Yesterday I got up early, got the boys dressed and ready to go out and do some shopping. I was motivated and ready to get out of the house. I took the boys down to visit dad at work, and Thade tripped and bonked his head. He didn’t feel like running errands after that, and it was lunch time for the kids, so we headed back home. Both of the boys took a nap after lunch, so I finished up all the laundry. Oh well the shopping did not get done, but the laundry did.

Feeling Trapped by Gas Prices
Gas is so high here $3.29, and it is going up again this evening. I’m feeling a little trapped by these rising gas prices. I’m a stay at home mom, and now I’m really a stay at home mom. My few trips out are going to get cut even more to try and save a little.
I shop out of town at Walgreen’s and Aldi to save, but a 40 mile round trip is now going to cost me about $7.00. That eats up my savings. What to do. My shopping choices are pretty limited here, but we are getting a Walgreen’s in the future so that will help. I still plan on shopping at Aldi too so that will cost me in gas. I guess the best thing that I can do is organize my shopping trip, and plan ahead.
Does anyone have any good plans for saving during the gas price increase? Please feel free to leave your suggestions and comments.
To Do List Today
Well I didn’t get the kids out to go shopping yesterday. They actually both took a nap at the same time, so I took advantage of the break and got a few extra things done around the house. Here is today’s list:
*Bring down dirty clothes from upstairs
*Put away 3 loads of laundry
*Wash and put away dishes
*Take James lunch at work
*Feed and water kitties (2x)
*Maybe go to Walgreen’s (great sale I have to get there by Saturday)
*Empty wastebaskets upstairs and downstairs
*Take out the trash
It has been a long morning already, both of the boys were up all night with stuffy noses (allergies), and Dylan was ready to eat at 4:00 a.m. I didn’t get too much sleep, maybe 3 hours. I’m also trying to get Thade to eat new foods so I don’t have to cook 12 different meals everyday. He is protesting his breakfast today, it is waffles, not too scary… It is going to be one of those days today.
New Baby
It has been quite a busy year for us. On March 26Th we welcomed our second baby, a little boy named Dylan. After 12 hours of labor I had to have a c-section. I have had quite a time recovering from surgery. Things are better now, and I’m trying my hardest to get a schedule down, but its tricky.
Thade is doing great, he is three, and loves being a big brother. He tries to help out as much as possible, and he is really good at waking up his little brother. Right now he is coloring pictures of outer space, so I had better find a spot on the fridge.
I’m pretty tired and having quite a time keeping up with it all. We are working on lots of projects around the house, and I can finally paint again. I’m looking forward to getting lots done, whenever I have the time.
To Do List Today
I’m feeling way better today. I didn’t get everything done on my list yesterday, so I might try to get everything done today.
*Put away 2 loads of laundry
*Wash 2 loads of laundry
*Clean Kitchen Surfaces
*Wash and put away dishes
*Take the kids shopping
*Feed and water cats
*Feed and water dog
*Take out the trash
*Bills, and go to the post office (if my 2 cent stamps get here)
I think that is enough for one day. We’ll see what I get accomplished.
