CBS Early Show & Cancer Update

Went today for my 3 month check up and everything looks good. She has lowered my hormone level to see if that will control my acne. I never had much as a teenager. . . guess I am making up for it now. Hopefully this will get my face cleared up.  I will go back in June for a PT scan and another pap smear. So THANK YOU all for you faithful prayers. 

On another note . . . . I know this was barley 15 minutes long but how cool is it to be on CBS The Early Show!!

Just took Grocery Shopping to a WHOLE NOTHA LEVEL

On Friday, I took another quick trip to Publix for a few things:

1. 3 ~ 2 liters of Soda
2. 2 ~ Can-Grape Juice
3. 2 ~ Boxes of Cheerios
4. A dozen eggs
5. 1 ~ box of egg beaters
6. 2~ Venus Razors (battery kind)

The receipt turned out a little blurry. But I saved $47.00 and they paid me $1.29 to take all that stuff. 

Snap . . .  

Just call me the:

I even found a crown to go with all the money I am saving:

This has become a game for me to see how much I can save each time I go shopping.You can do this too. I started 2 months ago wanting to shave $100.00 off my grocery budget each month. This month it looks like I will shave $250.00 or more off the $600.00 budget. This feeds a family of 5, plus 3 dogs. Grocery shopping like this is a BLAST!!

Our Three Amigo's

Something often overlooked on our blogs is the ‘other’ family member that sleeps at the end of the bed.  We fail to mention our fur children even though they are a huge part of our lives. Is your ‘pet’ is really the king or queen of the house? Maybe you just tolerate having an animal because the husband or kids can’t live without one. Or some of you might be ‘animal free’, take issue with ‘just another responsibility’, or find that you’re deathly allergic to dander. With as much a part of our personal lives as pets tend to be, I figured it would be good to share about our animal friends (or the lack of them).Who doesn’t love looking at furry critters - even if they aren’t your own? Some of us spend more time inhaling them than looking at them (cat belly can be addictive). Let’s not forget the slimy froggies, swimmy fish, feathery birds and other interesting creatures that some keep, also! Do you have an exotic pet to tell about? Or a neat animal story? Have you ever rescued a wild forest animal or had something strange wander up on to your porch? Tell us your pet history. What was your first pet? Which was your most memorable? How about today? How many pets do you have? Do they help or hinder your homeschooling?

Our 4-legged family members:

This is Jessie AKA Jack Russell Rat Terrier. She is Shalyn's dog for the main reason: She is a GREEN dog, before GREEN was in. She likes to eat POOP and I will leave it at that. She also just sits there and lets Shalyn do anything to her that she wants to do.

This is June Bug AKA English Bulldog. It's my sons dog, he's 21 . . . so lets be honest she's really my dog. Scottlyn claims that she is now hers. He breeds her and hopefully she is pregnant again. She is as dumb as she looks . .  but she's so cute!

This is Little Bug AKA English Bulldog. June Bug is her MAMA. Last Fall June Bug had a single puppy and we keep her. The day we brought her home she fit in my hand. Now look at her, she is bigger than Jessie and  as long as her mama. She keeps us on our toes. This is Tom's dog . .  she knows who her master is! 

All three Amigo's together . . . 

I would say that they make our life interesting. They spend each moment with us as we school. They also give the girls added responsibility because they are the ones who feed and take them outside. We love our dogs!

They R Ready 4 Spring

We are going to be in the 70's by this weekend. For me to tell you that we are so ready for SPRING is such an understatement. This mourning the girls came out dressed like this:

They pointed out to me that they do have on long sleeve shirts!! I am in some much needed Vitamin D and the girls are in need of some outside play time. For more Word-Filled Wednesdays visit Amy.
