Prep Mode

I'm in prep mode today. We're going to have an extra tight budget for the next few months, so I'm making my menu and grocery list for the next MONTH. It's a little more work, but it really helps to cut down all the extra spending. It's amazing how much you can spend when you go for a couple things! I'll drive a little farther for the good deals tomorrow while the kidlet is at school.

Along with that and the continual parade of laundry, I need to get to work on my latest freelance project. I've been getting a few new projects lately and so far so good. It's nice to put the mommy brain aside for a few hours and do some work.

I'm also thinking about and preparing for the Women's Retreat at the end of the month. It's through the church we've been attending and I'm looking forward to a little break...a chance to refocus.

Oh, there's also a couple tote bags that are waiting to be finished. Hopefully I can get those taken care of during the kidlet's afternoon cartoons.
