Forget debt. Wow, didn't see this one coming (but, I should have).

$300 Electric bill this month!
$100 Water bill

Everything else was fine. But, $400 when I expected about $200-$250 for both.

Forget debt. Turn off the lights!

On a side note. I found that if I turned the computer off at night I saved $12 a month. Took about 3 months of "experimenting".


No money to get coupons, pay for debt, or take kids...

So I went to Wag's a couple months ago. I was doing the CG deal/P&G deal. Anyways. I tried to use a coupon for buy 3 CG products get free blush. Or something like that.

No, I don't have free movie tickets when you buy Hershey stuff. The movie theater that accepts them is about an hour away.

Hum. Now that I started my own blog at another site. My DH is now starting to put the groceries away before I have to make him?

I was actually going to take pics of my stuff and show it. I figure this is going to last a couple of days. Maybe a full week if I'm lucky.

DD started throwing up in the car. (Stomach Bug). This was Friday by the way.

We were too far from home to just go back. So, littlest one wouldn't stop screaming. 3rd child started gagging. And my 5 year old was like "cool". I didn't want to (close you eyes if you get sick easy) put my hand in the "stuff" just to get her out. But, I won't leave my kids in the car just to run into a store, even for a second. So I looked at my son and I said...
