- Kendall had the stomach bug last Sunday. Today Zach has a stomach bug. This thing is awful. I am praying that it only last 24 hours so Zach and I both can enjoy Lily’s performances on Saturday and Sunday. Now for more positive news!
- I found several packs of tomato and green pepper seeds in my seed box a couple of weeks ago. I decided to use some of the containers I have been saving along with dirt that we had left to try and see if I could grow any plants from seed. I planted 2 packs of both. Currently, we have about 75% germination rate for the green peppers and about 25% for the tomatoes which were planted almost 2 weeks later! The goal would be to be able to transfer these to the garden in mid April and at least half survive. If I can get even 25% to survive that will decrease my out of pocket for the garden!
- Gas prices have seemed to level out and have returned to just under $4 a galloon for us. This week we have focused on having the Tahoe sit as much as possible and using the Equinox which get a minimum of 10 miles per galloon better gas mileage. It has worked so far as we have put 2 additional tanks in the Equinox this week.
- I stopped by the store on my way home from work today in order to purchase a couple of items that we needed because of the stomach bug. I spent $49 which included TIde pods, 2 containers of deodorant, 4 6-packs of soda, a bag of chips and 8 packages of sausage patties. I found the sausage patties on sale for $2.39 for a package of 8 patties.
- Our electric bill came in this week and it is over $100 less than last month!! I am so thankful! The next bill is typically the lowest of the year due to not needing heat or a/c for several days at a time!
