Veggie omelet made with egg whites or egg substitutes.

Direct TV was a nightmare. Our box kept breaking, the channels were terrible (about 50% were workout infommercials) and ultimately we dropped it for Time Warner (who helped pay for us to get out of our contract). I would never recommend Direct TV to anyone. And don't even ask dh about them cause he will rant for an hour!

I tend to be busy mainly because I don't like to sit still. There is always something that could be done around the house, for example. Plus I have two highly, highly active children that keep me going too and they don't require a lot of sleep. We stay busy with daily life not so much with extracurricular activities. Big girl is in 4-H now and participates in soccer and recreation in the summer.
Part of my "busy" is in the kitchen. I'm not a fan of processed foods and try to make as much from scratch as I can. Lots of Americans are busy with other things that they rely on fast food....different kinds of busy here.

I chose Burger King because I spend the most money there. I love their side Caesar salads and buy them often. I love the coffee at McDonalds. I don't eat fried food so I normally pick Subway for something cheap and fast.

Two words this year: Boston Market!

Complete all laundry and clean the mouse cage!

I was wondering the same thing! Thanks!

LOL! It's just a message board! I will be able to deal just fine and do all the stuff around the house that keeps me busy! I'm sure I will get more done too!;)
Plus small girl's birthday party is Saturday so I have things to get done!

Someone else's blood stain...no way, the sheets would be in the trash. I usually find nice deals at walmart in the clearance isle. They may not be the coolest colors (I got a king sized sheet set for $25 with a good thread count...they are gold!) but the prices aren't bad. Money is tight here too but I would make it happen!:D
ETA: the blood stained sheet would be in the trash, I would make use of the non stained sheet.

We got that kit earlier this year and my big girl devoured it! A major hit!

I choose Burger King because of LOVE their side Caesar salads. But I also love McDonald's coffee! Other than those items, I don't eat fast food!

My big girl's entire wardrobe (except socks and underwear) are from her older cousin. And my small girl is wearing all of big girl's stuff!

Except for a few meltdowns and fights between the sisters, we are doing well. Math is the last subject for the day and big girl has 4-H tonight.
Today is small girl's BIRTHDAY!!! She is 4!! I'm going to take them for an early supper at their favorite pizza joint. Then after dropping off big girl to 4-H, small girl will pick out two cake mixes for me to bake on Saturday.
Housework is going well, school is going well. Happy that it's a short week next week (just working Mon and Tues!).
Currently making ham, mashed potatoes and beans for lunch - all small girl's favorites!

Walmart gift cards would be nice. And some kitchen towels.

I look at lots of online samples and I read lots of reviews. I also ask questions on message boards like this one.

I get up daily around 6am and I virtually never sleep in unless the girls are spending the night elsewhere. They get up around 6am every day. And when they are gone, I sleep in until about 8am.

Before kids, my car was neat and clutter free. After kids, the van hasn't been vacuumed in a long time! It's not super cluttered, just dirty on the floor.
-
"Frozen fresh" vegetables, fruit, etc. never made sense to me.
-
I think cards in general are a waste of money.

Dh is a super gamer and prefers Xbox!

As little as possible. I don't like change!

As long as you really use it and it doesn't end up as an expensive clothing hanger, go for it!! :D
I wouldn't mind owning a treadmill myself!

PS...I meant DON'T throw rocks at me, I typed out "do" throw rocks at me!!:lol:
Thanks for the concussion guys! :tongue_smilie:
By the way, my dd3.75, who is doing postdoctoral work, says hello!
if you don't cook from scratch, or don't cook much...

Just some thoughts because I cook a lot. There are a few "staples" that I always have on hand to make stuff. When you get this stuff in large quantities, it usually can last a long time.
1. a huge bag of potatoes - any potato item we eat is made from here (except tater tots cause I just don't know how to make them) - mashed, scalloped, hash browns, home fries, baked, etc.
2. a huge bag of apples - tons of options especially in the dessert department
3. Flour/sugar/other "normal" baking items - 99% desserts, I make - cakes, muffins, cookies, etc.
4. Eggs/butter/bread - breakfast and baking
5. Pasta noodles/sauce
6. Chicken/meat
7. Cheese -I buy the bricks because they have more options - slice it, shred it, cube it, etc.
Those are the things you will always find at my house so I can make stuff. Of course we have lots of fruits and veggies too but if you are in a crunch, any of those items can make a good meal and have lots of combinations.
Your $40-$50 take out will buy you A LOT of the stuff listed above. And with a family of 9, I would imagine you will double up (we are a family of 4). And I buy most of this stuff at Aldis, Save A Lot and Walmart. No fancy places.
