What to do?

After a full day, I sit down and wonder what I want to do next. Lucas is asleep. Andrew just left after a fun afternoon of playtime, a nap, and graham crackers. Matt won't be home until late tonight because he has to close. Should I relax with a book or favorite television show? Or should I go ahead and start dinner, unload the dishwasher, and fold the laundry? As much as I would like to bum around for a while, the happiness that comes from marking items off my "list" is well worth the effort. Besides I can relax later.

College really brought to my attention the fact that I am not good with managing my free time. Sure, I finish the things around the house that need to be accomplished each day, but when they are done, I am always torn between being a bum and starting on one of the numerous projects we have around here. Truthfully, our clutter and lack of organization has been so overwhelming to me, I haven't even attempted most projects. The photo albums, redoing the kitchen furniture, painting the bathrooms, organizing our closets (yikes!), all add up to me saying, "I think I'll get to that another day."

For now, I'll stick with my short list.

If it were me, I would choose a NAP.

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 ...
