This has been one of those weeks. But it's over! Well, sort of: I'm writing this on Thursday night so I still need to GET THROUGH Friday. But here are some things to be thankful for:
* Hubby started his job this week. It has been uneventful, as he's basically gone to work for the company who outsourced his original job. They're a little ... inefficient. But whatever - he's getting paid for it! And he's happy to be working, no matter what the job is. And I'm happy he's working, because he's happy.
* I bought a cherry pitter for the sole reason that I wanted to make this Cherry Sherbet. That contraption is amazing! Where has it been all my life? I want to make cherry pie and cherry granita and anything else that I can use a cherry pitter for.
* What? you say I can use my cherry pitter to pit olives too? Martinis for everyone!
* There is now cherry sherbet getting good and frozen in my freezer.
* I went crazy for a BOGO meat sale, and I spent $90 at a grocery store ... and saved $65. No coupons.
* That's a lot of meat. Nine meals of chicken, two of country ribs, four meals of pork chops, 1lb of beef (specifically to try out this dill pickle meatloaf tomorrow night), and three lbs of tilapia - which I think is about 4 meals.
* Plus a couple other items. Cheese, eggs, BOGO whole wheat Ritz crackers. The necessities.
* ONE DAY I will post about Henry's birthday. ONE DAY I will post about Delaware/Philly. ONE DAY. But right now I have to go to sleep so I can get up and work for awhile and take Henry to his doctor's appointment and then take the kids with me to a going-away happy hour (bar AND grill, people) then make meatloaf then go to sleep and then Saturday there is a birthday pool party and OHMYGOD I still need to get a present for that and the Sunday is lunch an hour away with a friend to bring her a crib mattress and additional accoutrements for her impending baby ... And then maybe Sunday afternoon I can breathe.
* Yes, Sunday around 5pm I can breathe.
