Barefoot and Pregnant

Posted 10-12-2009 at 06:37 PM by MommyMeghan
That is how I felt yesterday, except I wasn't barefoot, and I sure am not pregnant. I made Chicken Noodle Soup, homemade, I really did it. Better yet, it was good! I was amazed. Who'd of thunk it? I really think that I got this home cooking thing down. My oldest son loved it, my youngest not so much. My DH thought it was the best thing in the world, and I am sure my great grandma rolled over in her grave. I remember telling her once that if it came in a can I didn't need to cook it. Good thing she made me sit there and taught me anyways. So I figured it up and it cost me $2.15 for the picnic pack of chicken, $0.78 for the carrots, $0.25 for the celery, egg noodles $0.99, and the spices we will consider to be nothing. SO for $4.17 I made 10 cans worth of Campbell's Chunky Chicken noodle soup. Those cans were on sale for $2.39 each this weekend. I saved $19.73 cooking my own. WOW!

Jumping right in

Posted 10-08-2009 at 11:09 AM by MommyMeghan
So last night I wrote some of my 10 page essay due on Sunday. I have been writing for about 20 minutes a night. I also made dinner, french toast. Kids love it when we have breakfast for dinner. The sale ads came out yesterday so tonite I have to make the grocery list. $60 for the next 2 weeks. Hopefully I can stretch that dollar. I decided that I am going to clean the house one part at a time. Last night I cleaned the junk pile of the end of the counter. A lot of useless stuff there. I threw a bunch of old mail in the shredder and the rest is in a bag, waiting to be put away. I feel as though I am transfering piles to other parts of the house but oh well. Today is going to be horiibly busy at work, with taxes due in a week, but hopefully I won't have to bring it home with me tonite. Tonite I clean the top of the microwave and fridge. Yuck!!! I have been asking my children to clean their room for 15 minutes every night this week. They haven't touched it. Tonight I turn into mean mommy and they are picking up something. Well I am off for today. Everyone have a great one.

Here we go!

Posted 10-07-2009 at 01:00 PM by MommyMeghan
So today I have a new outlook on life. I am determined to be the best Mom, Wife, Student, Employee, Chef, and Housekeeper that I am capable fo being. I am tired of thing slipping through my fingers. My house is a disaster, we are up to our eyeballs in debt, I can't cook dinner because I have no idea what I have in the fridge or pantry, and my kids have no jeans (pretty sure they are at the bottom of one of there 7, yep 7, toy boxes). We have spoiled our children, spent money we didn't have, and just become lazy when it comes to money and our household. I will post here, as much as possible, so we can all laugh at my future failures. After lots of research I have a plan! Now sticking to that plan... well we will see. I have a notebook! That was the first step. Now can anyone help me find an extra say 5 hours a day. Lol! I imagine that this is going to be hard and I will regret it at times. But I am sticking to it and by posting here, I am holding myself accountable to let you all know how successful, lol yeah right, I am going to be at this. Have a great day, come back tomorrow when all my fun starts.
