I feel like I’m coming out of a fog.  There’s the never ending (or melting) snow and the sequence of birthdays conspiring against me.  But spring is here (technically), activities are changing, and cleaning must be done.

• Threw out 7 socks
• Did the laundry backlog and actually put it away now that I’m convinced that the little guy isn’t getting in the closet anymore. The drawers are still an issue.
• Got sour cream and eggs free based on other grocery purchases. The sour cream was free after a cheese purchase, which was on my list anyway.  The eggs were free after purchasing bacon, which we use a lot of.  All items were on good sales even before the free items.
• Triggered the “you’re using too many coupons” flag on the Wegman’s register. I’m thinking this means I saved more than they anticipate, but I had no manufacturer’s coupons.  I bought sale items and used $7 in Wegman’s coupons for a total savings of $11.59 with a final spend of $21.05.  I’m not sure what would have happened if I’d actually had a bunch of coupons, but the cashier gave me no issues and confirmed all my coupons were properly used.
• Fixed 2 books
• Migrated three more months of this blog to WordPress
• Took the dining room chair seats to the reupholster
  • While they were there I cleaned the frames (and the table and walls for good measure)
  • Reinstalled the seat cushions (this was not terribly hard, but much harder than removing them) after they were done
• Dealt with three stomach sick kids (fingers crossed it doesn’t spread further)
  • Did a lot of excess laundry & cleaning as a result
• Replaced the wiper blades on my minivan
• Mailed the reimbursement for towing to the Roadside Assistance company that was unable to find a tow truck for us. From what I’ve read online I’m not expecting to get our money back for many months.
