9:25am

My butt is so dragging at the moment.

Still feel crappy!!

Body aches, both hips hurt,

head's floating away

and still talking like Kermit the Frog.

Crappy or not I still managed to

get back over to Kroger this

morning with mom.

And I have managed to get

a yard sale list going for tomorrow.

I have about 2 weeks left before the

kids are out of school for the Summer.

I'm trying my best to find Christmas

presents at these sales for them

while they are in school.

So sick or not I am still 

trying to get around.

I've noticed that for the past

6 days now that the Krogers in

my area haven't really been stocking

shelves.  Lots of bare spots on the

shelves where they have sold out of

stuff since last week.  I have returned 3 times now

in hopes that they have restocked

and they have not.  

It's like their trucks haven't

come in.

I still managed to find the Oscar Mayer

bologna.  I got 8 more packages

for a total of 12.

Reg. $3.19 each x's 12 is $38.28.

I got them ALL FREE!!

With sales and coupons of course.

I just got back home and got

my groceries put away and

some cube steaks put in the crock

with a can of cream of chicken soup

mixed with some soy sauce and

a little water.  Once done I'll 

mix the soup with some rice.

I love my crock pot.  Just throw

stuff in and let it do the work for you

especially when not feeling well

and not wanting to stand at the stove

cooking.

While at Kroger I picked up 

some ham slices, country gravy mix,

sausage and grands biscuits to make

some freezer breakfasts.

Ham Cups

ham- .59 cents

box of cheesy hash browns from

betty crocker- .50 cents

6 eggs scrambled- .48 cents

TOTAL COST- $1.57

not sure how many it will make

until I make them.

I could also do bologna cups

instead of ham cups for around $1.00 to make.

----------------------------------------

Pocket Biscuits

1 can grands biscuits- $1.00

1 can reg. biscuits- .50 cents

sausage gravy mix- $1.19

6 eggs scrambled- .48 cents

2-3 potatoes boiled and cubed- .36 cents

Total cost for about 14-18

pocket breakfast biscuits

with sausage, egg, gravy & potatoes-

 $3.53

2 Hot Pockets cost around $2.19 on sale! 

Or Speedway sells one breakfast filled

biscuit for .99 cents!

I also want to make

up some homemade Belgian Waffles

for the freezer.  Just put in toaster

to heat.

Cake Mix Belgian Waffles

Cake mix .50 cents

4 eggs- .32 cents

1.5 cups milk- .21 cents

Total cost- $1.03

Not sure how many it makes

til I make them.

A box of 10 waffles at the store

run $2 - $3!

So much cheaper to make at home!!

-------------------------------

10:50am


Got another bread going in the 
bread machine.  This is something I
just made up.
It is a Hawaiian bread.
No instructions to this recipe
of mine because if it turns 
out I would like to enter
it into a recipe contest.

Another one of my, set it and forget it,
kitchen appliances I love, lol,
especially when not feeling too well!


--------------------------------

11:20am

Going to go lay down as I have lost
any energy that I had.

I took some ibuprofen due to aches
and I felt as though I was getting warm.
Took my temp and it is around
101 degrees, I think, as these 
digital thermometers suck
when taking readings.
Wish I could find my regular glass
thermometer!
Anyway I'm heading back to bed.
Need to get some rest and feel
better for yard sale day tomorrow!
Night night!


Here's a poem for ya to read-


WHEN MOM IS SICK


------------------------------------


8:10pm


After my nap I felt a little better.
Not 100%, but better.


I managed to work on some
freezer breakfasts.
I got about 6 bologna
and 9 ham cups made.
They each had hash browns,
scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese in them.

I then made a mixture of 
sausage gravy, cubed potatoes,
scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese & sausage.
I snipped open one side of
a grands biscuit then filled
it with the breakfast mix.
It kind of looked like a breakfast taco.

The remaining sausage & potato mixture
was scooped by teaspoonfuls and 
put on top of regular sized biscuits.
They were too small to fill like
the grands biscuits.
They're almost like mini
breakfast pizzas.

Well I got all this made, supper served,
and Tony's lunch packed for tomorrow.
Tony got the backyard mowed.

It's only 8:20 but I think
I'm going to head to bed and watch
some tv.
