Tired of going to the grocery store (tired in terms of it getting old---these kids eat all the time!) after running low on flour, sugar, shortening, peanut butter, coffee, toilet paper, milk and bread, etc. Gary suggested we go to the store to get coffee and Puppy Chow. Came home with much more. Well, not a huge supply, and not in direct relation to the weather, but the money was there (all gone!) and it felt good to stock up.
Homemade spaghetti for tomorrow, and it'll last two days, plus we got a 4 lb. bag of Great Northern beans and unfortunately I'm married to a man who wants NOTHING done to them besides just plain cooking and salt/pepper. Talk about boring. He actually gets his dander up if I mix anything with them. Huh. (Yeah, like if that's about the biggest annoyance I find in him, I'm doing pretty well, yes?) Anyway, the other deal at the store was 2-10 lb. bags of russet potatoes for $5 total. I know what we'll be eating this weekend. :)
I now have to get my brain into a relaxed mode, not fretting about the possibility of ice tonight, and looking forward to a day alone tomorrow. Well, by myself if I can drive the kids to my mom's through hazardous wintery conditions. Not. It's just rainy now. If that stays true, we'll be just fine. This chick needs a break, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Btw, thanks for the comments about the grammar post. You tickled me. And, Dotsie, I don't have a clue as to what I was talking about! But apparently I can do it now, even though I used to couldn't.
