Yesterday, I posted a few basic goals.
I was able to
- Collate and clip last Saturday's coupons
- Begin a list of deals for this week
- Get school done (with the exception of history....somehow our book has gone missing. Accident or nefarious forces at work?)
- Get laundry done
I didn't get ready for CVS and Walgreen's run or get bread baked. Too much was going on. Fortunately, there's always today.

Today's Goals
Today's coupon goals include:
- Getting ready for a CVS and Walgreens run tonight.
- Collating last Saturday's coupons
- Begin list of deals for this week's grocery run
Today's general goals include:
- Get school done
- Get bread baked
- Get laundry (all four + loads of it) done.
It's interesting that all four kids were up this morning by 6:10. Is it just a coincidence that I'm a little cranky myself? I think not.

Changes Coming
I'm going to be making some changes to the blog. First and foremost, I'm going to try to post more often, both about our family and about deals at St. Louis area stores.
Personal news as of late, we had a visitor the week of Thanksgiving. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together. We are moving on to a new realtor, lowering the price on our house, and praying that this new realtor can move our house.
I have continued to attempt adding slightly to our stockpile. If you've never read the book The Bankruptcy of our Nation by Jerry Robinson, it's a Must Quickly Read. I'm by no means a doom and person, but that book lays out and explains what is unfolding around us right now with our fiat and bankrupt monitary system.
We're preparing for Christmas here quickly. Christmas will be lean but I believe wonderful! We have our tree up and it looks beautiful through our door. Steve has gotten the holes patched in our walls, now if I can just get him to paint them before the realtor comes Tuesday! The kids and I have been working in the yard. While it's by no means done, it's most certainly better. Steve's finishing off his last set of questions for New Mexico while still prepping for weekly sermons.
The kids are still going well on their homeschooling. We've added piano, spelling, and science to our math, grammar, reading, Bible, and history. The only thing I have yet to add is Latin. We think we're going to wait until next year and we're going to invest in Rosetta Stone to assist.
Well, I have the kids by myself tonight while Steve finishes off his questions. I have two little kids to bathe. I hope everyone reading has a good Saturday and especially our Lord's day as well.

12/6 Shop and Save Weekend Preview
This week is again a coupon Thursday. Also be aware that the two Ferguson Shop and Saves are honoring the Aldi's $5 off $25 coupon, but when I visited, you couldn't combine that with the coupon Thursday $10 off at the N Florissant Shop and Save, but could at the New Halls Ferry one.
Something else to note, at both Ferguson Shop and Saves (Possibly all) they changed their $10 off $50 now so that it's automated. When they say no alcohol or milk, the computer doesn't forget like the clerk sometimes may.
Notable deals include Farmland Spiral Ham $1.47/lb. There was a $1 off coupon in a recent insert. Kellogg's Cereals are $1.98. Navel Oranges are $1.98 for a 4# bag. Shop and Save waffles are $1. I think the most notable deal was Progresso Soups for $1 each!

This coming week at Shop and Save, there is a Coupon Thursday. As usual, they will be giving you $10 off a purchase of $50 or more with some exclusions most notably is milk.

Busy as a Bee
Life has been busy as of late. Too busy. Tomorrow Steve is giving me a day away. I'm taking it and running for the hills. Well, maybe not for the hills, but running for some quiet. I'm hoping to get caught up on my coupons and then maybe do some crocheting or knitting, as I haven't touched either for a long time.
------------
We've been fighting - and I finally believe winning - an infestation of fleas. We have a cat, but she's an indoor cat. We spoke to the vet about it. The nurse said that probably one of us brought a couple in on our clothes and petted the cat where they jumped and started multiplying.
Milly has been treated with medicine from Wal-mart, a prescription medicine from the vet, and is due for another dose in a couple of days. I have washed all the bedding (including pillows) multiple times, we've bombed which didn't work, we bought a new vacuum. We've sprayed, we've washed some more. We're clearing things out and cleaning as much as is possible. I've done around four loads of laundry every day trying to keep up with this. I think we're finally winning the war.
I'm just wishing I could have found a more family friendly way of treating them(instead of having to evacuate the house for hours on end). I'm hoping that it all comes to a close fast.
