Hi! Welcome to my blog!

This is my first attempt at blogging.
Today I am off from work with my husband napping...
I just feel it is important to share our journey!

Lessons Learned While "Cutting" the Expenses..

Today is Thursday...

The decision to not have a weekly housekeeper was a partial success...
I found I had to clean the bathroom with supplies that I had never heard of..
I ruined the carpet steam cleaner while attempting to clean the carpet of "scoopable" cat litter..
SO... we concluded that we needed her at least every other weekend!

TJ Maxx cutback worked...(I drive another route home from work)

Attempting to cut back on the Fancy Feast cat food failed... all the cats refused to eat the cheaper brand, (but I will keep trying)

We are still working with the AOL people :(

Finally, the apartment is almost closed... all the personal items have been sold...

And, we made money with the yard sell!
Total savings monthly???  $$$$

Update:
Jim is happy to be driven to work for about 3 hours a day...
The rash on his face is not as bad...
and he is walking better! :)


Blessings...

My sister is here with us in Illinois..
My co-workers have filled in at work and have contributed many hours of their own vacation time..
Our church members are helping Jim walk 3X week with our poodle...
& many, many more!
Off to work....
