If you are reading this it means you are alive and have survived this week. It doesn't matter how you survived only that you did. I had an adventurous day yesterday. Nothing terrible but not what I was expecting. We had a morning appointment that lasted longer that planned. While my son was nice and warm in a dental chair I was in the waiting area where it was below 60 degrees. The plan was to be home by noon but that didn't work out and we weren't home until 2:30. I had driven my hubby to work and I needed to leave at 3:30 to pick him up on time. I fed and watered all our outside animals. With these below freezing temps keeping them with water has been fun. I hopped in the car got to his work on time and he texted to tell me he had to stay a bit later. I am sitting there thinking "if we get home at 5 and I start cooking then it wont be done until 6 or 6;30 and I will have to mess to clean up and I am really tired and blah blah blah". I ordered chinese from my phone and we swung by to get it on the way home. Momma can relax and everyone is happy.
The point I am trying to make is you can have all the plans in the world one little thing can throw off your game and thats okay. My hubby was probably confused by my sitting in a cold waiting room for several hours making me so tired but a few weeks ago when a car ran a light and totally smashed up our car I insisted on coming home and making homemade pizza when he suggested we grab something out.
I had lots of freezer meals made up to last us from Thanksgiving to Christmas. With our kids being our of school and everyone staying around home I didnt worry too much about cooking and what we were having. Next week everyone will be at work, at school, staying later, going out with friends that are back in town and I will be back in plan mode. I dont think it would hurt to have a few freezer meals ready for future hiccups in my schedule. Maybe even a few things that could be heated up on the wood stove just in case we loose power.
On to the weekend. We always try watch a newly released movie on the weekend. The first of July I purchased a Redbox gift card worth $20 for $12. Using Deals texts from Redbox a few times over the year, codes from Retail Me Not and free movies using the Play Pass on the Redbox website we have watched around 22 movies and still have $6 left on the card. I think we have decided on watching Flatliners and that will put us eligible for another free rental the next time we rent one. I have no idea why this makes me so giddy. I guess all the money I save on movie rentals I can use to buy chinese food.
Do you sign up for text deals at places? I have started signing up for quite a few over the past few months and have gotten so pretty great food deals. Teenage boys are always willing to help you use buy 1 get 1 anything fast food deals.
Besides a movie we are having a family lunch tomorrow with appetizers. I will share those recipes if they are a hit. I think the sweltering 40 degrees its suppose to be on Sunday will have Mr Ladybug in the pigeon loft. I am hoping he doesnt mind me blogging about our racing season, We took last year off but hope to have fun with this hobby again. I am going to be throwing out the broccoli sprouts. A week and a half and only these tiny little things, They also smell weird. I will try radish and alfalfa. Hopefully its just the broccoli seeds. We will also be setting up our seed starting station. Thats always exciting.
