Isn't it great!

I still feel yucky today but I have friends coming over from the MOMS Club to do a Bible study. This is the last week so I feel compelled not to cancel. I have enjoyed leading this study. I have gotten to know some of the moms who participated better, especially those who are new to the Club. I am going to lead another study, but we need to decide if we’re going to continue through the summer or take a break. I prefer to go through the summer, but that means more people in my house since school will be ending soon! Whatever is decided, we are going to study “Lies Women Believe and the Truths that Set them Free” by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. I did this study about 3 years ago and it’s awesome. I look forward to going through it with the Club; it will be very beneficial for all, I hope.

Our home computer is broken so I am forced to rely on TJ’s old laptop. I hate laptops, in particular the lack of a mouse, and pray TJ finds time to fix ours. He has meetings in Charlotte tonight after work so I know I’ll be stuck at least another day on this crummy thing. The ‘G’ key is broken and keeps falling off- it’s definitely seen better days! I am counting my blessings, though, and am thankful to at least have this to check my email. I’d be lost without email! Unfortunately for me, I keep everything in the computer such as addresses, phone numbers, and my family calendar. I have no idea what appointments we have and have no way of accessing the information. Thankfully I got a reminder call for Ta’s appointment tomorrow. It just stinks because I have Mother’s Day cards that I need to mail but have no way of getting the address. I can’t call because I don’t have the phone number written down (it’s on the computer, remember!) and the recipients don’t have email. I’ll have to go the old fashioned route and call everyone I know to get the addresses I need. I have definitely learned a lesson- don’t rely on the computer!

It’s time to finish getting ready for Bible study. T.G. is waking and she needs to get changed. Have a blessed day!

Thursday Thirteen #3

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 jobs I have held. . . 1. Special Olympics Swim Coach Best job ever and very rewarding! 2. Preschool/Youth swim instructor My first job (I volunteered until I got hired on at the Y, then I was paid.) 3. Lifeguard This was my first paid job. 4. Crew Chief/aircraft mechanic on the KC-10 I loved it- I saw the world on this plane and pushed myself the farthest mentally and physically I ever have or ever will again. Of course I missed my family and friends, but if I had to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. 5. Debrief personnel I talked with aircrews after they landed about their flight/mission. I learned the logistical side of flying. 6. Tool Crib personnel I gave the mechanics tools for various jobs needed to fix the airplane. I also inventoried and ordered new tools, and that was fun. Until this job, I had no idea that tool companies have a representative drive around in a truck full of tools for people to use and try. It was during t...

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 Reasons to live in SC. . . 1. Mild winters- it only snows about 1 time per year (unless, of course, you live in the mountains, although I don’t know how much snow even falls there). The average temperature hovers around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. On a cold day, it may drop into the low 40s. On a really cold day, it may be in the 30s, but those are few and far between. 2. Hot summers- summer is my favorite time of year. I love to swim, as do my kids, so we spend a lot of time in our pool. We also like to travel to the beach (we went 3 times last summer!) 3. Friendly people- most everyone waves as you drive down the street. Also, gathering in the warm summer evenings on the front porch is common and a great way to meet new people. 4. Sweet tea- I know you can get this in any Southern state, but I live in SC and that’s why it’s on my list! 5. Peaches and Strawberries- these are the main fruits grown in the part of the state where I reside. I love fr...

Couponing

As you probably noticed, I added a new ticker to the top of my blog. I have recently started to be more diligent with my use of coupons because of the fact that we will soon need to buy a larger vehicle.  We do not currently have a car payment and would like to keep things that way, but quite honestly, we don't have the cash saved up to pay for a vehicle in full (at least not enough cash for a newer vehicle). My goal is to save $2,000 by the end of January 2012. That equates to a savings of about $250 each month. I have always used coupons if I had one, but never really made an effort to maximize my savings potential. Until now. And it's awesome!!! I wish I had started sooner because the savings available are crazy. I love the feeling I get when I save 50% or MORE on foods and items we use every week. Our grocery bill is typically $80-$100 per week or $320-$400 per month. That seems high but considering we're a family of 7, that averages out to about...
