The makings of a coupon Mom

Can I just say that I am very excited about my trip to Kroger yesterday. Thanks to my friend Jen and to Southernsavers.com I think I'm addicted. I have been "playing" this coupon game for a couple of months now, but never seem to get a "good" deal. So I revamped my game and hit jackpot!!

This is just half of the items I got. My counter wasn't big enough to hold it all! Total $117.61 paid $50.99. Thats a savings of $66.62!!!! Love it and so did my hubby.

Taken to young

I have been working on a blog post since last night, but since receiving some sad news this morning, I have decided to dedicate my blog post today to Gaines Adams. Gaines , a defensive lineman for the Chicago Bears who was an all-American at Clemson, died Sunday in South Carolina, the Bears said. He was 26.

The first thing that I thought this morning was "he's taken so soon. He had his whole life ahead of him. He was a good guy." But God has other plans for Gaines Adams today. He had a reason for taking him.

All conscious beings have eternal life. It is the soul of a person that is their life force. The soul desires to have new experiences, or there are younger souls who made a choice of their own free will to enter into physical life for a short time, and their passing would be a catalyst for much needed change and transformation.
I want you to view death as a choice to live in another area or realm. For this is what the soul actually does; it lives in another realm as non-physical soul energy.
Society has created great misunderstandings over death. Far too many people are suffering, and they are suffering because they miss the person they love.

So today we mourn with the Adams family as they grieve for their son, brother, friend. God Bless Gaines Adams.

1 Corinthians 15:55Where, O death, is your victory?Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Pneumonia..why oh why did you pick me?

I don't tend to get sick often, but lately I've caught it all. Stomach flu and now Pneumonia. And can I just say, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy!! Its awful. I feel bad. I hurt. I have fever. I have a cough. And I have no appetite because the ABT is messing with my stomach. (well maybe this will work for my benefit in that I will loose some weight before our weigh in on Monday.)



My husband has stepped up and played the roll of mommy, caretaker, cook, bath giver and bedtime story reader. Thanks honey!! He really is amazing and I couldn't do it without him.



So hopefully with this long weekend, maybe I will recoup and kick this Pneumonia to the curb!! Please keep my in your prayers.

Family time, playing games and reading!

Sundays...I love them!! Most Sundays are spent going to church, napping, cooking dinner, playing and hanging at home. Well today we drove to Joanna to see my parents and spend some good quality family time.

Lunch was great! Low country shrimp boil. If you've never had this you need to try it. Who doesn't like shrimp, potatoes, corn, onion, and sausage? Yummmmm

The kids wanted to play games while the little ones napped so they got out checkers, uno, connect 4 and memory. They had a ball and I think papa Charlie and uncle David did too!

After we stopped in Newberry for supper (like we almost always do) we got home and Ethan was crashed! I hated to wake him, but he hadn't had anything to eat and I knew he'd be hungry. But maybe we should have put him to bed. He was so grouchy!! Geeze.

After supper Nealon grabbed one of his favorite books and read for a little bit . He likes to read, but doesn't spend near enough time doing it. Notice what he's reading? Adventures of Captain Underpants. Only a boy!

I wish we could spend more Sundays like this. My kids love their Granny and Papa!! Happy Sunday everyone.

Blogging? You've got to be kidding me....

What in the world and I doing? Blogging. Well yes its blogging, but really what in the world am I doing blogging? About what? Me? No not really. But my family, my boys, my loves. I'm not the type of person to put myself out there. Never been one to be all that "social", but I thought it might be something fun and new to try. So here we go.

It's A Riddle's Life. Stay, read, enjoy!! I promise to try and keep this up. Who knows maybe I'll turn into a Blogger!!
