Chicago, Day 3
Wednesday morning started off bright and early. Everyone kind of ended up getting up at about 6:35. We had set an alarm for 7, in the hopes of getting an earlier start on the day than the day before. We went and ate breakfast and when we returned to our room we realized we had…

Chicago, Night 2
Well that last post was getting a bit long, so I thought I’d write a separate one for last night. The night went much better. We stuck Joel in his crib in one of those bathrooms, and that seemed to work out pretty well. That allowed us to sleep on the bed, which was much…

Chicago, Day 2
First of all, I wrote a nice long post detailing yesterday but lo, Blogger ate it. I will try to recreate it, but can’t promise to do it justice. Just think of how funny I am, and I’m sure that you’ll be able to imagine that my other post was 40 times as funny 🙂…

Chicago, Night 1
Quick recap of last night. It was a bit of madness. It all started out pretty well. The kids all went to bed at like 7 p.m. All 3 of them went to sleep after only minor fussage. I forgot when we went to bed but we were both pretty tired – maybe 10? The…

Chicago, Day 1
Well, we’re off. I guess technically, as I write this, we were off this morning and are currently there. Quick recap of the day: We got up at a regular time, and while Carolyn was feeding Joel, I made a quick trip to Kroger to pick up some things for the trip. I felt so…

Workin at the coal mine
Well it’s been awhile since I posted, but I thought I would let everyone know about my very hard week that I’m going to have at work the rest of the week. It’s veeerrrry difficult. First, today (Wednesday) I have a free 10 minute massage in the morning. Then an ice cream social at 3…

Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day to all those fathers out there!!! I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes, and certainly my favorite Father’s Day quote: It should have great meaning that of all the titles of respect and honor and admiration that could be given him, that God himself, he who is the highest of…

June Super Doubles report
Quick recap of my super double coupons week last week at Meijer. My goal was $1000 of groceries for no money, and I am sorry to report that I failed on both counts. Still, I had a pretty good week, with $871.16 of groceries for $2.54. I was negative for most of the week, but…

Super doubles update
Well, it’s just about midway through the week so I thought I’d post for a super double coupons update at Meijer. Unfortunately most of my records are elsewhere, but I think I can give you an estimate. About $420 of stuff for about negative $4. So, given that I should have some more coupons coming…
