Recession

I'm afraid we must be the only nation that can spend 17 billion dollars on Valentine's crap while still crying about a recession.

Thank goodness the government is sending out checks for everyone to spend and fast. I will be paying off braces with mine. Does that count?

Still cleaning

I have been sorting and donating items we don't use for at least 3 months now. It is so nice to get rid of stuff and free up space. It is so nice not to replace old stuff with new stuff that will become old stuff.

I just wish there wasn't so much stuff in my house! It almost makes me cry to think of how much money has been spent on clutter.

I went to Wal Mart two nights ago and ONLY bought the supplies for Tyler's science project. It may just be the only time I've walked out of Wal Mart for under $20.
