A Dear Friend's Inspiration

An old college friend of mine has been saving

outrageous sums of money on her grocery bills

by utilizing coupons, sales, and discount grocery stores.

I thought I would try to follow in her footsteps.

I printed some coupons off the internet

of things I knew we would use.

Then, I was off to the store.

Some of my items were on sale

making my savings even greater.

I was extremely excited and could not wait to see how

much we had saved.

When I got to the checkout line, I had the rudest

clerk ever. All my thrills were

dashed by her mannerisms.

She mumbled so I could not hear

anything she was saying, she looked unhappy to be

there, and at the end of all that ringing, she warned me that

some internet coupons are counterfeit. How do you

get a counterfeit coupon!? I use coupon mom and grocery coupon

network and have never had any problems.

Here is my small fortune. All this cost $50,

but I was able to save $15 from coupons.

So my grand total was just over $35.

Not a bad start, but next time I hope

to save a lot more.

Happy shopping everyone.

Apple Festival

OK, I was too excited to wait on this new post. We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon. We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going. It was fun. People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples. Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music. We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream. While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine. Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner. Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt. He had the number 7 and at the top it said Baby Maker. This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids. A Valentine's gift from a dear husband. I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores. Just trying to tackle one room at a time. The first room I cleaned was the children's living room. Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over the footboard on my bed. Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...
