What has my life become?

On Saturday nights, I sit and wait at the computer for one of my favorite websites to update. See they the list of coupon and things that are going to be on sale at my local grocery store. The girls wonder what is mom going to get with coupons this week. It is now a game to me. To save more then I spend. You know it is bad when you have 14 boxes of fruit snacks and you think about when you are going to be able to get more. I also have 16 boxes of cereal right now. LOL. So here I am working on my food storage a little bit at a time.

The not fun part is that the local grocery store will now only accept one coupon at a time now. But the good part is that I have THREE of these stores near me. So I might be having to go to the store three times in one day. But when you are getting toothpaste for free, what do you do?

Then I think about is this what my life has come to? Grocery shopping? Saving money. It is not because I have to. It is because I find new ways to entertain myself daily.

See I used to be the career women, then one that had it all, home, work and kids. Little did I know, I really did not have it all. I was completely stressed out and a wreck.

Now I just yell at the girls for goofy things like a dish on the counter, vacuum twice a day and cut coupons. But you know, I don't think I would trade it for the world now. But don't tell DH that.
