T.G.'s surgery is scheduled for Monday in Charlotte. We have to be at the hospital at 5:30AM, plus she can't eat after midnight. It's going to be a long day! I am concerned for her about the surgery, but at the same time, it's the same doctor who performed Ta's surgery and he is a Christian. He prayed with us before he took Ta into the O.R. and also mentioned he prayed when he woke that morning (the day of Ta's surgery). It comforted me to know that he understands his hands do the work of God. Does that make sense? Anyway, please pray for a quick recovery and that all of the procedures she is having done will help with her ear troubles.
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...
