Thank You is not optional
My mom always taught me to say thank you AND send a Thank You card for any gift received. After years and years of doing so, I realize this is not the norm. Sadly people don't care enough to acknowledge your gift etc. and I find that very, very rude, selfish and lazy. Whatever happened to common courtesy?
Both of my kids send 'Thank Yous' which are better late than never you can say...usually within a month of receiving...
We hardly ever give gifts anymore because we have been burned so many times with users and unthankful people! I mean honestly, you can pick up some nice cards at the Dollar Store so there is no excuse. Just remember KARMA and she does get around! ;)

My deals of the week!
Grocery shopping was an epic win this week! I had quite a few store coupons to match with my manufacturers coupons and the B1G1 sale was an added bonus for sure. Win win! Though it does take time and energy we split our order and earned 200 gas points to go along with that!
We got our free baby carrots (saved $1.79) grabbed the last Turkey Hill Sun Brew Iced tea for 0.49 cents (discontinued sale + $1.00 off coupon), 10 oz A1 sauce was 0.85 cents (manufacturer's coupon was doubled + store coupon), 2 Smithfield Teriyaki pork loins 4.99 for both( 2 coupons + B1G1 sale), Perrys Ice cream(2 coupons + B1G1 sale) making it 3.79 for 2. These were just a few of my GREAT deals for the week. Our total was $89.90 and we paid just over $40.00! That's what I'm talkin bout :)
Habits
I was thinking today, mostly about so many of the unethical happenings in my area. For such a small Town, its really worked up a name for itself and not in a good way. So many here have that sense of entitlement..sorry we don't owe you anything! So many moochers and its a sad thing...
Habits die hard. Yeah I get it. We all have them. But why must one person take advantage of everyone? That's what I don't get.
On a good note, we have a fun weekend coming up, the rain is definitely helping our garden and a 4 day Weekend! What's not to love about that :) So proud of my guy! He's down to one a day and that is a HUGE accomplishment since he has been smoking for almost 17 years! Bravo babe I am proud and you can do this <3 *muah*

Well I knew what I didn't want to know...And I saw where I didn't want to go..So I took the path less traveled on...And Ill let my stories be whispered when I'm gone..When I'm gone..When I'm gone..When I'm gone..
Well in this life you must find something to live for..Cause when the darkness comes a callin' you'll go back to where you were before...cause this life is as fragile as a dream...And nothings ever really as it seems...as it seems..as it seems...as it seems..

Existential
I planted some Marigolds today while DH was mowing the lawn. My second planting of lettuce will go in the ground tomorrow if there's time! Such a busy week. Its only the first week of May and I have tan lines lmbo. We are so blessed to be Independent! So many friends have had to either sell their house or foreclose and go back home to live with their parents. My husband works very hard so that's possible and we truly appreciate everything he does for us <3
Ferdinands been clingy and sick...his paws swell up on hot days...but he's still going strong even at 14 years of age and only gets pain management as needed. He loves his brothers <3 Though he hasn't been himself since Jr. passed away...

Harmonious
The last few weeks I have put all of my extra energy into the people I actually care about and I love how I feel because of it :)
Some people think they can break you down and after time and dwelling on my family and their daily needs..I now realize that can only happen if you let them! And I wont let them! Don't give them the satisfaction. Trust me if you cut out the negativity and distraction your life will change <3
We have been happy as a whole family probably for the first time ever. Healthier changes all around. Mentally. Physically. Spirituality.

Hello May
Sooooo looking forward to our family outing this weekend! The kids are super excited too, especially since both had exams this week. We have had so many big changes over the last few weeks and just wanted to say how proud I am to be your wife. You are such a strong person and we appreciate everything you do for us <3 So proud of you babe!
This has been a very very busy start to the week. :)
So very thankful that with help from a few herbal supplements remission is here for now! I have been able to spend more time with my kids without the suffering and pain <3 {3 yrs into dx and doing well! Dr still thinks I have a chronic, undiagnosed autoimmune disease.}
I have this feeling May is going to fly on by even faster than April did. Can't believe the year is almost half over already! Hope you are all having a great week. BFN!
