All the little things.....

Here we are at the begining of Ferbruary it has been soooo cold here the last weeek or so, all three of us are ready for warmer weather. Poor Abby has been stuck inside all day, and for a girl who love going outside to play at least once or twice daily it has been tough. She loves to bring us her coat and shoes expecting to go out, then gets so upset when we tell her it is too cold to go out!

Lately I have had to remind myself that the little things in life are the most important. I have been feeling alot of stress over everyday things, like am I being a good employee, am I being a good enough mother, wife, sister, daughter etc......
The stress of paying bills, and paying off school loans, and credit card bills has been particularly stressful. I mean we don't make alot of money but we do live a comfortable life and have everything we need.

Jeff has been amazing, staying home during the week while I work, going to school every night and working weekends. I couldn't ask for a better husband or father for my children.

We have all finally gotten over whatever cold has been going around, thankfully Abby never had much more than a runny/ stuffy noseand a little cough, which was more dramatized than real of course. She is definelty a girl, all drama all the time!

Back to reminding myself that the little things are the most important, I love coming home after a long day at work. As soon as Abby hears my keys go into the door she starts squeling and yelling mamamama ! It makes me smile every time!

I have developed a hobby of sorts, couponing! I want to get as good at it as those ladies who post pictures of what should have cost over $100 , and they paid $30 for it. I am getting really excited to have the grocery store clerk say you saved .....$. Whatever amount it ends up being. I need to figure out a better way to organize the coupons that I am acumulating, right now I am trying a couple small purse size photo albums which are O.K. but I would like to find something a little more organized, but is still small. Any tips are appreciated. Speaking of coupons I need to finish organizing the ones I have complied this week !
