All in all a pretty good day. I got a lot of meat on clearance - my favorite buy of the day was the chicken for $.249 per lb. :) I did try to buy some Dove Shampoo - things were really busy, I read the coupon as $3 on one, it was actually for 2, so after buying 4 shampoos and losing my coupons I went back and tried to get my money back. I told them I had a coupon and they still gave me full price back. I argued to give them the money overage back, but they refused - so I ended up making $6 on that. NOT my intention, and I feel very guilty with this money, but what do you do? I tried to make it right and the guy told me to forget it - he couldn't get teh coupon to prove, so store policy was to give the full amount. :) Then I got home and PRAISE GOD we had a check for $489 from our home in TN - the overage on the escrow account. What a blessing!!!! Excellent Shopping - Excellent mail day, WOW!!!! Tim slept 16 hours last night - I couldn't BELIEVE it!!!! WOW!!
We had a rather horrible weekend, though - in some ways. Friday night we had to attend a birthday party for a young man in church - he turned 5 and we had a wonderful time. I was sick most of the time, but it was so sweet to see him. At the end of the party though, we got a call that one of our dear pastors was killed in a motorcycle accident. He wasn't our pastor, but the one of a sister congregation. We all fellowshipped together - we still have several campmeetings every year and all the pastors are thought of as OUR pastors, they are so special to us. He is the father of 4 children, the youngest is only 6. That tore us up for the weekend. But...precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
Saturday Tim went and helped at one of those campgrounds - it's aroun 2.5 hours away, and coming pu in May we will spend a week there. It's not a typical "church camp" where you ride horses and swim, it's an OLD Fashioned CAMPMEETING - services 3 times a day, meals on the grounds, etc. We have plenty of time to play volleyball, games, or just sit and talk with people who travel all over the world to stay in block dormitories - no air at all, in the middle of an alabama summer!! It's truly the HIGHLIGHT of our summers! Anyway, it needs work close to the time, so our men travel several weekends during april and may to help paint, build and clean. The women go next week and the week directly before the meeting. Cannot wait!
Sunday was church, then home where I fixed lunch and napped for a while. This baby makes me very, very tired for sure!
We are planning on finally notifying the doctor that I am pregnant again this week.
Also, Tim JUST called to let me know that yes, in fact we DID get the car we needed - we're going to be driving a wonderful wonderful car soon!!!! Such a blessing!!!
I am also looking in to buying cloth diapers for the new baby - does anyone have any suggestions on the cheapest and neatest ways? Tim is adamant that it doesn't save money when you factor in electricity and washing costs, so I'm trying to respectfully gather information so that I can prove that it will save money - especially with two in diapers! :) Information would be SO appreciated! Please leave me a comment if you read - I really need the encouragement to keep blogging!! I'll be back with Menus soon!

I know it is hard to keep blogging when you think no one is reading. I encourage you to keep at it! I have been blogging for about two years. I don't get alot of comments, but I have seen the traffic pick up. I have enjoyed my visits here and will be adding you to my blogroll. I plan to make you part of my day!
I wish you the best with your new baby. I will be praying that for your new little one and for you also. I can not even imagine how tough it is feeling sick often.
I can't wait to hear more about your wonderful car. ~Wendi
Hi! Cloth diapers don't costafter , you buy them. I used just the cheap ones from K-Mart And they were fine. I had plastic pants over them or sometimes not. It doesn't cost much to wash a load of diapers every couple days. I actually washed all ours by hand in the tub, as we had no washer. disposable diapers are made of materials that pose health risks to children from endocrine disruptors & the chemicals made from. Blessings,lisa
