Burnt out and Tired

I can't wait for the article to appear in the Miami Herald! I have not told a lot of people because I want it to be a surprise. I am a little burnt out on the couponing for this week. I still may print the CVS list but I can't think of anything that I really really need. Last night, I had a couple of Advil coupons so we got the 40 count gelcaps for 2.49 ea ( i got two), but it is not easy to save money when Marc needs specialty pain items (a thing for the arm which helped it feel a lot better) : ) Darn thing was 15.00 though! I did get a 2 liter bottle of diet cream soda for 50 cents! That is kind of cool, because I really enjoy cream soda. It has to be diet, but I remember when I was a kid, it wasn't. We always went to Pepes pizza in New Haven, and the cream soda was to die for, as well as the pizza. It was a ritual though that could have been fun, but really wasn't because my parents were miserable together.

I think that our kids are very lucky. We have a really good time with them, even when they exasperate us when they don't get along. We have fun but also meaningful conversations, as a family, for which I am soooo grateful.

Tonight we are shopping at Walmart, (per Lauren's request) but I am hesitant to do so because of their policies on organized labor. It feels like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place, because money is so tight. Maybe I'll come up with a better answer as the day progresses.
