...or in my case, a shower, toilet, and overall the whole bathroom. The shower is done! Woohoo! After a few trips to Tyler and more demo and fixes and remeasuring, and trying to make time for unexpected installers, the shower is DONE! This almost 10 month project is on the downhill slide. Let's see now, all that is left is to retexture and paint the walls, tile the floor, reinstall the toilet, and paint and distress the cabinet. Wait, now that I have typed it all out, it seems like I'm still climbing up that home improvement hill. Oh well, it keeps me busy.
On my last shopping trip I had $4.50 in coupons. Brookshires was having a buy one get one for one cent deal. I was able to purchase bread, sausage, gatorade, & sliced cheese using the one cent deal. That alone was a savings of $11.92! These are also items I would normally purchase, so I wasn't just buying something for the sake of having a coupon. Of course I didn't buy everything for less than half my total after savings of $113.22, but hey, it's a good start for my family of 5. I am especially glad I spent so little considering I had to purchase a big bag of cat food, cat litter, and diapers. (Most of the time, I will opt for the store brand rather than name brand on some items. This is a trial and error with some items since not all things are created equal. I prefer Huggies over generic when it comes to diapers, Parents Choice baby wipes over named brand, and Great Value 24 hour allergy over Claritin. This is just something you have to figure out what works better for you and your family.) I was also able to plan my menu for the week with this budget and forwarding a couple of days from last week to help keep from over spending. Just for kicks, here is my menu thus far starting with Thursday: ...and helpful.

Would you leave your half done grocery shopping?
Helped put the laundry in the dryer.
Peeled off some wall border in his bathroom.
Got creative with a dry erase marker on the wall and his mouth.
And tried balancing on his head.
I guess since Bri and Colton are at school now he gets a little bored. I don't have time to get bored keeping an eye out for his next stunt.
...because we all can relate, right? (Don't forget to pause my playlist on the left first)
This sounds so much like my daily 'routine.' And yes, I have to say 'the usual' also. Be sure and watch her other songs. Too funny! Thanks, Julie L. I needed this after today.
