Good morning everyone,
The goals for March are officially out the window. My DH and I talked about it on Friday evening and he said that he thought they were too much with all that we have going on this month. I'm not sure if I will come up with new goals or not. I will keep exercising and looking for deals though.

Whew! That was a lot of shopping and a lot of work. We had to go to a couple of different CVS stores for the cologne and perfume deals. (They were gift sets leftover from Christmas.) It was worth it though because we have gifts for several family members for Christmas and I found DH's birthday gift as well.
(By the way, in case anyone wants to know, I use the forums at hotcouponworld.com to help find coupons and savings.)
Today's Plan:
* Take a walk with the girls: 60 & sunny this morning
rain & Winter Storm Watch this evening
* Homeschooling
* Bills
* Finish Laundry
* Research for DH
* Return Library Books
My SIL is back in the hospital and should be induced today. Of course with the way things have gone, that may change again. Good thoughts and prayers are much appreciated!
I would also like to ask for prayers for my BIL. He is having a tough time right now and is struggling with a lot of different things. (Not the BIL whose wife is having a baby today.) Thanks!
That's about all from here. Have a great Monday everyone!
As you can see, I'm DISing instead of making the list so that's why I need the list......
We've had about a foot of snow in the past two days.....I am exhausted. 
They have been telling her for the past month that they would induce because the baby was large and not in the proper position. She has been going to the doctor 2-3 times a week expecting each time to be told that they will do a C-section the next day. The past week, she has been in the hospital twice and then sent home. I don't understand any of this. I know that my SIL is frustrated and miserable right now. Please continue your good thoughts and prayers.
