Oooops

Okay so I went shopping yesterday. Don't judge me! I was dropping off a tone of STUFF that I was getting rid of and donating to Goodwill. I thought I would go in and just see what was there and I did end up buying a rocking chair. I have been wanting 2 more for my wrap around porch. The good news is they had all their furniture 25% off and I ended up paying $6 for it. I think it was a great deal and it was used. Think of it as recycling. =) I have the paint in my garage too. If you are confused on what I am talking about see previous post.

I did manage to completely declutter my kitchen yesterday. I got rid of so much STUFF that we do no use. How many plastic cups can one family have?! Anyway, it is so nice to see my organized cabinets and pantry.

The bad news is that I did go grocery shopping and only used two coupons. Needless to say I did not say a ton of money but I am working on it. I have found some great sites that will take a little time to figure out how it all works. Maybe the next grocery trip will be more successful.

I forgot to mention the other day I picked up two hitchhikers. I drove by two very young looking girls, I would guess 14, with their thumbs in the air. Who does that!?! I pulled over and they both got in the van with me, a complete stranger. They both were carrying shopping bags and did not realize how far the Mall was from their house. When they were tired they decided to hitch a ride. I lectured them the whole way on the dangers... blah blah blah. They just looked at me with blank stares. They lived in a really nice neighborhood and those shopping bags are from stores that are too pricey for me. So that started me thinking about how children today are so un-grateful and think they deserve everything handed to them. I want my children to know and appreciate what is truly important in life and not the STUFF! See now we have come full circle, well sort of.
