All by myself.....

Isn't this a great picture of me and my hubby! Don't you love our 24 cups???

This weekend I was all by myself (except for Caleb and Liberty). Peter went to South Carolina this weekend to take my mother in law home. It has actually been a pretty relaxed time. I unfortunately was sick all weekend with the crud (a Teays Valley,WV term). Caleb had been looking forward to this weekend for a while because I promised that we would get Chinese food. We also watched "Horton hears a Who". Have you ever noticed how politically correct children's movies are??? The world is trying to indoctrinate our children from everyside. Even my kids tell me I need to be "green".....

I've missed blogging! Sometimes I just too busy. For me it is much easier to check other people's blog than to post or comment on other blogs......

We as a family have really been trying to cut down our expenses. I have been cutting coupons for a few months now, and last week it paided off.....I saved $70.00 at Kroger off of our grocery bill! I was so proud of myself! I will be really proud when I reach $100.00! I have found some really cool sites all about saving at the grocery store. One of my favorites is www.moneysavingmom.com! Check it out! Let know how much you start saving!

Everyday from now till Valentines Day I am going to post one thing I love about my husband. Here is #1 : (These are in no particular order)

I love my husband because of his gentleness!

Isn't it amazing how subtly these movies plant thoughts?!
Our kids have Horton Hears a Who, and I'd never seen the beginning until today. There is a part where the mother kangaroo is talking about Horton filling the childrens' minds with crazy ideas...she says, "That's why (her child) is pouch schooled." In other words...she is protecting him...but it doesn't come across in a positive way, since the kangaroo is the fanatical 'bad guy' in the movie.

That is a super picture and I'm totally jealous of your mugs! We use the term "Crud" here in Cabell Co. too btw!

Way to save, girl! Go on double coupon days-that helps. There are hardly any coupons here, and I miss that, but have to find other ways to be creative and save.
