2 Weeks Down…
So, Ben’s been gone for 2 weeks today. We miss him lots, but we’ve gotten into the swing of things again.
Mom kept the boys Friday night, giving me my first night alone since Ben left. I was finally able to get my crying out and I feel much more peace now. I was also able to go to the grocery store for a full cart of groceries for the first time since Ben left. I was so happy to have walked out of the grocery store with a savings of $87! We don’t get savings like that when Ben does the shopping
. He just goes off the list I give him. When I go, I scout out the sales and buy multiples if the sale is really good. Speaking of scouting out sales. I signed up for The Grocery Game this week. I figure that for $5/mo, if it saves me money, it’s worth it. I’ll let you know how it works out for me.
I also heard about a wonderful new product designed for busy moms. It’s a scripture memory aid, developed by a homeschooling mom, and designed to be used in the bath or shower. It consists of waterproof cards mounted on suction cups, so you can read and meditate on scriptures while you’re bathing. It’s called Soaking in the Word. When my sets arrive, I’ll update you on how well I do with them!
I have to get going, but I’ll try to make it back to update again this week. God bless all of you!
From my home to yours,
