Thursday, Meat stock up, finally

     Well before I get started on my tirade today, stop,  run and put .52 cents into your penny bank, those of you who are joining in the pennies a day challenge. Okay ? Done?  I feel so much more empowered now, thanks to Cheryl.

     By the way Sluggy needs to die a slow and tortured death, but I have not figured out how to get
 away with it yet.  Working on my diabolical skills as I type.  Watch your back girl that is all I can say.....

     Okay, I need a swift kick in the butt, (don't I always?).  There is just so much to do here and I don't want to do any of it.  The littles come tomorrow which means nothing will get done.  Plenty will get undone. So as we creep closer and closer to the weekend the things that have to be done are looming large and I still have managed to get as little done as possible.  I mean forget the shop, I am talking the house and other things or obligations I have on my plate.  I guess the fact that this cold is getting more and more miserable everyday could be an excuse, but I keep telling myself to just ride it out and beat it.  No fever or chills so it is just a virus. Or I can blame it on the weather that is sucking the life out of everyone.  Complain, moan, gripe..... feel free to press that mouse at any moment and get out of this misery:)

     Yesterday, in my out and about, I stopped at Albertsons, in the morning and was surprised to find some really good marked down grass fed beef (2 packages) and 6 packages of different steaks.  All was under $2 a pound so I bought it all.  Then onto A& B and found pork ribs and beef all packages $1.76 each.  So I bought it all.  I had gone into A&B because they had ground chuck for $2.99 a pound which is very, very good.  Not ground beef but ground chuck. So I wanted to pick up a few pounds.  I am over my grocery budget for the week by $30.00, but I am okay with that.

     Hubs helped me burst the packages and we sealed all of it with my vacuum sealer.  Now the freezer is stocked with meats.  I need to find a good sale on cheeses and I am sure one will come around soon.

     So before next Monday these are the things I need to do:

1. Make a ham dinner with the fixin's for a family of 7 and us.  What for dessert?
2. clean the church on Saturday morning 9 a.m.
3. prepare a lesson for church as it is my week to teach
4. make a treat for choir practice after church, scones?cookies?
5. get 6 black circle skirts made for high school, they sent me measurements a few weeks ago, in my email someplace.  They open next week and dress starts on Monday.  So maybe I should look into this instead of looking at the bag of material on my floor.
6. How about clean the house you dirty slob you have company coming?
7. you still have 2 zippers, a bridesmaids dress, 3 shirts to alter, and 10 curtain panels to hem and press in the shop.....hmmmm.....

     Now the nice thing about the above list is that nothing has to be done until well Saturday morning, when I will nee to show up at the church ready to clean, but if I wait until after I clean to attack the above list my world will be quite chaotic and stressful, so I probably should get busy on the house the sewing and maybe look up the lesson like today.   Yes today would be good.

     How do you motivate yourself when you are blah?  Come on someone has to have an answer....
Please?  I am saying please.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
