If you don't use it, Loose it!

Today is the day for more Spring cleaning at our house. Today, my goal was the garage and Colby's goal is the office. I can't believe how much CRAP we have accumulated over four years of marriage! We need a dumpster sitting outside our garage to load up everything I want to get rid of. If we don't use it, we decided to loose it!

Newspapers overwhelmed me this morning when I started to clean the garage. I am a coupon clipper. Yes, one of those. Since I get so many newspapers every week I decided to save them and recycle them about once a month. Trevin "helped" me load them into the back of the Tahoe and we took them to the recycling bin this morning. I guess I can say I did something good today right?

Another thing marked off my list this morning was the Glucose Tolerance Test every pregnant woman gets the treat of experiencing around 28 weeks. After getting directed a different outpatient lab, drinking the sugary drink, and getting poked twice, I am happy to say that adventure is over!

Since I haven't posted for a while about my savings with my coupons, I thought I should add I spent $43.95 and saved $33.36 last Tuesday at the store. The sales start again tomorrow and I plan to start doing more coupon clipping this year with my neighbor.

Also, we took back Trevin's new bed and bedding. I had a change of heart and realized I didn't like what we bought. Colby has also had a change of heart and wants to make Trevin's bed and dresser. I am so excited! Who knows when that will be completed but I can hope it will be done soon. It's nice to have a handy husband! I only wish I had the skills he does. I would be making frames and things everyday!

Anyway, sorry for the long post! Happy Tuesday!
