NSM Week 3

It's week three of NSM, and we're still going strong.  We've cheated a bit more, but it's all within reason.

Our cheats:
Valetine's Dessert on Friday $5.29
Valentine's Supper on Saturday $23.47
Both were related to V-day, so I consider those an exception to the rule!
Candy from B-ball game I worked on Tuesday- $2.40.  Come on, ya'll, nobody can resist Laffy Taffy with the little purple sprinkles on them!

Our Menu this week:
Sunday- Leftovers (Zach will have food from lunch from Mama Joyce's and I'll have Sally's!)
Monday- Supreme Nacho Cheese Pasta
Tuesday- Sweet and Sour Chicken with rice and a side-salad with hard-boiled egg, crackers, and Mullen French dressing! Yum!
Wednesday- Weeeeeell, I may have gotten a tempting text from Qdoba saying that if you come in today, you can try their new flavors of queso on your burrito for free.  This is what I get for not fully planning my meals before the week started! Temptation.   For Shame, for shame.   If we decide to resist tempation, we'll have sloppy joes with salad and green peas.
Thursday- SF for me, and leftovers for Zach.
Friday- Mama Joyce's birthday, so we will be eating at her house!  Not sure what we're having yet, but no doubt, it'll be delicious!
Saturday- Enchiladas! Ole! and corn.

Funny moment from this past week- One night I had a string of weird/freaky dreams, but one was pretty funny.  I dreamed that I was a Hobby Lobby/ Jo Ann type store, but it was neither of them.  I was walking around so excited as I picked up home decor items, fabric, paints, vases, and other odds and ends.  I was so giddy and was elated that my cart-full of items was on $60 after my coupon.  Even in my dream though, I was thinking, "I am so bad for buying this during No-Spend Month!"   So, even in my dreams I'm thinking about NSM.  And how sad is it that I dreamt about shopping?  Maybe Zach's idea about me being a shop-a-holic isn't far off the mark! Haha!

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik
