It sounds cliché, I know, but THANK GOD IT’s FRIDAY. It’s been an incredibly loooooong and jam-packed week. And today, I feel every bit of it.
This is not good, considering that I still have to make it through today and I’ve got a lot going on. It’s great to be busy again. I need to keep reminding myself of that.
On the plus side, there’s an incredible sunrise unfolding. After yesterday, I can’t help but feel at least a little grateful to see it.
I got home about 6:20 last night as the sun was already trying to make good its escape. I threw my stuff down, changed clothes and ran out to finish the lawn. I was delayed momentarily by the mother who wanted me to see her progress on Pimp My Shed. She had painted all the boards I got up. Now all she’ll needs to do is the trim once I get that in place tomorrow. (Photos aren’t far off. I’ve just been really busy.)
When I finished the yard and put things away, I went in and started taking care of the fur fiends. I grabbed a quick bite, got cleaned up, and headed for Wal-Mart. This was a necessary evil as I was out of allergy drugs. After that, the grocery store, as it was $10 night (off a $50 purchase). They seem to be having those with increasing regularity. Fine by me as each time I go, things seem to cost more and more. I don’t know how families make it. Between the $10 and another $2.50 in coupons, I managed to spend right around $50. And there’s still not a lot of food in the house except Lean Cuisine.
By the time I got home, got things inside and went out to assess what materials I will need to pick up tonight, it was nearly 10 p.m. Yes, I’m headed to Hardware Heaven this evening. How could it possibly be a weekend without such a trip?

Happy Friday to you, too! Have fun at hardware heaven.
Funny how food prices are... you can buy a bag of food that will fill one shelf in the pantry for $50. Sigh!
Oh man, how 'bout it! Food is nuts. And you never get everything you need!!
I'm so glad it's Friday. Cliche or not!
You should try feeding a teenager who is always ravenous. He wipes out everything in the house. I came home from shopping at said $10 off store and he was eating crackers with barbeque sauce. He looks up and says "I'm glad you're home, I'm starving". I go thru 2 gallons of milk in 5 days with two kids. I need a cow.
Honestly, I think I spend more on our dogs' food than ours!!!!!! They, of course, eat organic, range free and all that crap!
Jennifer -- Hardware Heaven is always fun. *rolling eyes*
I'm stunned at the grocery store these days. Something that used to cost this, now costs at least 3o percent more! It seems to be just about everything.
Desi -- EXACTLY! I just went to fix some cereal. BIG prob: I don't HAVE any cereal. Or milk ...
CD -- My hat is off to you. No idea how you feed one of those teenage machines. It's worse than keeping a car (with the worst gas mileage imaginable) full!
Ann -- TELL ME! Of that $50, I spent, it's almost a 50/50 split between us and them. But I guess they're worth it. Most days. :-)
