Just a quick trip to the ER...

So day before yesterday, I woke up with my face feeling fizzy and my arm hurting. Fast forward to yesterday and still not feeling well. Made an appt for today but by 330pm yesterday, I felt really off and had Mr. Man take me to the ER. After an EKG, blood tests, and chest X-ray, I was given the all clear. Doc thinks it is most likely muscle strain if not my neck. Even though I am not thrilled about getting the ER bill, I think my piece of mind is worth that and much more. It absolutely crushed me to leave the kiddos with family when I left. I rarely go to the doc because thankfully I'm okay most of the time but yesterday really freaked me out. An emergency fund is so important in times like these and well ours is pretty much nonexistent but I can't even complain about that. I'm just glad the doc said I was okay.  On a funny note, after I came home Kiddo1 pointed out that it was a no spend day because we had lunch at Grandma's house and dinner was bought by my sist...

Friday!

I so love Fridays!  Mr. Man says everyday is my Friday which is so not true.  He thinks that because I stay at home but he forgets how much there is to do in the course of a day.  So today's schedule looks like this: Do Laundry all day (load/unload as I come and go) Go to Kiddo2's school to pick up paperwork Take Kiddos to the park - they need some sun :) Mail Ebay packages Figure out lunch! Clean bathrooms Sort through closets (thinking about putting up a yard sale tomorrow) Wash dishes (I have a dishwasher but don't like using it) Make dinner Hoping and praying its a No Spend Day but with the kiddos nothing is ever guaranteed :D  I think I can get through the entire list today.  Maybe even add a walk by the bay later this evening. We will see!  What is your Friday looking like?

A No Spend Day!

Today was one of those rare no spend days...I definitely need more of them :) . Kiddo2 needed some things for lunch so I decided to head on over to Walmart and see what I could get for under $7.23 (the balance of a visa gift card I recently got in the mail).  Here's what I purchased: One 6 pack of Lays potato chips -2.18 One carton of strawberries - 1.88 One 10pk of 100% Minute Maid Juice - 2.98 One small package of Schar's Gluten Free Wafers (can be used for two lunches) -1.67 Used a $1 off Minute Maid coupon Used a $2 off any Schar's product coupon (WM gives overage which is a plus) Total was $5.71 Balance remaining on gc - $1.52 On my way out the store, I returned my cart and found a $3 coupon sitting in a cart for another grocery store which will get me $3 in baby food free (Kiddo1 and I love eating the banana baby food as a snack...lol). Its literally the little things in life that make me happy :P
