The Neighbors will miss us!

It was a fairly nice weekend for Mother's Day, had some of the typical Washington rain but the sun came out and we can finally go outside without a jacket in the daytime. On Friday, Kevan got off work early to take me to get a cast put on after a week of whobbling around the house in a splint. We borrowed my folks 84' Corvett so they could have the extra seating since they watched the boys for the whole week.  As I went outside to go get in the car to leave for my appointment I opened the door with the alarm still activated.  YAY! FOR CAR ALARMS! We could not figure out how to get the thing to turn off. Our next door neighbors came out to see if everything was alright, and still after 10 minutes could not get it to shut off. Other people in the neighborhood were checking their cars to see if their alarms were going off. Oh it was embarassing. Finally my Dad called and gave some tips and after about 20 minutes of our ears ringing it stopped and we ended up being 10 minutes late for my appointment.
Mother's Day was pretty uneventful in our house, since it falls in between paydays I usually don't expect much if anything.  We mostly are trying to save money for the move and I don't mind.  Someday Elijah will be able to make me a card, and JoJo will be able to say Happy Mother's Day to me :)
Hopefully with the extra recruiter pay we will be a little more money stable.  Its funny we got so close to having no food in the house, or money in the bank and God always provides. We had a package on the porch today which was a whole box of food that I got for 15 dollars on groupon.com a month ago! It should help get us to Thursday, plus its that time of year again...CASE SALE TIME!!!! Fort Lewis Case Sales are the best!!!! We got fabric softner 2 years ago and just got to our last pack, thats a HUGE savings. Hopefully Deca will post the list online so I can start to do my coupon match ups for it.
