My life might be boring to you but is really what it is.
I teach at a preschool and my work day is not over when I clock out. It involves doing lesson plans. I do a lot of research on what I want to do with the children and making sure what I want to do with them that I have all the items needed to complete the lessons.
I also do container gardening on my patio and need to take care of my plants. These plants help reduce my food cost even if it is just vegetables every little bit helps. If I am lucky I have extras I am able to can or freeze. When it is the weekend I like to going shopping and buy fruits and vegetables to can and freeze. I also buy meat from a resturant supply store that can be frozen and pressured canned. I also go grocery shopping every 2 weeks.
I also do most of my cooking from scratch everyday. And this is all by my own choice. I like knowing what is going into the food I make each day. This takes extra time each day with my cooking. I also hand wash my dishes no dishwasher here and I do my laundry in the apartment complex laundry room.
I know the things I do sounds silly for some people that live in a apartment. But I figure it is my life and I should do the things I want to do and the way I want to do them.
