Weekend and Menu Plan Monday



Happy Monday!  Eating a donut...yum :) Watched the Superbowl last night and Mr. Man was happy the NY Giants won :)  We had a low spend weekend.  We did some light food shopping and ate at home all weekend!  Today, I need to buy Kiddo 2 some jeans for a school program tomorrow.  I had found a pair for 9 bucks but they did not fit.  So I'm returning them today and hoping to find something at a reasonable price.

I photographed and listed a few items yesterday and already have a bid on an item! Hope to list at least 10 items today.  I also will be working on our taxes...boooooo!  Have been getting the redecorating bug so I may move some things around.

Life, Dad update and America 2021

So it has been 10 months since the pandemic changed how we live. It feels like much, much longer.  Kiddo1 and Kiddo2 are learning from home. It has been a challenge but they have adapted. Mr. Man has had to make changes at his job. His work is pretty stressful and the changes due to the pandemic have only added to his and his coworkers' stress levels. As for myself, change has been difficult on many fronts.  Caring for Dad in this third year was the biggest challenge. It was 7 of us, my five brothers coming from different cities to care for him on a weekly basis, my sister (who had recently returned to teaching) and me. We managed as best we could and did it as safely as possible. Unfortunately, a couple of months ago, Dad passed away. It had nothing to do with the virus and simply the effects of his stroke and dementia that slowly took him. He died peacefully at home.  So now, I'm having to readjust to living.  I am trying to stay busy with life and yet still feel t...

Trying to avoid backsliding into oblivion!

I have not written in a WHILE! I'm so glad school is almost out for summer. You would think I could remember all these expenses like yearbooks, class parties, teacher gifts and field trips. I finally laid it out in a language they could understand..."If we save money by NOT eating out and NOT buying random junk then a trip to DisneyWorld would be possible just about every year!" They were amazed! Now....they know we would not go to DisneyWorld every year but they actually were listening to what I was saying versus tuning me out. LOL! I plan on listing like a mad woman next week.  I need to make some moola in a serious way. Plus, my organizing has gone off track and I need to get it under control again. So much to do and I'm looking forward to it :) Have a great Weekend!

A wonderful way to start the weekend!

I am so excited right now. Sometimes the smallest things can bring the biggest joy.  I'm here at home recovering from surgery, feeling a bit glum for a few reasons when I decide to read some of my favorite blogs.  I head on over to  My 1/2 Dozen Daily and begin to read Carla's 5 Things Friday post.  After I'm done admiring her super cute pouches that she sewed yesterday, I realize I have won her latest giveaway for the most adorable pouch ever.  It totally has made my day. Thank you so much Carla! Now that I have a bit of pep in my step, I think I will attempt to get through a pile of paperwork that has been sitting by my desk. It has a little of everything and I'm ready for it to be gone! I've posted a photo in attempts to shame myself into not putting it off. Hope everyone has a Happy Friday!
