What Do You Do When It Hurts to Think?

by

I think the beginning of the school year sickness will be an annual ritual in my household. First, my son goes back to school and picks up a germ and brings it home. Then my husband gets a little sick. Then I get full-blown sick. It literally hurts to think.

So, no real post for today. Instead I’ll make a little announcement because even though I am sick, I am still excited for next week. Why? Because I’m going to be having an awesome giveaway. A company gave me five of something to give away.

I’m probably going to spill the beans before then, because I am the worst when it comes to things like this. I love giving things away! Especially when the product can help you keep track of your finances.

Oops…just gave a clue…see what I mean? 🙂

Anyways, since the weekend is almost here, I want to devote a full work-week to the giveaway to give everyone a chance to read about it. Make sure you check back next week!

Dang Nabbit…Had to Turn Our Heat On

by

Let it be known that this year we were had to turn on our heat on September 12. We always try to hold out as long as we can before turning on our heat. It’s turned into a little game of “how long can we last.”

Last year, we turned on the heat on October 10th. We’ve been hit with some colder, wet weather so I had no choice today.

The big clue? Everyone got up this morning and then sat on the couch and grabbed a blanket. The thermometer gave a reading of 60 degrees. At that point, your nose gets cold and that’s not fun. I was really hoping the weather would get warmer or the sun would come out, but it doesn’t look like it. The National Weather Service is even saying snow is likely for Friday.

It’s a bit of a bummer to turn on our heat, but it’s no biggie. That means we’ll try something else, like trying to get our gas bill as low as we can this winter. My husband is on board with my craziness and we will be making some changes in our home. I’ll be discussing those later as they are implemented (which needs to be real soon).
