Where have the last two months gone?
Well hello there, long time no see. I am sure you are all wondering where I have been and what I have been up to the last two months. I have been chuggin' along in life trying to organize the rooms around the house, finish projects, empty boxes, make 72 hours kits, plan menus, save money grocery shopping by cutting coupons, helping the little girls learn to walk, helping my big girl plant a garden, and well just keeping busy.
Teething has been a real chore. You don't even want me to tell you about the sheer amount of poop or vomit that a little 15 month old can make but I will tell you that I did give 4 baths to each of the girls in one day and I also wased 14 loads of laundry that same day for the very same reason. No they didn't ahve 14 loads worth of messes but it was laundry day so in addition to the 8 loads of laundry I do each week, I washed all sorts of crib sheets and blankets and pajamas and towels that day. The end is in sight, I hope, now we are on the runny nose stage, which can be super gross too.
Hannah is doing great with school, next year she will be doing part 5th grade and part 6th grade so she can be challenged. So smart and equally sassy!
Nathan just got a new job that is a part of a really great company, that is stable and a nice place to work. There is growth potential there--teaching has been set aside yet again, but time will tell.
I have been geeking out with making my grocery budget as small as humanly possible, the other day I saved $50 in coupons for one trip. AWESOME. I spend my free moments during nap time checking out www.funwithfoodstorage.net and www.squarefootgardening.com I am getting pretty good at making homemade bread. Let's just say if we ever lose a job again, please don't take this as a request, but I will be ready for it in the kitchen.
I had a great birthday, lots of calls, emails, a delicious gift card to Olive Garden-thanks Jamie, and a beautiful plant-thanks Ellen, and a nice night with new friends-thanks Tuesday nighters.
I promise to post more again soon, and pictures too.
