My weekend turned out much better than expected. My husband and kids ROCK! no pun intended! Mark went to his dad's for three hours on Saturday and got as much done in those three hours as had been done in all the hours prior. His parents were going on and on about what a hard worker he is and how they raised him so well! Too funny! Then yesterday Mark and the three oldest kids went and finished moving all the rock and raking it and were done in two hours! The kids all made a little money and my FIL even gave the teenager some bonus money because he worked so hard! They all just wanted to get done. so we ended up having a nice day anyway. We got tons of stuff done in our yards and courtyard over the weekend and my house is looking lovely!

FE is home sick today. He was warm last night after church and was up a lot all night. He still felt warm and icky this morning, so I kept him home. He's fine now! Of course!

Made my second grocery trip with the coupons today. One of the things to wrap your head around is buying stuff that you don't need right now, but you will in the future, and it's much cheaper now! It's about stocking up when things are at rock bottom prices. And I did! I saved almost as much as I spent. 45% savings. I am going to another store tonight because some of the stuff I need is much cheaper there. I used to do multiple grocery stores but had gotten away from that. I think i can manage two though if my savings are going to be so great!

Short week this week. the kids have no school Friday and Mark and I are off as well, so we're going to go play! Mini golf and a movie I think. I can't wait!
