A Better Night..

Hello everyone. Its almost 1am here and I got to get this post done fast so I can lay down and try to get some sleep.

Tonight was easy compared to the last couple of nights. There has just been a lot going on around here and its not been the easiest of times. But I have been praying and just trying to find my way through the stress. Thanks to a very loving and supporting mom and a couple great girlfriends.. I have had so much wisdom and love sent my way, that I am so grateful for. Its because of them that I am getting stronger by the day.

I did manage to go out and do

some food shopping today. I just browsed the isles one by one and got some goodies for us all. Isn't it amazing how much groceries have went up. I hate spending so much money at the store. So today I armed myself with a bunch of coupons and actually saved about $12.00 on a $ 40.00 bill. Not too bad huh? Every penny counts in our house since we are a single income family. If I would have prepared better, I bet I could have saved more.

Besides that one errand, I stayed around the house. When Scott walked through the door he brought

flowers. We have been at each others throats for a few days but I think this was a kind of truths with him and I. Neither of us want to fight and argue..but sometimes its hard to stop. So when he made a effort with the flowers ( among other things ) I decided to make the same effort. And it worked. We had a rather peaceful night.

I cooked a really simple

baked pork chop meal.. I will be sure to put that post up tomorrow for you guys. It was easy and both of the guys really liked it. Last night husby was on strike with dinner because I made pasta but he was sure hungry tonight!

So I have been going through my emails from you guys. I will be getting another question and answer post together in the coming days too. I am sorry that I haven't answered them one by one. I have a folder in my email just for questions and then when I get a bunch.. I do a post with all the answers. I am pretty caught up at the moment with emails besides the questions. Thanks for being patient with me.

We have so much going on right now. Our daughter Laura, her husband Jerred and their baby Ashlynn are going to be here on Thursday night. I put the breaks on it until things got sorted out but they will be coming. They are moving here. Laura will be leaving after a few days and Jerred will be staying and starting to work for Scott. I am not sure how he will like all those hours but he has 1 baby.. 1 baby on the way and a wife to support so its something we want him to take serious. She will be back after the baby is born in May. I don't know how long he will be staying with us. He says just a few weeks until he finds a house. They are suppose to go out looking for houses this weekend.

Of course Michael is still here. He will be moving out in April. I am not allowed to say where he is moving for privacy reasons but he will be here with them too. So we are really going to have a full house.

My sister was going to come but she wanted to bring her boyfriend and another good friend of hers and I had to put on the breaks.. I just can't have that many people here at one time. I don't think I could afford to feed everyone and I don't have beds for 8 people. I sure hope she picks another time and comes. I would love to see her. One of the reasons she was cancelled was that is just a spring break for her where as the kids need to be here right now for work reasons. Neither of them are working and its pretty important that they come and get back on their feet.

It was a pretty day today and I spent a lot of my time outside at my new patio table. I blogged from there almost all day. I love it out there now. But our pretty weather is going away and its suppose to rain for the next few days. Just a few minutes ago I put down the umbrella and brought in the cushions. I know they are weather proof but I really didn't want them getting soaked being they are so new. And then I would have to wait for them to dry out if I wanted to sit on them right away.. so they are inside right now.

I am actually sleeping with my windows open tonight. Not all the way but a lot of the way. It just feels so good out. I love sleeping with the windows open but only because we are on the 2nd floor. I don't really recommend sleeping with the windows open on the first floor. I just don't think its safe now days. I am sure I might be over reacting but I wouldn't do it. And the sun coming in is a great way to help wake me up. I am doing really good with falling to sleep earlier. So on that note.. I am about to shut this laptop and start dreaming.

Hope you have a great Wednesday.

xoxo
