Teaholic not quite anonymous

I forgot to mention one thing about fridge shopping... Maddy opened all the refrigerators and said, "Mommy! NO MILK!" She was shocked that there wasn't any milk in the fridges. Too funny! She actually did find a fake gallon of milk in one but tipped it upside down, sighed and said, "Argh...still no MILK!" It was really cute.

This morning I made our menu for the week and went grocery shopping. OUCH. I spent an arm and a leg. But at least we have food for the week now. We were totally out of meat for dinners. Maddy did a much better job this shopping trip than the last one, thank goodness.

I was able to get a load of laundry done and the dishwasher cleaned before we took our nap at one. We didn't get up until almost four.

I was going to have spaghetti with marinara tonight for dinner but realized we had almost everything we need for me to give my own marinara a shot, so I finished buying the last few ingredients and made my own. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out considering I've never tried making my own. Add in that I wasn't going off any recipe. Well, Matt said it was the best marinara he's EVER had. :) So I wrote down the recipe so I wouldn't forget what I used and how much. I was pleased with that.

I'm tired tonight. I guess I am all the time now, but that's just the way it goes! I see an early bedtime in my future. Problem is I'm having insomnia in the middle of the night now where I"m up awake for 2 or three hours or sleep so lightly or wake up so often that it doesn't feel like I'm asleep for those hours. Thanks goodness for the nap in some ways since it helps me recoup a bit for the evening, but I also think it's screwing with my sleep for the night as well. Double edged sword.
