My drippy water faucet has really been amusing me today. It doesn't seem to take much. This evening, when I "pre-washed" the dishes for the dishwasher, I did it with the "drip" water from my leaky faucet. I filled up one side of the sink and just rinsed and scrubbed in there. The water was disgusting, but they're going straight into the dishwasher anyway. They just needed to be rinsed. It was actually easier too because they soaked while I worked. Always before I had the hot water on full blast as I did this task.

Poor DH thinks I've lost my mind. I'm not asking him to do these crazy things though. The only thing I ask of him is to participate in the no-spend challenges. He even goes without lunch for me on that one! He was so sweet today! I was expecting him home around 3:00 which is when I was going to make a grocery run leaving him with the kids. He decided to work overtime, which was fine with me! So I took the kids to the grocery store which is always a miserable experience. One child is fine and actually helpful, but together is really hard. Also, I can't think and end up spending more. The dear man drove to Kroger to meet me, finish the shopping AND keep the kids while I went home! Too bad I wasn't at Kroger but at Aldi instead. Still, it was such a sweet gesture and I really appreciated it.

It is now after midnight. I really need to start going to bed a decent hour! When school starts up again, I'll be going to bed at 9:00. I get myself so off schedule during the summer. Oddly though I don't wake up too terribly much later. The kids have me up by 7:30-8:00. Must...go...to...bed....
