stressful to say the least. He is on his way home as we speak, they stabilized him and monitored him for 3 days and put him on blood thinners and medication to regulate his heart beat and felt he was safe to travel home. Prince Rupert has a very small hospital and felt he was safe to get home and to emergency here. I will be picking him up in Edmonton this afternoon and right to the hospital.I had been at work since 8 am and was leaving at midnight and backed in to a coworkers car, (a combintaion of stress and fatigue). I decided to just pay for it rather than have my rates go up, first accident that I have caused, so I am 1500.00 poorer just for their vehicle and haven't even dealt with mine.Has to get better soon doesn't' it?

TG...know that when things are down, there is only one way to go...up!
Hoping things will start to go up for you.
