Time for another installment of "things that make Katy weird...."

So, I am two days back into my blogging routine and already, I am out of stuff to talk about. And when the world fails to provide you with enough blog material, you can always fall back on a good "confession" post. So here you go :)

1. With almost anything, I prefer the crumbs at the bottom to the whole pieces at the top. I will always dig to the bottom to find the good crumbs of chips, cereal, crackers, cookies etc...I have found there is a much better flavor/bread ratio with crumbs. The better flavor is well worth the awful scene I make trying to shove crumbs in my mouth....

2. We are officially on a strict budget now to help offset the expenses coming our way. I have always been pretty cheap, but that was always because I wanted to be. Being FORCED into being cheap is not nearly as fun. However, I found a loophole. Today, I had to take something back to Lowes. $6.00 back on my credit card, yay! I then promptly turned around and went to Target where I spent $40 on "essentials," but it was okay because I had just put money back on our card.....see how that works?

3. I got tired of fighting Jonathan to eat lunch today, so I eventually let him up from the table. About 10 minutes later, I looked over and he was sitting on the couch with 3 fish sticks in his hand. And instead of yelling at him to get back to the table, I took a picture. (I love that he couldn't even be bothered to look at the camera....) And then I realized that he had shared a fish stick with Matthew, who was now walking around the room with it in his hand. Mom of the year for so many reasons here....

4. I give my kids fish sticks. 

5. I think Sam's Club has the best Coke Zero fountain drink in all the world. I will fight the traffic, the parking lot, my screaming kids, the crowds....just to get one. And the fact that it is only .89 cents means it is in my new budget. So couple that with the free cookie my kids get from the bakery, it is a legit outing that actually saves me money since I don't have to provide their snack for the afternoon out of my own pocket. 

6. I use Goldfish to smooth over all major issues in the house.

7. Sometimes, especially on rainy days, I let the boys climb all over the furniture. That's cool....right? I mean, I cover it up by saying "we are building a fort!" but I think we all know it just means, "mommy is really tired and there is nothing else to do, so she gives up."

I guess that's it for now.I can't focus anymore, now that Reba is on for the next two hours and the boys are napping :) Priorities, you know....
