I swear I have lived at Wal-Mart this past week. My brother and I took the boys on Friday. I finally got Thade’s new jammies and shoes, and a few things for the house. James and I took the boys out on Saturday, we needed an appliance cord, and I talked James into buying me the new Harry Potter.
We have to go out today for groceries for the week, get gas, and run to the post office too. Dylan is sleeping in today. As soon as he is up and fed, we are headed out the door.
Last night Dylan was sleeping soundly in his crib, and Thade was snoozing away too. It was already 11:00 p.m., and I thought I had better try to get in an hour or two of sleep before it was time to feed Dylan at 1:00 a.m. I asked my husband to wake me up whenever he heard Dylan, and he said that he would.
James woke me up at 2:00 a.m. to feed Dylan, and I was really surprised to see that Dylan had slept that long. He hadn’t, Dylan woke right up at 11:30 p.m., and James held him until 2:00 a.m., just so I could catch up on some sleep. My husband is such a sweetheart, and I really appreciated the uninterrupted sleep.
Yesterday Thade wanted to shop at our local $1 Store. He had earned some chore money, and it was burning a hole in his pocket. I knew we were headed for whatever toy car he could find, so I tried to browse the aisles as quickly as I could.
I found lots of great treasures too. Cute coffee cups, kitchen utensils, canvas totes, and even organizational bins. I’ll have to take a little extra money the next time we visit, and get a few items for me too.
What great treasures have you found at your local $1.00 Shop?
Today I woke up with a gigantic migraine, and with 2 screaming boys. I did not feel like going shopping at Wal-Mart today. I know, I’m a big slacker, I was supposed to go yesterday, the weather wasn’t cooperating. Anyway I decided to run to Dollar General for cat litter. I am so happy that I made the trip. I found Hartz Ph5 litter 8 lbs for just $1.00 ( $1.07 with tax). I’m going to start buying the kitty supplies there from now on.
I thought it would be nice to have some freshly baked brownies for my hubby when he got home tonight. I gathered my supplies and got to baking. When I pulled the brownies out of the oven, I noticed that they looked a little flat. Maybe it is the humidity that flattened my brownies. Oh no, I had forgotten to add the 1/4 cup of water. I tried one out, and it is still pretty tasty, just a little chewy.
I think the sleep deprivation is starting to get to me 😉
