Tiresome Thursday

I am tired!!!!! We left home at 8:30 this morning and really didn't get home until 7:53 for the girls and I. DH has to work until 10:30 or so at Toadhouse. Jon is closing tonight at PJ's. We dropped Steph off at school and ran to PSD and got DH a new Id. He lost his at the gym the other day.  So it's now replaced. Took about 10 min once we found where they moved to yet again. The offices on the base move like every other month I swear!!! The idea is to keep us guessing where we are going I guess. Then we had a counseling appt. that I desperately needed. I needed to talk about this horrible week!!! And de-stress!!! We wound up taking up almost 2 hours!!!! I told ya this week has been ubber stressful!!!! After that we went and looked at another crappy RV so we passed on it. The lady thinks she has a gold mine when its a piece of junk.

After that we went to lunch at ... you guessed it Toadhouse. You can't beat the lunch special!!! 2 slices of fresh handmade when you order pizza and a salad for $4.95!!! And a huge glass of water!!! YUM!!!! After that we ran to Costco and picked up some Baby Bell cheese for Steph. She is really freaked about THE PROCEDURE so we are trying to be extra nice to her. We got home about 2:15 and DH had to be at work at 3. We talked to Jon and his friend then DH headed off to his first day on his NEW JOB!!!! He may not make more hourly because he won't get tips anymore but he has way more opportunity to move to other spots like server where he will get tips. Also he has a chance to get like 3 times as many hours a week so it probably will wind up being a better thing. Anyways... Meega got home and asked me if we could go to Wal-mart for a pair of sneakers for her for cheerleading tryouts next week.  So we ran to Stephie's school and picker her up. Jon then ran us to Toadhouse and we "stole" my car back. Now it turned out this was a major wise choice on my part. I am the Queen of cheap. I can stretch a buck!! We found sneakies for her for $10. We stopped for a minute and looked at the clearance racks and the girls SCORED!!! I am not kidding!!! $16 jeans marked between $1-3. That's right!! ONE DOLLAR!!!! and THREE DOLLARS!!!! So we got 3 pairs in Meegas current size and 6 in the next size up. They didn't have any in Stephie's size but she still scored. She got 5 new shirts for $3!!!! She also got 4 new pairs of socks for $5. These are the really wild stripey knee highs my wierd kids love. I got 2 new Bra's off clearance down to $5 each from $19. So we walked out with 5 bags of clothing and stuff  for like $60!!! I am so happy!! I saved some serious dough!! And the kids got some seriously needed new clothes!!! I figured out we saved almost  $200!!!! It was a sale I couldn't pass up!!! I am very prudent in my sales. I watch them very close and very rarely do I pay full price for anything.  Like right now Target has Swim suits on sale for 50% off because they are last years leftovers. But when I was looking at them I saw some very similar to what was on clearance so they aren't hideous. But I was only there window shopping. I hate Target. They are so over priced compared to most other places around here in my opinion.  But like I said ( from people I know) I am Queen of cheap. It's the only way my budget allows us to buy anything new. I do do hand me downs  but I can't bring my self to buy from like goodwill. Besides I can find better prices at the clearance racks.
