Jenny-thanks for being available tomorrow night to do my hair! The reporter from the Miami Herald has scheduled me for a photograph at my house this Friday night for their piece on people who use coupons! This is going to be fun! I love doing something new! I don't know what to expect, and that is how it should be. To have child like feelings about an experience, and to know that I can share about something that has helped me, is so awesome. The first person I called was Lauren. She thought it was so cool. Later she asked me if she could be photgraphed too!
I'm still up with Max. I know I should go to bed. I'm worried that he may wake up and keep me awake.
Money Saving Mom has asked her readers how much they budget for a family's groceries. I was amazed at some of the answers that she got! A lot of people were people from Mid America, who grow their own vegetables, belong to food co-ops (for produce) and even buy half cows from the farm. Their meat is custom cut, frozen, and they eat for a year. That sounds so unusual to me, but not a bad idea, if you have place to store it. I will be buying a freezer beofre the year is up! I am grateful that I have a regular full freezer, and in that freezer is assorted pork chops, a couple of steaks ( i think-I cut back on beef), a lot of chicken, pork sausages, and a little bit of turkey burger. There must be something else, it seems, but I think that this is what there is. I want to get some chicken leg quarters, and some lamb chops this weekend. Honestly, my grocery budget for 4 people is twice what some of the 8 person families are doing. They are a little bit flexible, I am not so much, because I have some food sensitivities. However, I do buy pasta for the kids, and even french bread pizzas.
My eyes are closing. I am tempted to fall in bed with makeup on and everything.
Here's to peace and joy!
