One Day a Week

-
Since my dh's paid for truck is not working right now we are sharing my car. So, each week right now I get it one day a week for my weekly drs appt. Next week I will need it two days because I could not reschedule one of my appts. Do you know how hard it is to runs all of your errands in one day?!? I am finding it near impossible without wearing myself out. Most Thursday (my normal car day) I have my doctor's appointment, I go to the post office, the cross stitch shop to either pay supplies or to have something framed, run an errand or two for my dh and try to go to the grocery store. By the time I get home it is time to pick up dh from his carpool. That is not counting dealing with the dog and making sure that something for dinner is out and thawing.

I need to be more organized on Thursday's. This morning I had to have the car at the tire place at 7:00 because of tire light went on a couple of days ago but dh tells me about it this morning on my way to drop him off for his carpool. He has left it with the gas light on and I had to stop at the first gas station. Came home to grab my piece to be framed and ran back out I am home right now because I needed to take my pain med before I run back out. At least tomorrow is an at home day. Yeah !!!!!!!

Hope everyone has a blessed day.

    Situations like this are tough - but at least you know what you need to plan for - and you have a whole to week to get ready for next Thursday.

    I don't know about your town, but the stores in my town are so busy on the
    1st of every month because Govt. money is paid on that day.
    the stores we were at today were so crowded and it took longer to do the little bit of shopping of I needed to do.

    hope your next errand day goes better!

Today has been a busy day.  My daughter had all four wisdom teeth taken out and I had two doctors appointments - all before noon.  Thank goodness for her boyfriend who came to take her home for me and stayed until I got back.  My sweet daughter doesn't handle pain really well and we couldn't get her pain meds until I got back with the car.  Poor thing.  She just woke up very hungry so I have homemade chicken noodle soup on the stove smelling wonderful.  Dad and I will have grilled cheese sandwiches with it.  Perfect for a rainy night.   Well my dear son, Ian has officially withdrawn from college and has applied at a tech school.  He wants to study computer IT and found out that there is a nine month wait to get into the program.  So now he needs to find a day job to go with his night job.  His night job only gives him 20-27 hours a week and he will need more than that.  He is thinking of applying to substitute teach for the county.  His finance knows that this will delay the we...

I am back .....

I am starting to feel a little better and now dh is getting sick again. Wow we just can't get a break. I basically missed the entire month of May. So sad. Just was our 28th wedding anniversary. I can't believe that it has been that long already. We went to Cheekwood in Nashville to walk through the gardens. It is absolutely beautiful. We walked for two and a half hours and still didn't see everything. It was an absolutely amazing day weather wise which really helped also. We ate an early dinner at Ruby Tuesdays and then home for the night. By the time we finally got home my feet had swelled but it was still a wonderful day. Today I am working on this month's budget. Boy is it going to be a tight month. My birthday is next Saturday, thought I don't expect anything since money is tight also David has a workshop on the 4th which he will be on his own for lunch and then another class at the end of the month though it is only half a day. We are hoping to b...

Stretching Your Food Budget

Now, I don't claim to be an expert by any stretch of the imagination.  However, I have seen more then my fair share of lean months.  Back when dh worked at a private school his paycheck would only cover the mortgage, the car insurance and the life insurance.  I had to make everything else and if I had been sick or one of the children sick then my paycheck would be short.  In recent memory, I have had to feed four adults (my children are 19 and 21 now) on $50 a week.  Like everyone else, who has been to the supermarket recently, I have been concerned up the steady climb of prices and the smaller packaging attached to those price tags.  Most women, through choice or necessity, work outside the home now and don't have time for "cooking from scratch".  At church on Sunday I heard, "well of course you can do that (I don't remember what now) you stay home all day."  Now I am a SAHM due to my disability and in that I do have more time than some folks but there ...
