It does make us feel a wee bit more sane, doesn't it?https://www.blogger.com/profile/10112766306021310705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502271107594014252.post-10591370640044546592009-02-23T09:49:00.000-08:002009-02-23T09:49:00.000-08:00Sounds great!

The boys are such picky eaters now and I rarely eat dinner myself so we wind up doing a lot of "snacks" for dinner (fruit, veggies, cheese, and crackers). I just can't make myself shop and cook when I know they're not going to eat it. As for the cleaning, good luck! I'm working on getting the place organized too. It's a huge task but baby steps are the way to go. If you do a little each day, it shouldn't be so overwhelming and you can get through it all. Keep us posted!WonderMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807858950739002823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502271107594014252.post-53471828496036763002009-02-23T08:51:00.000-08:002009-02-23T08:51:00.000-08:00Wow, great spending!

I'm not confident in the kitchen, so I keep putting it off.<BR/><BR/>My mom hasn't seen my place either. Mind you, I've been here only two months, but she's not in a hurry. She's a two-hour drive away and has a bad back for sitting that long.Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835267210183096718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502271107594014252.post-68616834080292979542009-02-23T07:16:00.000-08:002009-02-23T07:16:00.000-08:00Thanks for linking to your quote source!

I have given up on the kids rooms and that helps. <BR/><BR/>And YES $88 for 5 is impressive! I pretty much do all my shopping at Costco since we go through a lot quickly. What I spend there last two weeks or more, but if I went to the grocery store it would cost the same for just one week.<BR/><BR/>I'll be intersted to see what you come up with. Maybe we can share tips and tricks for single parenting four kids on a budget.MindyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103345017455083144noreply@blogger.com
