I definitely will be going to the store every two weeks for groceries in the morning. There was no one there!! And I spend only 65.00 for two weeks of groceries! I spend that for one week when hubby is with. I told hubby that I would take him out for lunch with the money I saved....LOL!!! So we both win. I do have to buy Hamburger from Sam's club yet and pull-ups. But still very good for two weeks. I have quite a bit in my freezer that we are trying to use up!
Well Hubby and Tommy are out of bed now and getting ready to go run errands. Josh is still sleeping.

Morning.....Day #1 of Vacation.....I didn't sleep in too late as I don't want to get off schedule and stuff. I was up around 7:30 so that is sleeping in! Today is errand day...so we will run and get the things we need for the next week or so. I have my menu made for the next two weeks, so groceries should last two weeks. Since I need so little groceries, I dont' think we will be goign to Aldi today. We will jsut hit Cub and Sam's I guess. I sure hope I can keep to the list! I can if I go before hubby gets up! LOL!! He is terrible at the store.
Other than that I have no idea what we will do....I think I am treating hubby out for lunch and stopping at Blockbuster for movies. That will probably be our day.

Three more days of work and then VACATION.........I can make it!
I so need a break. I have to call the Dr again today since my breathing has gotten much worse again. I need to increase my predisone again. It doesn't help that I had to work so late last night. Erik had a Dr appointment and I had to work late to get my 8 hours in for the day. I actually worked 9 hours, but I have alot of work to do before I can feel comfortable going on vacation.
Last night as I am leaving the office my cell phone is ringing. Hubby called to say the furnance isn't working and it got really hot and was smelling like something was burning. ARGH!! It is really cold here in MN right now so a furnance problem is not good. We had a tech out late last night and he said the blower motor was going out. He didn't have one on his truck, but had gotten the furnance working again. Well after he was gone about 45 minutes it started smelling again. We took the filters and electrostatic cleaner out and it got the air flowing enough that the blower motor turned on again. We made it through the night and the furnance kept heating the house. I keep Tommy in bed with me all night jsut in case the heat stop in the middle of the night so he would be warm enough. They are coming today at 3:00 to put a new motor in. It will be over $500.00....argh! Today is one of the coldest days of the year.....great time to be without a furnance. I am really disappointed in our furnance and central air. they aren't that old...the central air motor went out when it was 4 years old...and now the furnance goes out and it is only about 7 years old. Shouldn't they last longer than that! Well certainly another test of my frugal and budgeting skills.
Today....I am working a normal day. I have anew client I am meeting, but otherwise I am in the office doing paperwork. Tonight we are at church....we are facilitating the parenting class. Our disussion tonight is about Mom & Dad vs Husband & Wife relationship. I have to remember to drop off some flyers for our cooking session.
Well I am way behind schedule I better get ready for work. I have a hard time getting to sleep at a desent time when I work late, than of course I can't get up in the morning. Later! I suppose I should neb befroe heading to work! Have a great day!

Man did I have a hard time getting up this morning......only 4 more days of work and then I am on vacation!! I can't wait!! I have to take some time off today to go to another one of Erik's Dr. appointments. My hubby is very adament that I be there, so that means I have to work late tonight to get my 45 hours in for the week. He said they would do the weekly chores for me so that will be good!
I am down to 30 mg of predisone and my coughing is coming back. GRRRR....I am increasing my pulmicort so hopefully that will take care of it. I am still nebing at least once a day. I want to get off this predisone so badly!! The side effects are too much.
