Hi!! Welcome to my blog. :Wave:
Happy to have you here...not sure what you are looking for but what you see is what you get. Heck, I have no idea what I could even blog about that anyone would find interesting but there are lots of things folks watch, read, and listen too that aren't really interesting so what have I got to lose?!?
As for introductions, I am BzyBee and my whole clan is around here somewhere. DH and two kiddos...rapidly turning into real people from the children they used to be.
We coupon and bargain hunt, the kids go to school, DH and I putter around with projects around the house, I work from home, we are debt free except our house, we enjoy our quiet life and family time.
There will be more to come on the above subjects..and probably others. Interesting?? I'll report....you decide.

Where have I been?

I wish I could say that my time spent away from HCW was spent fulfilling some lifelong dream or greater purpose. I was in Kenya, working with orphans or building houses with H4H, or even filming an episode of Wife Swap. 
But no, I just got overwhelmed. My WAH job that supposedly had a 'busy season' Jan. to April is really just busy all the time. By increasing my work hours we are able to pay off our house way before our first kid goes to college and increase our 'fun money' for our family as well. I still debate with myself if it is worth it as I am spending hours sitting behind my desk, working till my eyeballs roll out onto the floor. We have decided that when the house is paid for we will want to take a very nice vacation, maybe Europe or Australia...a real celebration for the work and sacrifice we have all contributed to the effort. And at that time I will probably leave this job and do something I enjoy a bit more. Right now it is still the best fit for our lifestyle and situation.
Along with a hiatus from couponing we took a break on our bathroom project as well. Once things at work slowed down a bit in April we had only a short time to do outdoor work around the house before summer heat rolled in. Now the outdoor work is done (until we paint the shed and move some plants around in the fall) and the kids are out of school. We are getting ready to go camping in July (on and off the whole month
) and then we can start work on the bathroom again in August. Sound like a plan?
So that's about it. Nothing too exciting, but with the kids and DH there is always something going on...but mostly life as usual. A little overwhelming sometimes, a few bumps in the road but we are plugging along.
Time to get back to couponing. We have been eating the stockpile for more than 6 months and I haven't even been shopping triples. Although we could eat for another 2 months without shopping people are starting to grumble around here...'There's nothing to eat'.
DH and the kids are cutting and filing coupons in an effort to help me get back into a routine.
I have checked the sales and made a list, in the next few days I will make my first official coupon shopping trip in months. 
Wish me luck...I hope it is like riding bike and it all comes back easily. I hope I have enough coupons.
