It's May! Holy cow!!
Sunday was a big
Laverne project day and I was in heaven!
I can hardly wait to finish it up so I can share it with you. Look for those posts starting next Thursday. 😆
I used a Home Depot
gift card to pick up some supplies I needed which included a smoke detector,
very important feature, to replace the one that was missing. I got it installed and because the fire
extinguisher is also missing I took an extra one I had in the garage and set
that it in the motorhome as well. I even
wiped all the dust off of it.
I also did some
cleaning and vacuuming along with a lot of exploring of all the many storage
spaces inside. I'm still amazed with all
of the storage in there.
Tuesday evening we
enjoyed my youngest daughter's spring orchestra concert. It was really lovely.
Wednesday was my
daughter's track meet so we didn't get home until after 7:00. So dinner, homework, bedtime, just like that.
Thursday was a catch
up day for me. After dropping my
daughter off at the university for a three hour robotics meeting I swung
through the library and dropped off a book I finished. Then headed home to get the laundry done,
dinner cooked and still managed to fit in a small motorhome project before I
had to pick up the girl. Then to bed
early.
We continued to
prepare delicious meals all week using items we already had on hand. I may have been a wee bit overstocked on
food. But I'm sure we'll manage to get
it down to a more manageable level in rather short order.
We made pretty wise
use of our food so the chickens didn't get a lot of kitchen scraps last week,
but they did get some. They still kept
us well supplied with eggs. I sold two
dozen eggs to a friend and we put that money aside for their next bag of feed.
Once again I did not
do any of my usual grocery shopping last week.
That's two weeks in a row!
However, I put the girls in charge of food for the weekend and gave them
what was left in the dining and entertainment budget to do with as they saw fit
since my Dominos ordering was a bust the week before. They went to Fred Meyer and picked up frozen
chicken nuggets, corn dogs, fish sticks, frozen pizza, tater tots, fries and
ice cream sandwiches. They justified it
with the fact that it was much less expensive then fast food and would last the
weekend (probably longer I would think) without needing to go anywhere and
interrupt my workflow. I can't argue
with that logic.
Here's a teaser pic! |
The girls took care
of the household stuff and even cleaned the gutters! I worked myself into complete exhaustion
before eating a meal of homemade mac & cheese, grilled chicken sausages (from
our freezer) and a wonderful green salad with homemade Ranch dressing. Wait a minute! What happen to all that frozen junk food?
How was your thrifty
week?
You guys are awesome! You work so well together....can't wait to see more of Laverne!
ReplyDeleteI am having way too much fun with her and we haven't even left the driveway!
DeleteSometimes you will actually not eat the junk food and crave good things. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that something? After two meals they were totally over it.
DeleteI can't wait to see Laverne when she is finished and I think the girls did great with their shopping!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting excited to show her off and thank you. It's funny they bought all of that stuff but have hardly touched it. I think it sounded better than it actually tasted. Except for the corn dogs, those are always good - ha, ha.
