I am trying to just start and get myself back on track. In reality, I finally feel I am not behind on the important stuff and the house is half way decent. But I just have not had the energy to focus on the blog in several months but I know I need to and I know it will help me focus on other things as well so this is my starting small. I am continuing to try and not let food be wasted due to it going bad and to use what we have.
\nAnother way I am starting small is that we did not eat out after church yesterday!\u00a0 This saved us easily $100, we already have a plan not to eat out next Sunday as well. So No spending is at least off to a decent start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunday-\u00a0 bacon, eggs and toast\u00a0Monday- bagels\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Tuesday, Wednesday, \u00a0Thursday\u00a0 and Friday\u2013 Find it (oatmeal, omelets, cereal and milk, sausage, pop-tarts ,cereal bars, French toast, breakfast burritos\u00a0 and eggs). I would like to make a baked oatmeal one morning but no promises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lunch- Saturday- Costco\u00a0 \u00a0Sunday-baked potatoes\u00a0 \u00a0Monday,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Tuesday\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Wednesday, Thursday, Friday- Leftovers or salad. I will be eating out on Friday but that should be it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
