Confession time. 😉
The HH was gone all of last week on a business trip. He left on sunday morning and didn’t get home until late friday night. Saturday we slept in and then headed to Poulsbo for our “date day.” On sunday Monkey Boy and the HH went off to do “man stuff” and I worked on hooked rugs.
While he was away I totally slacked off in the food department. AND IT WAS AWESOME. Monkey Boy had to work all week so it was just me and the puggle princess. This is rare and usually only happens a few times a year so I took full advantage and hung out in my pj’s and ate/made a bunch of random stuff to eat. So even though this was our first week into a “no spend” month, it was easy peasy because all I really had to do was make sure there was dinner on the table when Monkey Boy walked through the door.
The only thing I’m really worried about is milk… and if I can ration the 3 gallons I started the month with without anyone noticing. Remember, I didn’t tell the boys I was doing this little challenge, because hello, they don’t even cook in the first place so why even put the idea in their head that we might run out of something. The HH doesn’t drink milk and Monkey Boy only does occasionally {I mostly use it in my tea and for baking} so I think I might be able to stretch it if I am careful. We’ll see.
