Day 182 of 365

Have had an amazing day with the kids and Jim.  Did some grocery shopping then cooked with the kids.  We played Bunco and Apples to Apples and watched Remember Me.  I couldn't have asked for a better day with the family :)  Thanks to all of you for making it special!

Day 181 of 365

We made it home safe and sound.  So glad to have Kyle with us this weekend.  It has been too long since we all got to spend time together.  Will miss Zach being here, but I hope he is having fun in Austin.  Love to all!

Day 180 of 365

Busy day.  Had to take Jim to see Mary for his checkup, then dropped him off at work.  Came home and before I got in the door, Daddy was calling and wanting some Daddy/Daughter time (for those of you that don't know this, Daddy and I play spades online together almost every day).  I had to cut him short so that I could make it to the school in time for Emmy's Cinco de Mayo program.  She was one of only 3 students that read their essays in front of the whole school. "What Cinco de Mayo means to me as an American"  She did a lovely job.  After school we headed to Walmart to drop off Jim's scripts.  Picked her up a few things she needed and waited almost 2 hours at the pharmacy.  Should have dropped it and picked it up later.  Picked him up at work and then headed home.  Supper and some straightening.  Before I knew what was going on, it was time for beddy bye.  Night night :)

Day 179 of 365

Obama administration denies aid to wildfire ridden Texas

When there is a disaster someplace else, Texans dig deep and help every single time. We donate money, needed items, time and in many instances, we open the doors to our homes and welcome those in need (have we forgotten about Katrina already?) Now, when we need some help, we are denied? It will only be so long and there will be another revolution across this great Nation. Our citizens are getting tired of government deciding to help many other countries before it helps its own people.  Probably not a good idea to tick off the state that believes in our right to bear arms.

Day 178 of 365

Had a busy, tiring, productive day.  Tomorrow is an early release day so Em and I will head to Waco to get our hair trimmed and maybe pick up a few new outfits for the angel girl since summer is right around the corner.  Also need to turn my unibrow back into two neat eyebrows and make a payment on my ring :)  Hoping I get some rest tonight, as it is very much needed.

Day 177 of 365

Having an owie kind of night and really missing my boys.  Going to bed early. 

Day 176 of 365

We made another Walgreen's run on our way to pick up the Emster earlier today.  Here was our complete haul:

 The total price before coupons and advertised savings would have been $242.61.  After sales and coupons we paid only $61.55 out of pocket and walked away with $20 in register rewards for next time.





It amounts to us paying full price for these 5 items (Proglide razor kits):

And getting these 51 items for free:

3 packs women's razors, 2 packs men's razors, 3 pantene shampoo, 3 pantene conditioner, 4 bottles men's body wash, 4 deodorant, allergy medicine, 2 cans nuts, 2 jars queso, 4 bags hershey's pieces, 3 bags flossers, a 4 pack of scissors, 1 tide to go pen, 1 travel beano (one guess which male member of our house this is for), 3 cans lysol, 2 cans Arizona tea, 1 bottle water, 1 nail clipper, 8 candy bars, mixing spoons and 1 greeting card!


Our coupon total was $120.71 and we will add that to our vacation fund!
