Today’s Outing

Today we are out to run a few errands, and the weather is perfect. It is supposed to be 74  today, but only 44 tomorrow. Better get everything done today! Here is the plan:

  • Wal-Mart for Sweet Potatoes and Shredded Cheese (which I forgot last time)
  • Walgreens for Pull-Ups-their brand is on sale this week
  • Visit James at work-hubby is working open to close today
  • Car Wash-the  boy’s might be a little grumpy, but my car is a mess
  • Put away 3 loads of laundry
  • Wash and put away clean dishes
  • Empty Upstairs waste baskets (if needed)
  • Empty Downstairs waste baskets (if needed)
  • Clean the litter-box (much needed)
  • Take out the trash

I wish the warmer weather would stick around just a little longer 😉

I Hate it When That Happens

Today I got both of the boys out, and all of the errands successfully run. We made it in and out of the Post Office in record time. We then went to Walgreens for diapers and drinks for James office fridge, again super speedy trip. I thought since both of the kids are being so good, and I had my next weeks list with me, lets get the Wal-Mart trip over and done with.

I loaded up Dylan in the Snugli (for the 3rd time) and Thade in the cart, and we began the massive trip. I had a huge list for next week, and Wal-Mart was packed. It took us over an hour, and I was one tired Mommy after all of that shopping. James greeted us at the door and helped unload the car, thanks again hubby.

I was putting away all of the groceries and I realized I forgot one thing… I had walked right past it twice, but failed to pick up one little package of shredded cheese for next Friday’s meal. I hate it when that happens, all of the shopping, two kids in and out of the car, and carts, and I forget one thing! GRRRRR!

I guess I’ll have to make another trip out either Monday or Tuesday, and try to beat the Thanksgiving rush. I’m sure we’ll run out of something else between now and then 😉

Errands and More Errands

This has been one of those weeks… Usually I shop 2 places on Monday, and then we are good to go until next Monday, but it is Friday, and we are out of everything. I’m going to have to make another run to the stores today, and it is super windy outside. Dylan is down for a nap, and I’m scrambling to get my lists and coupons together. Here is the plan for today:

  • Walgreens- for diapers and to stock James office fridge
  •  Wal-Mart-for baby food and everything else
  • Post Office
  • Wash at least 3 loads of laundry, some how I have 5 loads
  • Bring the trash cans to the back-yard
  • Vacuum the Living-room

We’ll see what I get done today, I hope the boys will be good for all of the trips in and out of the car and carts 😉

70s Today :)

I’m very happy to report this, the weather today is supposed to be great with the temperature in the 70s! I had better take advantage of the great weather and get the kids out to play. Thade is ready to go out and stomp on all of the fallen leaves.

The nicer weather also gives me a little more time to shop for space heaters for the upstairs. I’m looking for three, at a good price. I see lots of online comparison shopping in my future 🙂

I love Walgreens! They have great sales, and our local store is rarely too busy. I can get in and out of the store in twenty minutes, have a full cart, and spend very little. Yesterday I only spent $14.08, here are the great deals that I came home with:

  • 2 packages of Necco Mary Jane’s Peanut Butter Kisses for $.20
  • 2 packages of Brachs Caramel Candy Corn for $.20
  • 3 Walgreens Orange Sodas for $2.37
  • 3 Deer Field Farms Vanilla Cream Soda for $3.87
  • 2 Boxes of Kleenex Tissues for $1.99 ($1.78 ea at Wal-Mart)
  • 1 5lb bag of Domino Sugar for $1.99
  • Walgreens Cashews for $1.99
  • Betty Crocker Chocolate Icing for $.49 (I used 2 coupons to get the great price)
  • 1 13oz Folgers Coffee for $1.99 ($3.18 at Wal-Mart)

Grand total with tax $14.08! I had $6.39 in Walgreens sales items and coupons. I was super happy with my great finds 🙂
