Today I haven’t had time to turn around. The boys are skipping naps, and Hurricane Thade has been busy trashing every room in the house. Dylan was up last night on the hour, so mommy did not get too much sleep. I’m so tired today, and there is still a pile of dishes to be done in the kitchen. I’m tempted to call it a night, and finish them tomorrow.

A Change in the Menu
With the weather as hot as it is this week, I’m trying to keep the boys indoors and cool. I’ll be running to the store in the evening for just the essentials. I decided to take stock of my freezer and pantry and see what meals I could make for this week. The change in the menu will help out with the budget too. Here are the changes to the menu:
7/9/07: Steak and Shrimp, Green Beans, and Rice
7/10/07: Lasagna, Green Beans, and Garlic Bread
7/11/07: Beef w/ Rice-A-Roni, Green Beans, and Hominy
7/12/07: Salmon Cakes, Corn, and Rice
7/13/07: Chicken Nuggets, Mac and Cheese, Fries
7/14/07: Grilled Chicken, Fried Rice, and Green Beans
I had all of the items stockpiled, which makes for easy menu planning. I hope that we get a break in the hot weather soon.
The clean up after a holiday
I hope that everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July. We had a small B-B-Q indoors (the backyard is still a mud pit), and we did fireworks with the kids in the evening. It was a pretty small get together this year, my mother in law couldn’t make it in(work), my brother was celebrating with co-workers, and his girlfriend was celebrating with her family. It was just our family, my sister in law, and my mom. A little group, but we had plenty of food.
Here is the plan for today:
*Dakota vet appointment at 4:00 p.m.
*Pick up the front yard
*Clean the kitchen
*Clean the utility room
*Wash and put away 3 loads of laundry
The boys are still sleeping, so I had better go and get started cleaning up the mess in the kitchen.
Maybe we should buy a boat
We got out yesterday and checked out the flood waters. The rain has stopped for today, but there is still a chance for more rain in the next two days. We had severe flooding through out the town, and many of the roads and bridges were completely flooded.
We are all fine here, and I’m just hoping for no more rain anytime soon.
Coupon Savings for June
Another month already, and such a rainy start here. I’ve totaled up my coupon savings for June, and I’m happy with the results: $45.58! Yahoo for me! That brings my year to date savings up to $115.47, all with coupons.
