Let's make a deal!!

Well, things are starting to look up! London and I are no longer sick! YAY!

...and then I threw my back out. The good times just keep on coming.

Hopefully after tomorrows visit to the chiropractor, things will be in better shape.

London has rolled over! Drew has also witnessed this so I am not hallucinating or crazy (well, any more crazy than usual at any rate.) We had her laid out on her stomach on the the floor, when she flipped herself over. She seemed a little dazed, and looked like she was wondering what Mommy and Daddy were getting so excited about. We tried to get her to do it again, but she wouldn't here of it! She laid her head down and cried. This is the third time that she's pulled this stunt. We decided that was enough for the day, but I'm confident it will become more of a habit.

I've been trying to get into this whole coupon craze that is going on. People are tightening their budgets, and we are no exception. So, I make the rounds before I go grocery shopping and collect my coupons from the different sites available. I check the weekly ad for several different stores hunting for the best deals. Sometimes its seems a little overwhelming. Most of the coupons I find are for products that I don't even use anyway, because they are usually more expensive than what I would normally buy, and I can't find coupons for the products that I do buy. Grocery shopping is starting to feel like a marathon event. I often find myself feeling inadequate and wondering if it's really worth all the time and energy that I have to put into it (there are people who seems to do it a lot better than I do) but, at least I'm trying. And I think it's making somewhat of a different to our grocery bills and budget. If any of you bloggers out there have any suggestions they would be welcome. Tomorrow the race begins, we'll see how I do this time.

  1. Try Rancho Markets right by you. It is my new fav place to go. Produce is WAY cheap, as is meat...granted I don't get as excited for it as David does. I will have to call you next time I go. I have started splitting my shopping between stores too. I love Smiths with my reward card as I get tons of coupons for stuff I actually use in the mail. I also buy bulk of stuff that goes on sale so I have backup for when it is normal prices. You should totally come to costco with me next time I go, again it comes in bulk so its money up front, but it lasts forever. p.s. I miss you.
