9:15am

Got a load of dishes in the dishwasher.

Getting ready to finish up the laundry.

Have a load in dryer, washer and

one more load to go.

I really should wash up all the blankets

and bedding this week and

put on the clothesline to dry.

We'll see how motivated and how

much energy I have first.

Breakfast was easy this morning.

Threw some leftover homemade blueberry

waffles in the toaster and served

with cream cheese filled strawberries.

Sugar-free syrup on top.

I don't add butter as that

only adds to the fat intake.

 

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

For supper tonight we'll have beef stew.

I bought 2 cans of beef stew from 

Aldis last week.  I'll cube up a few

extra potatoes that needs used up.

Maybe add a can of green beans

and a sliced up onion

to throw into it as well to stretch it further.

I'll boil up the cubed potatoes first

then throw everything in the crock

later on this afternoon to warm up.

Lunch will be grilled cheese.

Something simple.

Family Dollar Father's Day gift idea-
Solid color polo shirts $4.00.

27 Family Dollar Printable Coupons.
I don't think you can combine their
store coupons with manufacture coupons.
I tried it once and it didn't work out for me.

Got supper started.

cut up in quarters along with a couple
tablespoons of butter and steak sauce.
Season with Mrs. Dash.
Saute until tender then stir into
crock pot.

getting completely cooked in the crock.

purse that I found in the last couple
of days.

I tried this afternoon to get my new
printer up and running.  Didn't have
much luck.  Tomorrow I might try it
on a different computer.
Whatever works to print coupons.

8:50pm


Don't know what it is when the evening rolls
around.  It seems like if I slow down 
my body starts hurting.  Time to pop
some ibuprofen and go lay down soon.
Tony still has his hacking cough.
I'm still blowing my nose several
times a day.  I've been going at this
for over a month now.  Tony's
had his for 5 days now.

Gonna go lay down now,
night night.
