HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard about Atlanta flooding so I called Mom (who lives about 45 minutes away from ATL) and she said It’s been pretty bad there but luckily where she lives is more up on a hill so she hasn’t had to worry about water flooding up to her door but some of her neighbors have in the apartments, eek! I don’t know if it rained here today or not?!? We might get some severe weather within the next couple days, BOO!

For the last couple weeks when we would go to the store, I was constantly eyeballing the Quaker Weight Control oatmeal which had 3 different flavors including banana bread which sounded delicious. Yesterday I decided to get it!!! I had it with my breakfast this morning. I had 1 scrambled egg, little cottage cheese melted on it then the oatmeal and also 3 chopped up strawberries into it. It was actually quite good! Not the same as my usual breakfast but something different! The oatmeal gave me a good chunk of extra carbs but definetly good ones. I was so friggin full last night after dinner and dessert that I didn’t want to move!!! I had a cup of hot cocoa (another thing I picked up at the store Monday) and It was only 25 calories! Can’t beat that. I love finding healthy alternatives for everything! Speaking of last night, I sliced my forefinger while cutting up our sweet potato. YOUCH!!!!! It still hurts!

We went back to Wal-Mart again today for our usual groceries and we were almost done shopping and THE LIGHTS GO OUT. It was still pretty light in the store from the backup lights plus It being light outside but It was quite weird how quiet it got. Brad was in a hurry to get back home so he could leave by 6pm for his church meeting and we actually got done early shopping but without power, we couldn’t get our groceries checked out so we wound up wandering the store for 30 minutes. Brad finally suggested we start putting things back so we headed to do that and then boom, the lights came back on! We had to wait another 10-15 minutes for the registers to work again then finally got to come home! Brad went to his church meeting then I fed Katie her dinner after I put away groceries. Fixed myself a protein snack, washed the dishes and also put out our little Fall basket on our breakfast table in the kitchen, YAY! Eventually gave Katie a bath then put her to bed. Got a load of laundry folded and put away as well – I am definetly a housewife and I. LOVE. IT! Makes me feel so accomplished!!!

Waiting for my hunny bunny :luv: to get home from his meeting then fix some dinner and FINALLLLLY get to watch last weeks episode of The Biggest Loser! :D I feel so happy tonight!!!!
