Back again!!!!

Since I have last posted, life has indeed been hopping. I found out that my oldest daughter is pregnant. Right now, she is almost 4 months along, we will find out in Oct. what she is having. It has been a real tumultuous 2 months since we found out. Her school is going real good and she is doing so much better this year. Knock on wood....

This past week has been real hard at work. My hours were cut back dramatically from around 30 or so to 10-15. I now work only on Fr and Sat. and one Sunday a month. I was really upset when I found out, but after having time to think about it, it really is for the better. When I was working 5 days a week, I was also having to have dr. appts for her, dentist appts for both the girls, wic appointments for her and therapy appts for both girls. On top of that, taking care of the house, and taking care of my husband and myself. It was almost impossible for me. Now I am home during the week and dont have to worry about leaving work to take them to appts. I am planning on working on my blog more, cooking more, putting things on ebay and mystery shopping for extra money. This can be done!!!!! I know it will be okay.!!!!!!!!!

Walmart and Save a lot finds

I work in the beauty salon inside Walmart and when it is slow, I like to go look for clearance items. I found this weekend 2 full shelves of clearance items. Mainly pickles and most under 1.00. I was able to snag quite a few jars of Peter Piper pickles for the girls. I also found Ball park franks 2for 3.00 with the 1.00 off 2. They were 1.00 each.

If you have a Save A Lot, check for store coupons. I found 2 the other day expiring 7/30 and 9/30. One for 1.00 off diamond fall sugar when you buy 10 kool aid packs and one free tostito chips when you buy cheese. Cant remember the brand of cheese but its like Velveeta. Hope yall are able to get some good deals

Mailbox today

I got my buzzagent razor today. It looks like a good one. I also got coupons from conagra with a free hunts ketchup and the rebate form for 34.00 more in coupons. Cant wait to use these.

End of school year

Today is the last day of school for my oldest daughter Emily. Meaghans last day was yesterday and is so ready for it. Now I am really needing to get back to couponing especially snacks since they are home all the time. Usually summer is the time my grocery bill goes up since they are home all the time. What are some deals going on right now for snacks. Leave me a comment and let me know.

Oppostional Defiance Disorder

If you have a child with this, you know how difficult life can be. My oldest daughter was diagnosed with this last fall and iy has been hard. I have been told I am a bad mother, that all she needs is a good whipping and been made to feel like a complete failure as a mother. When you have children there is no handbook to tell you how to raise them, you do the best that you can. Right now we have begun an intensive home therapy designed to keep her out of long tem care. We have been trying to get her in this program since Oct and they finally came through. Hopefully this will be her salvation and after we complete this program she will be better.

Working now

I am sorry I have not posted in a couple of weeks but I started a new job on 3/16/2009. I am a licensed hairstylist and have had to go back to work to help out with income. I have been working a lot of hours and only have 2 days off. I am still going to be blogging every week and once I get my routine down, I will be posting my menu plan again.
