Sunday Doings

I started my day trying to figure out what time it actually was as I had forgotten it was "Spring Forward" time again but the computers n\knew; now to get it all changed on all the other clocks in the house that don't do it automatically. I wish the time would just STAY - no switching back and forth in Spring and Fall.

Before mowing

I looked out the back window and saw that the rain had really gave the lawn a boost and the poor dogs had a jungle out there. So after breakfast I went out and mowed that for them. Amelia always barks with joy when she see's the mower being pulled out of the shed. NOW I can see all their lovely "bombs" and need to go out and clean those all up. I will do that Wednesday since I will be off work that day.

After Mowing

As you can see the garden also needs some attention and I will give it some on Wednesday as well. I did plant the potatoes in the one prepared and mulched bed today and will plant some other items on Wednesday as well.

I've cut coupons and made a list for CVS and went ahead and went down there since it's less than a mile from our house and I had two $5 rewards that would expire today. I did two transactions so that I could "roll" my extra bucks. My first transaction earned me $13.99 in extra bucks which I used on my second transaction.

Spent $9.06 - Saved $19.18 and earned the $13.99 in Extra Bucks

I always scan my CVS rewards program card as I start shopping and see what the machine will give me in coupons or rewards. Today I got a bunch but only used one off the snickers eggs - yes there were 2 when I left the store but one didn't  make it to the house...hmmm... what could have happened to it?

Spent $4.95 - Saved $38.04

I will go through the rest of the ads this afternoon I also need to buy meats and veggies that you rarely see coupons on but will buy whats in season and on sale. I'm REALLY wishing we had a freezer. SAVE SAVE SAVE! I'll get one in time - just have to remain patient.

When I came home from CVS the "kids" Greg and his girl, Rachel were cooking breakfast and wanting to make coffee ( Yes at 2 in the afternoon). When I showed them the beans I'd been grinding for the past few days I suddenly realized they were DECAF! No wonder we are dragging and have headaches - it was one of those "duh ha" moments.

I'm kinda looking forward to working just 4 days this week. For now it's back to the laundry and house cleaning.
