I hit up Walmart like night and spent $140.00 worth on groceries.  I thought my hubby was going to faint.  Oh well, the cupboard was bare and we got to eat, plus I needed cat food and litter and that don't come cheap along with four flood lights.  So actually, before taxes I spent about $90.00 on food.  Not bad at all......

Years ago, I remember calling Costco the "Hundred dollar club" because you couldn't get out of there for less than $100.  Well, now Walmart's like that now.  I can't seem to get out of there for less than $100! 

Hello all, hope your holiday was nice, mine was...... Interesting... To say the least. I spent to much money, ate to much food and there was to much drama! But we are home and time to refocus and get ready for Christmas! I love this time of the year!  

My eats:

pre breakfast: coffee with a scoop of peppermint hot cocoa and splash of vanilla cream

breakfast: oatmeal

snack: shake

Lunch: salad

snack: another shake? 

Dinner: tacos I think?

drinking my water and need to take my vits! 

Okay....that was an interesting remark made.  Don't you just love family drama when it doesn't involve you!  We kept ours low keyed this year, everybody showed up......

This weather rollercoaster is crazy this year. We had the thickest fog that I've ever seen Sunday afternoon. It just rolled in off the water and covered everything. WEIRD.

The realization that Christmas is a litle over 3 weeks away has suddenly sunk in today. AGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! How is that possible? way to many things on my list to be done. I've made the monumental decision to just let it go....We'll be out of town for most of the holiday so I'm not going all out on my decorating this year. We're picking up the tree tomorrow night (really good sale til Wednesday at a local builders supply place). The kids can decorate it however they'd like it. I'm doing minimal baking and cooking ---just a few gift items and a work buffet or 2. Thanksgiving was so relaxed. Every year I set myself up for some monumental, over the top perfect celebration for Christmas (regardless of budget) and get completely lost and overwhelmed in the process. Yep, we're going back to basics in more ways than one this year.

Today's looking really good:

Commute : Coffee  (I remembered it this morning)

Breakfast:  Peanut butter on whole wheat toast

lunch:  Broccoli & Cheddar soup (pretty bland)

snack:  Coffee

Dinner:  Moma's house---Beans & Cornbread  -the fellas have to work on the tractor afterwork so she said she was feeding us!!.

I've been sipping my decaf tea all day. I've got the vitamins in for the day. Workout for the day is going to be HOUSEWORK. Might even turn up the stereo and waltz around the house with my handsome fellow tonight. Our celebration last night was shared with the kids...we bought our house. David has rented this house since it was first built. Everything lined up for us to make the move from renting to owning. Life is good and our family has so much to be thankful for...especially this year. In the last 6 months we've gotten married, gotten full custody of "our" 14 year old son, bought our home and seen my Mom through some tough health issues. I'd say it's been a busy year.

Congrats on buying your home !   I finally paid mine off last month.....now if I can only save the money instead of filtering through it !
