Blue

I can't believe how bad I"ve been at updating over the past few weeks. Actually, I can't believe how terrible I've been at doing alot of things!

Working has thrown a big curve ball at me. I suppose I'm not very good at change.

Then, add in that my child support check mysteriously stopped. Again.

AND add in the fact that we were supposed to get our economic stimulus check by the 9th. And we did NOT.

So, I'm down. I'm feeling blue. I've been literally dragging through my daily "have to's" for the past week.

I still have way too much to be thankful for - so I will stop with the complaining. Well, about that anyway! lol

There's no way I'm making budget this month. Not for groceries. Not for gas. I've already put in 71.50 and we need another fill up tomorrow so we'll be at about 125 of our 200 budget by the 11th of the month. *sigh* GAS!

Grocery-wise, I'm doing alright. I spent 90 the first week and I think 80 the second -- and my goal is 80 per week. HOWEVER -- I need a few things before next week.

On a good note, I found three gallons of organic milk marked at 1.00 for 2 and 1.50 for the third. They had a few days before expiration and I know my kids and dh will drink them all quickly.

On a BAD note -- I will NOT do rebates of any kind any more. Well, maybe Walgreen -- but that's it! I threw away the packaging from a 4 dollar thing, didn't send in my 10 dollars' worth at Rite Aid, and THOUGHT I lost my 6 dollar one for a toilet scrubber. Thankfully found that one.

Disorganized (and/or busy people!) should not do rebates! ha! I will stick to CVS. And if you can believe it, I haven't done a single deal in 2 weeks! I plan to go tomorrow. I have 3/15 coupons and a 5 dollar extra bucks to start me out. I spent the rest of my "bucks".

Well, I'm going to watch Grey's Anatomy online now because I fell asleep during it a few days ago!

Have a very blessed Mother's Day!!!!!!

Hugs!
