I needed to take a return of something bought online to Walmart.
I also wanted to get some chapstick and fresh fruit
Here’s what I bought at Walmart for $42
Fruit
Chapstick and water flavor drops
Egg dye for next Easter. I’ve already put it in the box of Easter decorations that I store away from year to year. Walmart had Easter things 90% off. It was mostly egg dying kit and most of them were pretty crazy looking but I like the way these looked kind of natural.
I also think the eggs dye better when the cups have two tablets in them instead of just one. And that’s why I bought so many.
Three tops and a pair of black pants, all for me. They were on clearance at pretty good prices.
The reason I felt bad yesterday was because I haven’t been sleeping well. And that’s because my husband was away in Arkansas helping his parents. When my husband was an active duty Marine, I think he was gone as much as he was home. And I don’t remember having trouble sleeping back then. But now when he’s gone, I’m not scared. I just don’t sleep well.

He came back home today and I decided to fix a really good supper. We had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, baked carrots and a little bit of asparagus from our garden.
Lejmom Jane asked about picky eaters. The three grandchildren living with us do prefer to eat like average children. They would like to have hamburgers, pizza, and tacos most every meal. But the older they get the less picky they are.
Two of these grandchildren don’t like very much spice. One of the adults doesn’t like black beans, one doesn’t like carrots, one is allergic to avocado, one doesn’t like raw onion.
Most of the picky issues are pretty easy to deal with. If you notice in the photo above, part of the meatloaf does not have sauce and that’s an easy adjustment I’m happy to make.
Cheryl Some of those Youtubers are such fear mongers.
There may be big problems in the future but I don’t know how some of these Youtubers can be so sure about everything. I think they must make a lot more money when they have viewers keep turning in for more of their predictions, which all that is is predictions. I don’t think when Covid started, anybody could have predicted that two years later the world would still be dealing with it in a big way. Yes, there may be very big problems in the future. But there may not be. I do think it is very wise to keep someone of a stock pile at home. But if things get as bad as one channel I watched predicts, I think people would come and steal whatever food you had stockpiled anyway. So I’m not watching any channels about doomsday stuff. 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t know what the future is but I do know God is in control. I’m not going to be an ostrich with my head in the sand but I’m not going to live in fear either.

I'm going to like your comment about God being in control.
ReplyDeleteI manage to cook with my allergies and Tommy's dislikes! I bake meatloaf in lumps like that...lol.
ReplyDeleteI've taken to baking meatloaf in an 8x8 pan or 9x13, depending on how much I make. It is the same thickness and cooks the same. I used to do it in a loaf pan, but the middle always took longer :)
ReplyDeleteThx for the "picky" update. I asked, because I have the same issues when the families are here.
Like you, I stockpile and really always have---but never to this extent. I got concerned in the beginning when things were unavailable (like diced tomatoes and canned mushrooms)! Our stores are well stocked now---but much pricier. I will continue to stock up.
I have decided that living in fear takes away the joy of TODAY. Yes---God has it in control.
My page didn't open fully and I saw only that you'd shopped at Walmart and the first picture of fruit and thought, "My word! $42!" lol. Then the page loaded normally and I saw all the rest. You did very well. I saw Hilary had purchased those same small apples for her children to eat. If I were keeping Caleb still, I'd get them for him. He loves apples but can't eat a whole one.
ReplyDeleteAbout not sleeping well without Jeff. When John started working night shift after years of day shift, I had a horrible time sleeping with him gone. I live way out in the country and am so isolated here that people often would ask if I was afraid. I wasn't at all scared. I was just used to having my husband and our routine. Everything felt off when he was gone though I tried to keep to the same routine.
