Apparently all my talk of spring was too hasty.  It’s been kinda chilly here and rainy.  It really makes you not want to even do anything.  I don’t nap, but the cold and gloomy skies really make me want to.

I started taking the time to meal plan again.  I used to do it all the time and then got out of the habit.  It’s a time saver, and money saver really.  It’s great to go to the grocery store and really only get what I need for the week.  While I’m not a big fan of the grocery store, it does save me money to do it this way and no more of those last minute, “ugh, I don’t know what to make for dinner” moments either.  Now, I know that I’m having a roast for dinner tomorrow.  I’m hungry already.

If you check out organizedhome.com you’ll find all sorts of great tips to get your house in order and save yourself some time and money.  They have a lot of printable forms to help, along with the meal planner.  They suggest making a binder and then recycling the meal plans once you have a few put together.  (Again, a time saver.)

I’m exhausted and the good old arthritis in my knees says the rain is on the way, so I think bedtime calls.  Cross your fingers that the rain is short lived.  I’m supposed to get my new roof of Thursday or Friday, depending on the weather.  For the sake of rain=potential roof leak stress, I’d like my new roof sooner rather than later.  I’m dreading paying for it, but the stress relief will be worth it I think.  Then hopefully i don’t have to worry about it again for a very long time.
