Keeping Busy
So I lied. I have had no time at all this weekend to dream up some fabulous recipe for you. Maybe this week? Hang in there, will you…I am closing in on the final week of the Pantry Raid, I’ve had friends and family in, I had a huge Yard Sale and then a golf tourney all in the past 3 days. Time has been limited!
I have a strange week coming up – Jon will be working out of town for 3 days (and thus have a meal per diem), which will help out with the Raid, but also means I will have all the house, chores and the Boy to take care of alone. Those of you with military husbands or husbands that work away alot, I feel for you. Sure, the house doesn’t get quite as messy, but it’s so nice to have an extra set of hands around and a body to hug. What do you do to make the time go faster? Me? I’ll be making a couple of orders of sugar cookies to hip off – one order for an internet friend I aspire to be – she’s SO loving and a great Mom…and hopefully, if she’s reading, she knows who she is and knows how much her support means to me! (That’s right, it’s you KG!)
Day 18 Rundown: Spent $5.44 + 2.12 = $7.56.
Breakfast: Seven hung out with Jon on Saturday while I worked the Yard Sale. For some reason, he slept in until nearly 11 (gasp!) which he never does with me. But anyway, they ate Cheerios and fruit. I had a ham biscuit, courtesy of my BIL Nick who went out and bought all of us Yard Salers breakfast. Very sweet.
Lunch: I was still yard sale-ing, and Jon decided to just buy us some lunch. he bought a Pizza Roll, which we split. It was $5.44 including tax. Sev ate a bologna and cheese sandwich when e woke up from his nap.
Dinner: Because my sister and her family are still in from Pennsylvania to visit, we all ate dinner at my house. Mom supplied the meat for kebabs as well as corn on the cob and green beans. We supplied scalloped potatoes (from a box), peppers from the garden, and onions left from when Jon’s folks visited. We also supplied the zucchini and squash. I made a cobbler out of fresh peaches, blueberries and blackberries (all from the backyard) and a cake mix and melted butter. SOunds gross but it’s delicious. We had my peach ice cream with it, and some blackberry sorbet I made last week. it was nice having everyone up – we actually even played a little baseball with the kids!
The extra $2.12 is money Jon spent on Friday that he forgot to tell me about – for 2 Gatorades. He swears he was sick, and what Gatorade has to do with that, I couldn’t tell you.
10 Days to Go, $56.59 left to spend.
