Well let me first say that I am wore slap out today. My kids slept in until 9:00am so I was not about to get up before them today. Needless to say I should have. Russell's therapy apt was today @ 10:30 I only had an hour to feed the boys, get all three of us dressed, make Russell's favorite teacher a b-day present and drive to therapy.
I hurried up and made a peach cake to put in the bread machine, threw on some lounge about clothes asked Jimmy to get the boys dressed, cleaned up the kitchen laid out the rest of my ingredients for peach cream cheese, gathered my stuff and ran out the door. We made it at 10:25 am. Not to shabby.  His whole appointment did not run but about 25 minutes. He told her he was done and wanted his mama. So she asked him three times. And each time he told her go, treat and mama. So she let him out early. I got rave reviews from school too about how good he was. That made me feel good like therapy might be working.
Anyways sent Russell to school, and Daniel and I go to Wal-Mart. Now you would think that at 1:00 it wouldn't be too bad. But I swear there were like 1000 people in there. I found out that even though wal-mart and Sam's sells the exact same things even some things in the same quantity you will get more for your money at Sam's. I even found the new cleaning products Mrs Myers Clean Day there. So after an exhausting hour of Daniel sit down, Daniel turn around, Daniel keep your hands in the buggy I finally finished. We walked out the door and I was more satisfied that I am trying to save my family money. Eager to share my results I come home and call Jimmy only to interrupt him and his First Sgt. So he does not even know how I did.
For some reason as tired as I am I could not sit still. So I went and finished taking down the candy canes (as they were froze in the ground previously) cleaned up the back yard from the dogs, cooked supper, and literally ran down the road until my pants fell down. (Yep, you read that right). I was outside planting some daffodil bulbs that were sprouting. (I know it is not the right time, but I got them on clearance and thought what the heck) I only have $2.00 lost if they don't come up. But back to the story. Ariel was outside laying next to where I was working. She saw a dog and his owner walking down the street, so she got up and walked over to my car. I saw all of this thinking no she is not going that way it is to much effort for her. But gimp had bigger plans. She gained alot of pep in her step. She practically galloped after them. I was running and running leaving poor Daniel on the sidewalk asking "What happened". I kept feeling my pants fall and kept trying to grab them but I had gardeners gloves on and could not seem to get my hands on my pants. WHEW, finally I caught up with her and there goes my pants down to my knees. Good thing, there was only a bunch of kids playing outside. So I guess the morale of my story today is, no matter how simple you want to live, you still have to have pants that fit..........Something for me to figure out. How to buy pants frugally.....:) That all for tonight folks.
