making progress

we made it a week of eating at home. now we're onto week #2. we ended up grocery shopping at costco yesterday, in part because we had been home bound all day, and i was crawling the walls, since the kids were so antsy. we stayed on track, only bought our needs for the week, and $30 later, we were out. we hit up the fruit stand on the way home, and bought plump, ripe peaches. the fruit and veggies were cheaper than i've seen anywhere else, and the quality is amazing.
today is going to be a busy day. we have playgroup in v-town, two mystery shops to do nearby, and stops at the local school districts down south to pick up employment packages. i want to be get myself on their lists, just in case i decide to go through w/ this opportunity. we may hit up my gg shops too, i have gift cards, which $$ have been rolling the free rebate items for months. there's not too much on te list, but somethings i know are rock bottom prices and we'll need once i start baking for the holidays. since i'm not one for paying full price, or shopping last minute, i know i'll get what we need ahead of time. its just a matter of how much we can get done in one day. dh is working late tonight, but i'm making baked eggplant and buttered noodles. i planned on making enough for lunch for tomorrow, but i don't think i have enough eggplant. i may need to stop bythe veggie stand, but considering its right down the street, and its so good, i don't mind swinging by there w/ the kids. i'm sure it'll turn out yummy! have a happy monday everyone!
