| Yea, Buddy |
The holiday season is over, the decorations are packed away, and the house is finally back in semi-order. This is exactly how I feel. In fact I could easily hibernate till' Easter. But, something about the year beginning puts a little bee in my bonnet to want to clean every nook and cranny of my home.

| Before Looking Ahead |
I find it funny how quickly people make new years resolutions. I used to do that as well. Then I realized I can't decide where to go next if I don't know where I've been. This year I'm going to take a little time to reflect.

| Just One Day At A Time |
There are always things I can do to improve myself. If I made a list I might have to contact a publisher for novel rights. But when I look at myself just for today it's a smaller piece I can swallow.
Kinda like the difference between diving into Dontes' Inferno and catching up on Facebook posts. When I wake up each day or before I go to bed each night, I can ask myself one simple question.
What can/did I do today to be a better me?
This Week We Purchased The Following:
General Grocery buy week. 2#'s ground turkey, milk, sugar,
cabbage, mushrooms , 10#'s potatoes, onions yellow/red,
apples, oranges, bananas, kitchen supplies, bathroom supplies.
The total spent was $63.74
Our allotted budget is $130 but the goal is to stay under $100

I generally plan on Wed when I have 30 minutes before mass chaos begins.
I shop on Fri so our family menus (posted on the fridge) run from Fri to Thur.
How do I keep it all straight without pulling my hair out? I use Pepperplate.
This site/App keeps all my recipes, super easy to upload from other sites,
my shopping list which automatically uploads, my weekly/monthly planner,
AAAND (with best infomercial voice I can muster) So Much More! (Nope I
didn't get paid to say that either.)
