I take a lot of photos during the week. At current count there were over 7,000 pictures on my phone. I know. Anything that catches my eye that I think is interesting, or just a memory that I’d like to keep. However, they usually sit in my phone and no one sees them except me and my immediate family; when I force them to sit and look at them with me occasionally. I do share some of them on my Instagram, in case you’d like to follow me over there. Anywho, I thought that I would give myself a sort of week in review to look back at. Who knows, maybe this is something I will actually remember to do each week for once!
Here is a peek into our week, in no particular order:
I believe that I’ll start a new series here on the Compendium of photos that consist of “Things That Zack Tried to Eat This Week”
No worries, he didn’t eat the pills, he just chewed it open to see what was inside. 🙄 
This used to be one of Olivia’s headbands….
I have no idea what this is, or where he got it. Denton asked me if the kids were this bad when they were toddlers. I said no, they actually minded. Sigh. Message me for tips on how to prise a 110 pound dog’s mouth open without losing any fingers. I’ve become quite proficient at it…
Meanwhile, Leonidas has found himself a comfy place to take a nap.
Santa was having a hard day in my town. I’m not judging anyone, since my little Champagne Christmas tree is still up…..
Can you see the mania? I have never seen a dog who LOVES snow as much as Zack does. Oreo liked the snow and Sampson loved the cold, but this dog – it’s a whole different ball game with him. When I opened the front door at 7:15 this morning and he saw the glorious white fluffiness all around the neighborhood, he went bonkers. He does it every time it snows. After we went inside, he was literally vibrating until I let him go to Denton (who I let sleep in on the weekends because he takes the 6:30 AM shift during the week with this goofhead) and he barked and bounced and growled until Denton went out with him to see all of the magnificence of the fluffiness too. You can imagine the joy that Denton greeted this with, since he is a Florida boy, born and raised and loves summer with all of the mania and glee that Zack greets winter with. Hahaha.
A rare selfie. This photo confirms to myself that I need bangs. Until I get up the nerve to cut said bangs and instantly have buyers remorse. Which is why I need to move somewhere that I can wear my giant faux fur puffy coat year round to hide my big forehead that needs bangs that I would instantly regret. Maybe I’ll start wearing those giant bow headbands that infants wear…..
As soon as I typed that sentence I thought, I bet they make something like that:
Ha! They do! I may just buy myself some of these. If you click on the photo you too can buy yourself some of these beauties. Seriously, I like them.
Do you have a Dollar General in your town? I accidentally stumbled onto a YouTuber called Coupon Club that puts together deals each week with their sales and the digital coupons that come with the DG app. She does a fantastic job, so I wanted to tell you about her if you have one. You can’t beat the prices that you can get with the deals she puts together each week. Let me know if you try it!
Groceries: I spent just over $144 this week between Walmart and Food Lion. My grand total this month is still slightly higher than I would like it to be, but it’s nowhere near the more than $1,000.00 a month I spent in 2020, so I’m calling it a win. I’m also not separating out things like facial tissues, toilet paper, feminine products, toothpaste, etc. You know, things that you won’t be eating, but end of in your cart while you’re grocery shopping.
January: $485.88
January 3 – January 9: $104.22
January 10 – January 16: $131.41
January 17 – January 23: $105.62
January 24 – January 30: $144.63
