Happy 6 months old !!

Today my grandson is 6 months old. It is hard to believe that 6 months ago today, this little bundle of joy came into our lives.

Walgreens and CVS yesterday

Went to Walgreens yesterday. Did fairly good. Bought U by Kotex pads, liners, and pads, 2 gummy worms, 2 gummy bears, 2 NB vitamin D, schick hydro razor, 2 Colgate Pro Clinical toothpaste 2 Geisha mushrooms and several more things but cant remember. Paid 12.50 out of pocket saved 60.75. Plan on going back later this week.

New year changes

Since my last post a lot has happened in my house. I was in the ER Jan. 2 for vertigo and couldn't drive for a couple of weeks because of the medicine I was on. On Jan. 4, my 16 year old daughter tripped over one of our dogs and fell on the carport and broke her arm in 2 places. A trip to the er for that and morphine for a couple of days. Then appt with orthopedic surgeon two days later. Surgery recommended for her arm. Not sure about that since she was pregnant at the time but we decided to go ahead and do it. 3 days in the hospital for that. 9 days later get her stitches out and appt with ob. she had already dilated 1 cm and was 80% effaced. 2 days later her water broke and we had to go to the hospital. I feel like all the pain meds she was on kept her pain down. It was surprising that she wasn't in any pain the entire time. Landon Ray was born on Jan. 16 at 12:35 p.m. He wound up in NICU for 8 days as he was 5 weeks early. He is now doing real good and has gained 5 lbs in 2 months. January was a rough month but I have just been chugging along trying to get the best deals that I can..

2010 Goals

As 2010 is rapidly approaching, I have had a little time to sit back and reflect on this past year. We have had a lot going on and I am not where I would like to be at this time. This next year is also going to be exciting as I am going to be a grandmother in February. Hopefully we can make it til then!!!


This next year I have set my goals and I will be updating as I go forward.
Savings account started and funded with 1500.00
Grocery budget reduced
Stockpile built up
small trip in the summer

Please join me as I travel this next year.
