Friday,pushing through

     I made myself sew yesterday.  My mood was awful and I was in tears off and on.  I am usually pretty even tempered, but yesterday was just not a good day. I just piled up a large group of things that needed to be done and told myself that I was not moving out of my sewing chair until 5 o'clock. It seemed to work as I had a good total for the day and I left a pile of things to do this morning.

     My daughter and her husband and Scmills (William) are coming down this afternoon to stay for the next couple of days so that is affecting my mood in a positive way.  Nothing like a three year old red headed grandchild to brighten the day.  They will stay through Sunday and then we have to drive to Mc Call to meet up with our other two grandsons.  I need to get off my pout.

     I found a dime while getting groceries the other night.  So that is a win. I also was able to find pork and beans (Van Kamp) on sale for .39 so I bought a case.  We have a bean hot dish we love that uses these.  It is a great summer staple and also good for cold winter nights.  Cheap and filling.  There were good sales for the weekend, so I was able to pick up ground beef 85/15 for 1.99 a lb which I need to go a repackage.  Also corn on the cob and artichokes at great prices.  We are eating lettuce ,onions, and radishes out of our garden  Albertsons had a free item of aluminum foil, so I picked that up. Just a few things that save money around here.

    As I have company coming I need to get busy.  Thanks goodness the sheets are clean on the beds. But the house needs love and I have to get some sewing done.  I feel a list coming on so bear with me.

1. get sewing piles done that are around the machine
2, meet with bride and decide on lace
3. alter 8 pairs of baseball pants
4. straighten downstairs bath
5. finish laundry and put away
6. get toys put away in downstairs closet
7. vacuum basement/sweep
8. clean up dogs mess (torn up paper)
9. make beds
10. take care of burger in fridge
11. clean spare bath
12. clean master bath
13. enjoy daughter and grandson and son-in-law.

     I think I can do this although I am dreading the 8 pairs of baseball pants.  I can do it.

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

  3. I like a good list. It gives me direction, and a sense of accomplishment to check off the items. Gotta admit, I do the quickest and easiest things first, just to get that satisfaction. Then it looks like I have less to do.

  7. Lists are good. I can have a mental list, but HeWho procrastinates has to have a written one. Even with that he still needs reminders, or nagging from me!

    1. I could never give Hubs one as he would throw it away or lose it.

  8. I'm sorry you were not having a good day yesterday. You found a great deal on the Pork and Beans. I would have bought a case of those too. I hope today was a better day for you.
