After a relaxing weekend that included a run to Publix, cooking Easter dinner, and a wonderful Easter with friends, this week has been mostly up and down. It started up--teeball was canceled for Monday afternoon because of rain, but we all dressed up in our Auburn best and teeball outfit for Evan (DS1) and met our friends at Chick-Fil-A for Team Spirit night. The kids got free Kids Meals, Maxie (my friend) and I got free combos, and our husbands got free entrees. There was a great crowd, including...

Wednesday was DS1's Easter party at school, and my sweet SIL came to keep DS2 and DS3 so I could go (the teachers requested no siblings for this one). Then DH had arranged for my niece to come babysit for a couple of hours so we could run grab dinner together--$16.50 for Mexican. It could have been about $5 less, but we accidentally both left a tip.

On Thursday, DS1 and DS2 went to Mother's Morning Out and I had a nice morning with a friend--we have coffee and then I teach...

Sunday was a wonderful Homecoming and dinner on the grounds at church. I took a big pan of baked ziti--totally out of my stockpile, except for one onion. After church, I ran in Publix to get two newspapers, milk, bread, and bananas. ($10.95) The penny item was white bread, which the boys will eat, and then I might make breadcrumbs and freeze. Made a quick run to CVS that evening to get Pull-ups, Skintimate shave gel, and Easter grass....

DS1 had his first Teeball game today! After the game, I was able to run around by myself for a little while. I ran in several grocery stores to browse--found one good winetag (just one, lol--not even multiples of the same one!) and a rebate at Rite Aid. Also found several good tearpads and the Kraft booklet with $1.25/3 dessert items Q! Other than that, I just went to Walmart for printer ink and also got two tops for myself and two pairs of fleece-lined clogs for DS2 and DS3 for next winter--all...

So . . . my DH went out to dinner last night with his turkey hunting friends and left the tip--$15.00. But I really can't complain because his dear friend had paid for his dinner after he had already treated us to Carraba's takeout the night before and barbcue for lunch that day. He also brought a Crayola chalk set with 3-D glasses to DS1 and DS2 and Tadoodles crayons to DS3, as well as a charm from a trip to Egypt with my name in hieroglyphics! Then today, they went to lunch again, and DH contributed...
