I always love the first week of the year. New calendars make me happy. ;) Usually I have purchased one by about oh, say, October. Not this year. I finally bought one last week. Just in the nick of time. I also usually spend time looking around for just the right one, but owing to the time crunch, this time I just picked one out of those available on Targets end cap. It's
this one.
The funny thing is I got it home and started writing in everybody's birthdays. Then I wanted to add activities, so I got out my little calendar I carry with me. It's
this one. I never even noticed I had picked out the exact same design. I must really like it, though, to have chosen it twice. ;)
Today was kind of a slow, rolling start to getting back into our normal routine. My nieces break was ove so I had to get up early to get them to school, but I'm not starting school with my kids until tomorrow. Scott was also off work today so another reason to delay school. He very sweetly did some "honey-do"s for me, as well as a few things on his own list.
I went through my coupon box, throwing out all those that expired in 2011. I heard there were some great coupons in Sunday's paper but ours somehow disappeared. The 3 and 4 year olds usually bring the newspaper in and today they brought me Saturday's and today's. And Sunday's was nowhere to be found. :( So I sent Scott to the store to see if they had any left. He found two and brought them home. And they had not. one. coupon. I was so bummed. Maybe tomorrow I'll try another store and hope I can find some. So frustrating that I cleaned out my coupon box and was all set to fill it back up and start stockpiling again and now my plans were thwarted. Patience is not one of my strongest virtues. haha
I also printed out a few different to-do lists to try out and see which one will work for me. Tomorrow I'm trying
this one . Also found some great meal planners on Pinterest. I can spend waaay too long on that site. I'm hoping to start making more freezer meals. This
burrito recipe looks really good. I think I'll try it out on Sunday.
Conner is in Atlanta this week, attending
Passion . I'm excited for him, I know it will be an amazing experience for him, but I sure do miss him! I can't wait to hear all about it when he gets back.
Well, another early morning tomorrow so off to bed I go.
