Well, yesterday was a failrly productive day... you know those days when you have so much to do but you have no clue where to begin? I had one of those... so really, not a whole lot was accomplished.

DH went to our son's house to have some coffee in the AM with him, and brought back our beautiful little granddaughter... so that was a good thing... except when she started getting tired, and fussy....

She refused to lay in her little portable bed that Grandpa and I have here for all the grandchildren, so she made a little attempt at the couch....with Grandma rubbing her little face and hair, she finally went to sleep...At least until the rambuncious and loud Uncle Logan woke her up....

Amelia went to work for her first day yesterday... and boy! did she look spiffy in her uniform! She said all she did was serve coffee, but that's pretty good for her 1st day, eh? She was excited, and I hope and pray that this will help her understand finances a little better. She just doesn't understand the concept that money really doesn't grow on trees.... do any young ones really understand that though?

I am proud of her....

Here's after work....and with her neice that never leaves her side when she's home....

And of course, DH and I did some impromptu grocery shopping after we dropped Amelia off at work. Weren't going to, but they had some 10 for $10 sales going on that we couldn't resist! When we came home, we straightened up our pantry downstairs and took inventory, so we have a running list of what we have and don't have. DH did it, but I can think if certain things he missed, so I think I will double check today. It was in pretty big disarray down there, and he was cleaning up as he was going, so that's probaly why things were missed.... and that's ok. I'd like to have a list of what's in the freezer too...

I have started the $5 a Week Food Pantry List ( http://theideadoor.com/Preparedness/food_storage_for_5.htm)  and want to be prepared, so I need to see just what I have down there.

Hey! I did get 2 buckets from Meijers bakery yesterday! The ladies gave them to me! Now when I buy in bulk, I can put separate baggies into the buckets and keep critters out of my food! I'm washing them up real good today, and I have some wheat that needs to be stored, so I will accomplish that today.

And that was yesterday....

Today has already begun... at 3:30am as matter of fact... with a crying baby who didn't want to go back to sleep until 5am for her Grandma. But that's ok. It gives me time to read my Bible a bit, and make my family a good breakfast.

So see? Waking up early is a good thing... even when you DON'T have to work that day!!

~Blessings to you all~
