Living better, spending less.
My child woke up at 4:49 this morning. Personally, I am still not adjusted to the time change so to me, this is the equivalent of being awake at 3:49. I think this will be a very long day indeed, especially considering that she was tossing and turning all night, and woke up once crying (just as I was falling asleep). It was 1:00 the last time I looked at the clock. Oh well. No one ever said parenthood would be fun all the time!
Meal Plan
Monday: cereal. I am a super great housewife!
Tuesday: something with chicken, to be made up as I go along (or possibly sandwiches), vegetables–frozen and free, of course!
Wednesday: homemade pizza
Thursday: Mexican rice
Friday: burgers
If these seem to be repeats, it is both because I am unimaginative, and I veered from the plan a few times recently. :)
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
