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!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
