Current status

About this recession... We are such a dramatic nation!!! If people stepped back and had some perspective, then maybe we would all freak out every other hour. The media is the worst!!!! I swear from the way some people talk, we should all just hide in our bomb shelters because the end is near!!
We need to live our lives. By being bombarded with doom and gloom it becomes obsessive. Yes it is a bad bad time, yes we need to make better decisions. But we also need to have hope and live, enjoying the little things in life. Watch a child, all they need is a balloon on a string or some bubbles. Simple things in such a complex world.maybe this recession will help people to realize that material things aren't that grand, and learn to live more simply.

This is for jackie

Ok it's been forever!!! We are all doing well, weather the recession etc.

Lily started walking just shy of 17 months, way to take her time

Anthony doesn't get that we can't spend like crazy anymore, which in turn drives me crazy.

I have found a new obsession, couponing. Today I got b bags of sugar, 2 packs of juice boxes, 2 packs of Hunts Snack Packs, 2 boxes of popcorn, 2 frostings, 2 cake mixes, 10 ramen noodle packs, 2 bags of egg noodles, cherrios, cookie crisp, 12 double roll toilet paper 2 cartons of lemonade, texas toast and 10 lbs of chicken for 35$!!! woohoo!

this is another reason I love the weekends
