This past week I have been following The Bert Show as they took 13 chronic or terminally ill children to Disney World and I realized I need to do more with my life. (If you have not heard of BBA please go to this link and check it out http://www.bertsbigadventure.org/) I have ALWAYS wanted to be a nurse so I can help people. Please don't take offense to this next statement-but I feel like I want to do more than a nurse does. I know nurses are amazing people, but I want to do more than bathe patients, administer meds and clean up puke. I want to help people to be happy, it sounds so weird but it's true. I read all these stories of these BBA (Bert's Big Adventure) children and how happy this trip made the children AND their families. One week in Disney totally made their lives! For them to see their children so happy and not having to worry about doctor appointments and hospital visits and just getting to be a child. HOW AWESOME! I haven't really figured out what I want to do... but I know it's not what I'm doing now. I want something rewarding to my soul!
I have also decided I am going to start being a crazy coupon lady and I am Excited!!! I set up a separate email account so I can sign up for offers and not have 100 spam emails in my regular email account daily. I am also taking suggestions on this coupon craze, because I am very new at it. I have to get the sunday paper to get the coupons and of course I decide I want to be a coupon clipper on TUESDAY when we are in need for groceries. :p So I will have to start the coupon clipping next week I guess, which is okay maybe I can figure it all out before I have to actual start it.
I also have decided I'm going to start being more crafty. I am inspired by a friend who is so talented with refurbishing items she finds at goodwill. She fixed a mirror, cookie jar, pitcher.. all of which are just adorable!! I LOVE making things and saving money!! I think I need to begin this hobby!! :)
I'm going to take my crazy pup outside for a walk in this beautiful weather! I hope yall have a wonderful day!
Lura, start by going to www.southernsavers.com for coupon info. She posts the sale papers for kroger, publix, target, and many pharmacies each week, and provides links to some online coupons or tells you what sale circulars some coupons were in. It really helps cut down on the time spent searching the net for deals. The website also has a nice feature that lets you create shopping lists for each store. I've become more serious about shopping the sales and using coupons over the past month and I've already saved about $200. In my trip to Publix and Kroger this past weekend alone I saved $90!!!
