Twice in the Same Day!
Who would have thought that I would post twice in the same day? WOO HOO!!!
This has been a strange week for me, and I'm still not sure why. It started out great...Michael and I had a good weekend together not really doing a whole lot. We cleaned our house that REALLY needed it since we have all of our water working again, grilled a lot and even went to a late movie Saturday night. We watched "The Strangers"....what a movie--DON'T go see it alone...BAD idea! We hadn't been there 30 minutes when a very large grown man went running out of the theatre...I never saw him come back.
Monday, I took the day off to spend with the hubby...again we didn't do a whole lot, but it was great to be able to spend the day together. I love days like that...
Last night, we were supposed to have a game at 5:30, but the field was too wet (even though we couldn't tell it by looking at it). It's probably for the best that it was "rained out" though because we still don't have all of our girls back yet. We have another game Friday night and two Saturday, so I hope that most of our girls will be back for those--we really want to hold on to our second place title. We are also having All Star teams this year (a first ever for the girls) and now the hard part comes in...Ked and I have to decide who to nominate off of our team. We have some idea, but are still trying to decide what to do.
Today, I've just been in a weird mood...not really a bad mood though, so I guess that's good. Ked and I went and ate lunch at Ameca which was good and we got to catch up on some conversations so that was good, too. It's amazing how little we get to talk when we are at ball games or practices...lol
Now, I'm trying to decide if I'm going to go to women's group for our church tonight...decisions, decisions...

Game Tonight...
Say a little prayer that we have enough girls to play...we have several on vacation and a couple that for some reason have stopped showing up. Wish us luck!

For those of you keeping up...
We have a new septic tank installed! Actually, we've had it for a couple of days, but I haven't had time to get on here. The man came and put it in on Tuesday and Michael and my dad have done the plumbing under the house. The original plan was to have a plumber do that part, but it is so hard to get in touch with a plumber in this town that we finally gave up and said we would do it ourselves! I am so glad that I have a husband that can do things like that if that's the route that we have to take!
The team that Ked and I are coaching (the Orioles) lost on Tuesday...due to lack of players showing up. We really haven't had a problem with that until now....but vacation time has hit and it seems like it hit for everyone at the same time. It looks like we will have even more gone for Friday's game, so it's not looking good for us to hold on to our second place that we worked so hard for...oh well, guess we'll see. Maybe we're not the only team that has everybody out on vacation...lol
Work is still hectic, but getting better. I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel...lol
Other than that, not much is going on. Michael and I are looking forward to being able to really clean our house this weekend (since we can actually use our water again) and hanging out with some friends this weekend. I am also hoping to be able to make it to Jordan's game today since I haven't made it to as many as I would like so far...
Hope everyone has a good rest of the week!

A little of this and that...
I know I don't blog as much as I should, but it seems like we've been so busy lately that I haven't really had time...and when I do have time, I find something else that needs to be done more. lol
Work has been crazy--we are short staffed and it seems like there is way more to do than there is time to do it. I have come to the conclusion that all I can do is try my best to get it all done and if something doesn't get done...well, there's always tomorrow.
Ked and I decided to coach a 9 and 10 year old girls softball team this summer and it has actually been a lot of fun. We have some great girls on our team and we've only lost one game so far-I am so proud of them! It seems like that has kept us both way more busy than we would have thought--we have something every night but Wednesdays it seems.
Michael and I found out that we have to get a new septic tank put in...fun, fun. The man is supposed to be at the house to do that Friday or Monday, so pray for us--those things get expensive! lol
I will try to be more consistent on my blogging for a while, but I'm not making any promises...lol

Money Saving...
I have put myself on somewhat of a budget and to my surprise, I'm kind of enjoying it so far. Yesterday, Michael and I sat down and made a "menu" for the week...this included our "nightly" meals and nothing else. I made my grocery list by this menu and also got a few quick and easy things for breakfast and lunch.
I started off my grocery shopping at Sav-A-Lot and was impressed at how much of my stuff I could actually get there and how cheap it was. I got all of our meat there, which I think is the best in town, and also a lot of the other items that I needed. Then, it was off to Wal-Mart for the few things that I couldn't get at Sav-A-Lot and to Piggly Wiggly for some deli meat (I love their cajun turkey and can't find anything else comparable, so I'll spend a little extra on it).
Today, I am brown bagging it...lol...It amazes me how much people spend (me included) when they buy their lunch every day. So, starting today, I will be bringing left-overs or a sandwich on most days to eat for lunch. This food will be better for me and save us a ton in the long run.
So, no more "stupid" spending for us for a while. We will only eat out for "special" occasions during the week, no trips to Burger King for breakfast or out to "grab a quick bite" for lunch; no more "Oh, let's get this or that for the house", (the house is fine just like it is, and there's no reason to buy something just to buy it) ; and no more unnecessary trips to town to pick up one or two things...if we needed it that bad, we should have gotten it while we were in town. Gas is too high to make several trips a day to town.
Here's to saving money...lol
