The weekend is here! Happy Saturday, friends. I feel like I’m still trying to get back into my home routine after being on vacation. Can’t believe it’s nearly Monday already! Even though I’ve enjoyed a slower pace, I’m ready to see some of my coworkers and get back into my workweek rhythm.
I was determined to sleep in this morning, but my eyes popped open just before 7 a.m. I stumbled around, trying to get my bearings before diving into the day. Would you believe my Keurig decided to quit on me? I was so disappointed—it didn’t even last two years! That meant no coffee to start my morning, which definitely threw me off a bit.
Mr. C and I sat down to work on our monthly grocery list, which always takes us a good chunk of time. We also planned out meal ideas while working through our $400 budget for the month, which includes groceries and household items. I like having a plan—it makes me feel organized and saves us from too many last-minute drive-thru runs.
Here are a few meals we’re planning for this month:
• Beef enchiladas
• Roast with veggies
• Meatloaf and mashed potatoes
• Lasagna
• Chicken fajitas
• Honey BBQ chicken breast
• Chicken and dumplings
• Orange chicken with fried rice
After finishing our list, I got ready to head out. My first stop was Marlow, Oklahoma, to deposit a check for bills. From there, I went on to Duncan to stop by the Duncan Public Library. I needed to print my August and September blog posts to add to my journal, which goes out on October 10th. It’s coming along nicely but still needs a bit more work before it’s ready.
Next stop: Dollar Tree! I picked up Halloween buckets and some candy for Lane and Landon’s treat bags. Then I popped over to Walmart—conveniently in the same area—to grab my prescriptions and a few groceries, even though I plan to make a bigger trip to Crest tomorrow.
By the time I was done, I was more than ready for lunch. I swung by Braum’s for crinkle fries and a cherry limeade. Their fries are always crispy and delicious, though I’ll admit their burgers tend to be a bit soggy for my liking.
Once I got home, we unpacked the groceries and ate lunch before I gave in to a little afternoon nap—from 2 to 3 p.m. After running errands all morning, that nap felt amazing!
This evening, we’re headed to Brody’s around 5 p.m. We’re taking ingredients for tacos and burritos so we can have dinner together and visit with the family. I can’t wait to see the smalls, and I’m sure baby Sophie has already grown since the last time I saw her.
It’s been a full day, but a good one. I’m grateful for my life, my family, and the everyday moments that make it all so special. I truly feel blessed to live my best life, one Saturday at time.
