Does your home feel like a circus too? I know mine does. There are many changes I am hoping to do in 2009 that will make it even less of a zoo here. First, I am hoping to become more organized. Right now, we have paperwork from one end of the house to the other. Instead of just stacking it and then filing it when I am good and ready, my goal is to actually file it right away. Then I don’t have to worry about losing it. Next, I am hoping to save more. This will be interesting and hard. With Bill’s new car and possible school tutition for Madison, that may wipe us clean in a crappy economy. However, we’ve made it this far. I already cut coupons and if need be, we will start cutting the extras like cable and my daily newspaper. However, I am keeping my hopes and I think 2009 will be a great year!
What are your plans to make your life less of a circus in 2009?

Of all our modern conveniences that we have, what can’t you live without? In my house, it would have to be disposable diapers and cell phones. My son, aka the pooping machine, has so many dirty diapers a day that I would seriously go insane if I had to wash all those. Seriously, the kid poops a minimum of four times daily. My other convenience has to be cell phones. I remember a time when you only used your cell phone for an emergency because otherwise, it was sooooo expensive. However, in time, prices have come down, and people actually get rid of their landlines for these. I can’t imagine not being able to get ahold of my husband at the drop of hat like I can now. He is often driving from job site to job site, so without this convenience, I wouldn’t know where he was or if he got stuck in traffic on the way home. I couldn’t call him to pick up a gallon of needed milk either.
When Madison had to get stitches (this is when she was 2), it was a day that Bill forgot his cell phone at home. I can’t tell you what a pain it was to try and get ahold of him. I had her at an Urgent Care, and my mother in law called my father in law who called the office that Bill was at to let him know to come home. It is almost scary how much we rely on cell phones.
Speaking of convenience, you should check out the coupons here to get yourself some Yoplait yogurt. Can you imagine life without the convenience of plastic? I know, me neither! Thank you PBN for this great coupon!

I know, interesting title. But see, you have to know what the last week was like in my house. Last weekend we were gone to a wedding. All week, the earliest my hubby came home from work was 7 pm. Needless to say, the house was a wreck. On top of all that, I was changing hosting due to many issues with Bluehost (which I will blog about later!).
Hell froze over because well, the hubby actually got it into his head that we needed to clean the house. Not only that, he helped. We went from room to room and actually cleaned the majority of the house. He actually got on his hands and knees and cleaned the tub. He used an old toothbrush to clean the jets on the whirlpool. That’s what a good job he did. We rearranged the living room again too! After the kids went to bed last night, he also went grocery shopping and managed to spend less than $200 too! (However, some of his choices were not so good so I’ll be going back, but I am not complaining.)
It feels good to have a semiproductive weekend. This afternoon we will be going to one of his friend’s house for a little party, and I am not sure what we have in store for tomorrow.
