I am quite happy that today is a NSD, meaning that I'm able to conserve the little bit of cash that I have remaining. Friday is replenish day, and I've already got my grocery list/menu plan for the upcoming week (plus I've accounted for our weekend $ -parish block party and having friends over for dinner on Sun).

My mom took me and the little guy for breakfast yesterday at Caribou Coffee. Not only did we get a free breakfast, but I found a dime too! (Who ever thought that I'd actually be tracking the money that I found on the ground - inspired my baselle). My mom also bought me a cross stitch pattern that I've liked for awhile - we found it at the resale store brand new for $2 (with the original $8 price on it). Nice thing about this is it is uses standard floss colors, as opposed to hand-dyed floss which can run up to $2.00 per color. I have to finish up two other projects (nearing completion) prior to starting this.

Back to school week is going well, though my oldest daughter tiredly explained this morning that she thinks she should go to bed earlier (stayed up too late last nite watching AGT). I went to the school Mass yesterday morning, ran out and about with my mom, came home mowed the lawn, returned to school for a 2:30 meeting with my 3rd grader's teacher, then it was soccer practice.

Today I'm leaving the house only for Curriculum Night.
Hope all have a good day!
