Moldy, prayers going out for your Hubby!
Sapphire, thanks for letting me know the hams were a good deal; I'd forgotten to check the regular price!
They were a tiny bit salty, texture was softer than a regular ham but not mushy; and the flavor was good grilled, in ham salad, and chopped in an omelet; I can say that I recommend them.
Great deal on the laundry soap and ribeyes, Prudentwatcher!
Patience; nice to meet you! I, too, am enjoying your story (and Kathy's as well! I usually read on my tablet and would rather take a beating than type on it, so I havne't said "Thanks!" before.)
Anna, you will love your AA!
Well, best laid plans... and all that. I was out busily working in the garden when my phone rang at 2 pm Tuesday afternoon - daughter, asking me "Just how bad do you want MGS to go to that private preschool?"
"Um, why?"
"Today is registration; there are 20 openings, registration doesn't start til 5:30, and there are already 10 people in line. If you want him in it, you're either going to need to watch the boys or come sit in line."
"It'll be the boys; I'm covered in dirt. See you in 20..."
Headed for town, stopped at CVS to pick up a couple gallons of milk that was on sale for $2.79/gallon, picked up the boys, handed daughter a paperback book and lawn chair, whipped by the gas station to fill the car, and headed back for home. Had to play with the boys for a bit until they were content to play by themselves, but did manage to get all the tomato cages and pole bean fences down and stacked before they started howling for supper. Blessed my lazy self for picking up a couple of those frozen chicken, veggies, and pasta bagged meals at the store the other day; settled the boys in front of cartoons with glasses of milk, then tossed one of the bags in a cassarole dish and put it in the nuker. 10 minutes later, I took it out and dumped some cheddar cheese sauce on it, couple minutes after that they were happily chowing down, and I was able to sneak to the downstairs pantry and bring up a couple of pint jars of peaches for dessert. Didn't get the last area of brush cleaned up; Hubby brought the tractor and trailer up to the shed and got them put away after supper. Daughter picked up the boys around 7:30; I was in and out of the tub and tucked in bed asleep well before 9!
Up early yesterday, baked a pan of blueberry muffins (mix from Salvage Store - 90 cents), then did some general cleaning, got my scrubs ready for work, and prepped a few things for my work lunches. Headed out to a bigger city where my cousin works preparing taxes and met up with her - had to pay in over and above our deductions, but got half of what we paid in to the feds back in state taxes, so it didn't hurt as bad as it could. Took her out to lunch at Bob Evan's; had some wonderful blackened fish - first time I've not taken half my entree home for later, it was that yummy! Got home with about 45 minutes to spare before I had to get ready for work - no nap, darn it!
Stopped on the way home from work this morning and picked up 4 dozen eggs at Walgreen's - on sale for $1.29/doz. Then I popped in to CVS and picked up 6 of the DAK 1# canned hams to go with them LOL! I did check the regular price this time - $3.75 each; but they were still on sale 2/$5, so $15. I'd scanned my card at the magic machine and had gotten my quarterly bucks (every 3 months, you get a rebate of 2% of your spending back); used it to take $4.50 off; paid $11.65 w/tax.
Home, found a note from Hubby on the gutter estimate so had to call them and give them the go-ahead.
It's raining cats and dogs right now; chance of severe thunderstorms this afternoon. I'm trying to decide whether to sleep upstairs, or on the main floor - two flights of stairs vs one to run down if we have a tornado warning!!
Off to bed here in a bit; gotta decide if I want to get up early enough to stop by CVS and pick up 4 more of those hams or not - with a 2018 use by date, I could probably stock twice as many as I've bought...
