When Thursday feels like Monday

Lucas is finally asleep. Matt is relaxing after a hard day at work. The dishes are washed. And I'm exhausted. It's been one of those days. One of those days that only a deep, long night of sleep can hope to heal. I woke up this morning already feeling overwhelmed for no reason at all. I stayed busy around the house, making baby food (green beans and carrots), hand washing my "dry clean only" clothes, and of course, playing with Little Guy. We even went outside and sat in the grass for about 20 minutes. I thought for sure Lucas would start eating the grass immediately, but he was so distracted by his surrondings that only one blade made it to his mouth. I was impressed. However, everything fell apart at naptime. Lucas cried and screamed for almost 2 hours. I tried everything to console him until finally I concluded that he must be teething, so I gave him some tylenol. It worked. For about 20 minutes; and then he was back up again. We got to hang out with Andrew tonight, who served to be a great distraction for Lucas. Lucas couldn't stop staring at Andrew as he crawled across the floor, pushing the new, blue ball we got him yesterday at Toys R Us. I'm hoping that the more time Lucas spends with Andrew, the more motivated he will be to start crawling. He's scooting everywhere, manuvering his body to get him where he needs to be, but he can't get up on all fours yet.

My brain is now fried and my body is screaming for a back rub. I'm off to bed 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 ...
