Trying to find a routine....

Yay, it's Friday, first week back at school is over, and I can't wait for the weekend to start. Not that I have any plans. It is SO cold outside (at least for us it is), so I don't plan on going anywhere this weekend.

I need to start getting back in to a routine with housework, grocery shopping etc. I've been to the grocery store 3 times this week... I don't even want to say how much I spent! I finally made a meal plan for next week today, so I bought what I needed at the store (still came to over $100!) so hopefully I won't have to go at all til next Friday again. The thing I keep forgetting to do is take my coupons! I'm not a very good collector/user of coupons. I always find that the ones I get or have are for things I never buy anyway - do you find that? I do want to try and get better at using them. Ooh, did I just make a new year resolution? Well, don't hold me to it, I just said I'd try ;-)

Need to jump off here and go do some laundry. If I can get my routine down it should mean all laundry will be done by Friday and I can just enjoy the weekends and relax.

Have a great Friday. I think I'll take the weekend off from blogging, so I'll see you Monday :-)

Oh, I so agree Denise! I always have good intentions when it comes to coupons and then..well just fails. I also have a bad habit of forgetting my shopping bags in the trunk of my car, so I end up with more plastic bags! Yuck. Have agood weekend and stay warm. It's cold here too.

I was looking forward to us getting back on a schedule when Caden started back to school after having 6 months off. Well, he went on Monday, had a snow day on Tuesday, went on Wednesday, and didn't go the rest of the week. Kinda blew that idea. I did get our guestroom painted but still feel out of sorts. I haven't left the house since Monday and I am getting cabin fever!

It is so hard to get a routine figured out, but you'll get back into it.

I completely agree with the coupon thing. I don't even try anymore. I ended up buying some of the items I had coupons for because they were a good deal and not because I wanted them.
