Bad Day

I'm not going to lie to you. Today was a bad day. It didn't start off that way. In fact, it started off kind of good. And the middle of it was fun; we went to the water park. I figured we should go a few more times before it closes for the season. It was after the water park when things went down hill. As the whining (Ava) and disobedience (Lucas) increased, my mood totally went down hill. (And it is still hovering in the dark abyss.)

Some days I feel like supermom. Other days, like today, I just feel like quitting. I think it's the isolation that can come from the routine of life as a SAHM that bogs me down. Whether it's due to schedules, tempers, or whatever, sometimes we don't get out of the house, and the only "adult" conversation I have is when Matt gets home from work.

Tonight he got home at 8:30.

I consoled myself with some Blue Bell chocolate ice cream. (Sorry Kat, I think I went over my points today - and I'm not even a fan of ice cream! yikes!)

Thankfully this is a very rare exception.

Tomorrow is a new day. Lucas will be at preschool in the morning, and I'm not sure how Ava and I will spend our time together.

I think we may go smile at the senior citizens shopping at Wal-mart and buy some room-darkening shades for the bedrooms.

I'm tired of our kids waking up at first morning's light.

I hope you have a great day!

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 ...
