Early Monday Morning.....

Our internet is finally working again, YAY!! It went down Friday afternoon while L and I were at Target. Actually two things happened while we were there; the internet crashed and Patch, our somewhat adopted stray, had kittens. I say somewhat adopted because we feed her, but she is too skittish to let us pet her. There is this quiet voice in my head that tells me we are only at the beginning of kitten mania if we don't get Patch fixed. Her mother, Rosemary, also eats at our house and apparently was pregnant too. We discovered this when two itsy-bitsy kittens came tumbling into the carport last week to nurse from their Mama. That makes for 7 cats in all. Oh my. Any one want a free kitty??

Lucas is amazing us everyday. His newest thing is to carefully pull out multiple toys from a basket I place in front of him and entertain himself for about 20 minutes. He is rolling across the room, winding up in strange places, frustrated because a couch or table is blocking his next roll. I'm beginning to understand why everyone told me not to be so eager to see him become mobile. He seems to be on track to be an outgoing little guy, eager to be the center of attention. In fact, he has started whining to us when he senses that our attentions are elsewhere. I want to curb that behavior fast. I try to tell him that he is not the center of our world, but he doesn't seem to get it. Then I ask him if he would like some cheese with his whine.

I'm taking Lucas to the Montessori school today. Partly because I haven't been there since Christmas and I miss everyone, but mostly so that I can observe in the baby room and learn some teaching methods to use on Lucas. Sneaky? Maybe. But important because there are a lot of things I want to be teaching Lucas right now.

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
