Another Day in the Life

I went to see my acupuncturist last night. She is actually a Dr of Chinese Medicine and acupuncture is a part of her treatment. I never thought that sticking a needle in your skin could help but it does seem to be helping me. I slept the best last night that I had in a while. I was so relaxed while she was doing it I almost went to sleep.. She also does Sacro Cranial ? and that helps as well.
After I got out of her office, since DH had the kids, I went to the grocery store. I was able to concentrate and was able to get out of there without forgetting anything. I also found some good markdowns. Cubesteak to make chicken fried steak. Enough for all of us for under $4. I also found the french break from Pillsbury marked down to $1.54. It is usually $2.59. It is great straight out of the oven with butter. I told DH that I was going to start going to the store after he got home so he could watch the kids. The Cheapest Family in America says you should always shop without your kids so I am going to try it. I know I was able to save over $20 in coupons because I could concentrate on what I was doing.
I started the kids in Tae Kwan Do last week. Where we used to live they were in Karate. Tae is simply the Korean version of Karate which is Japanese. This class isn't as organized at the other but it will do for right now. They have also started taking ice skating lessons Tues so we went to a homeschool skate time Wed and they had a great time. My DS has slept very well the past two nights. They also seem to be calmer in the evenings. I guess making them run laps would have the same result but wouldn't be as fun.
The bed that I sleep in is full size but not extremely comfortable so we went to Target and got one of those down mattress covers. It has made a big difference the only thing is now my sheets pop off of the corners making me crazy. So, I went to our local thrift store. I don't usually find anything there because it is shopped pretty hard but this time I was able to find a queen size sheet set w/pillowcase for $5 and it wraps around the mattress so much better. It was marked $10 but was half price. I also found a few books in great shape. Encyclopedia Brown for .25¢ and an Animorph for .25¢. They had Berenstain Bears book for $1 which is kind of high for a thrift so we left those. I was happy about the sheets because pillowcases can run $7 all by themselves. It is a nice pattern blue and white pansies. We have already washed it up and put is on the bed.
More tomorrow
