productive day!

EVEN though I really wanted to go shopping with my 2 free hours today... I resisted and stayed home. I got the kitchen & basement cleaned, swept, did 2 loads of laundry (both of which are still sitting in the machines) had a friend over for coffee, Victoria had a friend over for lunch and playtime, and I even put some kids clothes on Craigs List to sell AND the kids' rooms are FINALLY clean (til they wake up tomorrow). I stabbed myself in the eye with the mascara wand yesterday and feel like I've been fighting an infection all day.. either that or some kid gave me pink eye yesterday. Either way, my pink eye drops from several months ago are working. (self-diagnosis anyone?) I managed to only eat 4 pieces of Halloween candy today... getting better! And I discovered a new way to eat leftover potroast! Shepherd's Pie! (with cheese and peas added) It was tastier than I thought... but since I'm not supposed to be spending any money... I had to suck it up and actually eat leftovers even though Corner Bakery was calling my name.
