Ha Ha....so much for my blogging more often!

Seriously though... I really meant to, it's just life seems to get in the way!

I have recently acquired a substitute position that could last until the end of the school year. I am very happy about that, but also realize that I will have to become much more organized if I plan to stay within a reasonable grocery budget.

Meaning.... planiing meals in advance, using my slow-cooker more often and NOT relying on frozen pre-cooked meals or even fast food for dinners.

Another expense is lunches for myself. I have so far just fixed a sandwich the same time I fixed them for the kids' lunches, but I will have to look into varying that a bit. I get bored quickly with lunches and would hate to start hitting the snack machine because I was not prepared.

I do look to this as another stage in my life and hope that it leads to a permanent position.
