*review today's mail
*put 1 load of clothes in wash
*review to-do list
*discuss insurance w/ DH
*lights out!

B = toast w/ honey, water

cafeteria near my work)

Well, I was supposed to work two hours, but ended up working five since two people were out sick and one is on vacation (in a department of seven!). Then I came home, ate lunch and laid down for fifteen minutes. I went to get the boys and supervised chores and homework.

Breakfast--cereal, melon and toast
Lunch--leftover pasta with some chicken cut up in it and melon
Dinner--pork roast, baked potatoes, watermelon (defferent from the honeydew at B & L) and corn on the cob.

Dinner was very frugal--our neighbors gave us the melon and corn and the roast cost a hole BUCK! I figure dinner cost us about $1.25 for the four of us!
