I was trying to catch up on my SIR’s but decided I better stop as I don’t think my commments are making sense. I had to take the flexerril and percocet when I woke up as I have terrible muscle spams between my shoulder blades. Once I take the meds, I can’t think straight or make much sense. Since daytime TV is so boring my laptop keeps me entertained from my spot on the couch.
I only have two goals for today. I hope to wash the small amount of dishes that are to be done. I think if I do 5 minutes throughout the day I will be able to maybe get them done before the day is over. The only other thing I need to do is get the sloppy joes in the crock pot. I am so mad at myself. Last night I put two pounds of hamburger in water to thaw. I was going to let them thaw for 1/2 hour then put in the fridge. I forgot about it and went to bed. So this morning I had to throw out the hamburger….GRRRRR…what a waste of money. This reminds me I have two more pounds thawing now, I should go check out it. ……….(back) not yet thawed.
Sorry if my post goes astray….I feel my meds kicking in. I suppose I will go clean out my email for a while…..looks like another day on the couch for me. Hubby is still negotiating with our insurance co about my truck. He is getting so frustrated at this point. They are not working very well with him.
I meet with my attorney again on Monday. I hope this gets straightened out soon. I haven’t been able to return to work yet. Hopefully after a nice relaxing weekend I will be able to work on Tuesday?? Time will tell. It is so hard for me to sit still, but not much I can do. Luckily my hubby spoils me and had gotten me this laptop. ..Then again I might end up napping. Later!
Tommy is getting so big. Today is his day at daycare, meaning he can bring a video and book of his choice. WHen he got up this morning he said “Today, Tommy;s Day!” I didn’t really know he understood that. I ususally forget ot send something since I didn’t really think he knew what was going on. Obviously he does, so we picked out a Winne the Pook Look and Find book he enjoy and a DVD to share with his friends.
This sitting on the couch for a week isn’t doing much for my weight loss either….I sit here snacking and drinking diet Mt dew since i am bored!! ARGH!!
I wanted to tell you yesterday that I enjoyed the link to your very stupendous information on shopping on a budget. We shop every two weeks as well and spend between $200 and $300 each time for a family of four. It gets spendy though I tend not to make any mid-week runs for groceries. I tell my family that when we’re out, we’re out. LOL. Our biggest frustration is milk because it costs nearly $4 a gallon here though occasionally I find it for a fabulous $2 a gallon and then I go berserk because we just shoot through the stuff.
To save prices I shop at Costco once a month for the big meat purchases, Walmart for the paper goods and hygiene items like shampoo, deoderant, etc., and then Albertson’s or Safeway for the basic grocery items. I’m quietly waiting for a Super Walmart to open here — that will save me TONS.
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that I plan to apply your advice and see if I can whittle our shopping costs down by a hundred dollars or so by menu planning and price comparisons. I have a mental price book, but an actual physical one would be terrific.
Thanks!
