First of all, listening to kids argue is so much fun. Just about as fun as looking up info on orange nj cosmetic dentists online or clipping toe nails .. or .. well .. ugh!!!

Anyway, I spent almost the entire day OUT. It was heavenly. I wasn’t child free but having only one to deal with is so much easier. There’s no fighting, or arguing or as much begging for needless items at the store. Heavenly. I decided early on today that i would just take Ray to work so I would have the van to myself. I’m almost tempted to do that daily. I feel so much better when I’ve been around other people and you know, breathed oxygen!

I had a great Target trip and saved a ton, as usual. $30 this time in coupons all thanks to my newly organized coupon binder. Yes, a binder! I’ve moved on from using those small coupon clutches for my purse and I’m now carrying a regular school binder. LOL It’s filled with baseball card holders (so each coupon can be seen easily) and organized in order of the aisles of my favorite stores. It’s just wonderful. I thought I would feel like a total douche walking around with it but instead I feel bad for the people who are shopping and paying FULL price for stuff. Why do that? I spend a fair amount of time organizing, clipping and making plans but it really pays off. For months now I’ve saved on average of $400 per month with coupons. That’s $400 worth of stuff free. My pantry is overflowing and I haven’t paid for toiletry type items in a couple of years.
