Coupons

I've taken a new approach to grocery shopping the last few weeks, I started "couponing", and if I keep going at the rate I'm going I'll keep on "couponing".

The first go round went horribly wrong, but after talking with my friend Marty, she showed me some of the ropes. My second trip went well, saving $111 (spending$130), and this last trip had me jumping up and down with joy (literally). I spent $10 less this week and saved more then I was spending. This coupon business has become my second job, next to domestic engineering, I love them both. All-in-All I'm looking forward to the savings sales, and coupons will bring me.

More then a check list

I can't help but feel nervous right now. On Sunday the 17.2010 I will be baptized as a believer in Christ.

I think the reason for feeling so nervous is because this is not something you just do to check off you list, baptism is a life changing event, like getting married , or having a baby, this has been a heavy thought on my mind. Wow, I'll have to post more later on this, right now I need to go meditate and pray.

Ranting

I Think getting 8-10 hours of sleep is silly, and over rated. We Americans have become too accustomed, and spoiled with luxuries. I could go on for 8-10 hours about how spoiled we are.

Suffering my Loss

I crave others to be around me. I crave a distraction, so that I don't have to think about the loss of another baby. I think I need to cry some more, I need a crutch to hold me, no, more like someone to carry me. I always want to heal very quickly and move on. It's only been a couple of weeks since I lost another baby, and I was assuming I was fine, I was only kidding myself. I've been distracting myself. I've lost 3 babies. I'm afraid to get pregnant again because I don't want to suffer this loss anymore. I do want more babies, but I assume I wont be able to carry them anymore.
