Waste Not Wednesday, March 17

**gapeach** · 03-17-2010, 06:45 AM

Good morning everyone. Today I need to dust, sweep and vacuum. I also need to go buy some shrimp for a dish for a fundraiser on Thursday. I hope everyone has a great day.

It's really waste not Wednesday today. We're down to the nubbins and I can't shop until Friday. We've got the basics but no snicky snacks so

I'm turning some frozen bananas into banana bread.
I'm turning some leftover pumpkin into pumpkin bread.
I'm thawing out some home packaged pears since we've gone through the fresh fruit.
I'm making no bake cookies because the breads will use all the eggs.
I'm going to make a big bowl of popcorn and put it in baggies for the kids to grab.

I feel you JoyofSix. Great idea to make premade snacks. We have a lot of money going out next week so I am trying not to spend myself. I am going to steal some of your ideas.

Today I have
-eaten at home
- no gas being used
- heat set low
- little electricity being used
- been on the phone most of the day solving an expensive work situation
- hoping for things to improve

Looking for the Positives
- Saved money on school pics - posted about this on blog
- Got prescription refund today
- Filling out rebate form for Prevacid today for $25.00
- Son is feeling better after being sick so no doctor's visit
- Four wonderful children
- Super Husband who works hard

Okay, that helped. I feel much better about having to pay out thousands of dollars to keep business running. Hope the economy improves soon.

We slept in again. I love having my kids home for spring break!!!

*Dropped DD off at the museum for her volunteer shift.
*Cooking some beans to go into a pot of taco soup.
*Cleaned up dog puke. Fun - NOT!!!
*Dealing with a crappy headache.

Going to be lazy for the rest of the day. DS and DH are going to the gym. DS is up to leg pressing over 700 lbs and still going strong. - getting ready for football season. DD is spending the night with my mom. Tonight I will have a couple of hours all to myself.

Happy Wednesday! After having the worst case of flu I've had in 15 years, I am now back to the land of the living! The kids are happy to have Mom back up and running!

Today I went to work where I was overloaded. And that was GREAT! I work in the trucking/moving industry as a revenue accounting clerk, and it has been a very slow winter! So I was happy to be busy. Now that I'm home, I have vacuumed the living room carpet where youngest dd dumped her pixos and everybody pretended like they weren't there while mom was sick. Now I'm hanging with my two oldest kiddos before I have to pick up the youngest from Daisy Scouts.

I think I'll do a load of laundry tonight, and need to e-file my taxes tonight. I've been waiting for dh to come home and double check my work, but that's just not gonna happen!

Have a great evening!

Hi ladies. It's late but at least I made it. I did my usual 8 hours at work. I had to stop and pick up a gallon of milk on the way home. It's a short list but this is what I've done...

put a load of clothes in the dryer
fixed dinner
dusted frontroom
dishes

I still need to get some reading done before bedtime.

I haven't been able to get on in a while I sure have missed being here. Today I had to leave work dd had an alergic reaction to medicine so I rushed home to check on her. After we spoke with pharmacy and then finally the Dr. Both advised to give benadryl and if she got worse to go to er which she didnt we were able to relax I was able to pick up my youngest at after school child care. We had left overs for lunch and supper. Printed out some math sheets for youngest dd. I am now in the beginning stages of a migraine. Took meds myself hope they kick in soooon. Layed out dh cloths for morning for work. I think I am hitting bed soon.

Happy St Paddy Day!
Late in the evening already.
Cut some overgrown succulent plant & gave them to a friend.
A very busy day of work, a transition time of the new company taking over the old one, some loose ends to tie up.
We are having taco (home cooked) at home.
Relax afterwards.

Wow. Good planning, joyofsix!! Making due till shopping day....

No bake cookies were always a hit in this house! And popcorn. Oh, now I have to go lick my wounds, cause my boys are grown and halfway across the country, and I miss them........

I'm going to start cleaning, decluttering and organizing in the dining room. DH dumped off all of his stuff in there when we came home from up north. Plus it is dusty dirty.

Then work my way into the living room + foyer + up the stairs, I hope. Where's my orange furniture oil?
