3 Friday Things.

1. We're back from our first block leave vacation in 5 years and we jumped right into the chores and whatnot that needed to be done. Mostly weeding the garden and I have the torn-up hands to prove it.

2. I started thinking about how I can make grocery shopping and meal prep easier on myself and I decided to try Wal-Mart's online ordering. Sure, I usually go to the commissary because it's cheaper but I also usually buy random things that look good while I'm perusing the aisles. I put the order in on Wednesday night and picked up Thursday morning. They were pretty busy so it did take 20 minutes or so of waiting, but totally worth it. I think I'll be doing this often. It's completely free and, if you meal-prep anyway, you already have your list made out. It's just one more step to put everything into an online shopping cart. It was oddly refreshing to know exactly how much money I spent before I even got to the store.

3. We drove to San Diego last Thursday and back this past Tuesday.  I'll happily recap in traditional (insufferable) blogger fashion next week, but this was the route we took.


For me (us), it's a weekend of playing catch-up and then, next week, I've really got to start making progress in my classroom. Only two full weeks of summer vacation left!

  5. I'm dying for our grocery to start that online ordering thing. It will be so much more enjoyable for me. I LOATHE all the packing & loading of groceries so that takes out a big part of the part I hate.

  10. I've started ordering my groceries, either curbside or Instacart, and it's so worth it. Especially with all these kids!
