Are you stretching your dollar today?

I started the morning at 6:00 by getting my husband out the door with the next to last banana and a glass of tea.  (all he wanted).  I started with oatmeal.  Then I cut out this weeks coupons.  My ds is going on a weekend camping trip, so we got him packed.  Took some items by my dd house and then dropped of books to be donated to the library, then dropped off a bag at goodwill.  Then we had lunch at a rest., where we shared a lunch special and then dropped him off.  Then I came back to the library, to chat with you guys.  Then I have to get ready for our Fall Fest at church tomorrow, where we will be playing homemade games,  such as beanbag toss, turkey bowling and several other games I made up a few years ago.  Then I am cooking the last 4 pork chops froma a pack of 10 I opened 2 days ago.  Thats my whole big day in a nutshell.

My mom helped me by bringing me 4 cartons of chocolate milk the 1/2 pint ones.  She is a cafeteria monitor for the elementry school and when the children don't want their unopened milk instead of throwing them in the trash can she is allowed to keep them.  They of course are still sealed and good!
