9:20AM

Kept Christopher home from school today.
He doesn't have a fever but has allot
of nose drainage and some congestion.
He's not slept well last night
and hey neither did I constantly getting
up and checking on him.

Got my paperwork filled out that the neighbor
requested to have the bus stop possibly moved.
Another neighbor also turned his in.
So we just sit back and wait and see at the moment.
That would be so great to have the bus stop
right out our front door. No need to warm the truck
up in the Winter, scrape windows, brush off snow,
shovel snow, drive to bus stop and figure out where to park after the plow has gone down the street making no parking available on the street.
Just open up the front door and get them on the bus.
Would save on gas also!

Tonight's supper- Hamburgers.
That to us is a luxury items since we don't
have it very often due to price.
Found a package of 8 hamburgers
for $4.81 at Krogers.

4 Hamburgers $2.40
bread & cheese slices .50 cents
still deciding up a side dish

Also found a large pack of 8 pork chops
for $5.89
We had 4 of them last night for supper.
4 chops $2.92
Chex cereal & seasoning put in food processor
for breading- free
Homemade mashed potatoes $1.00
Can of cream of chicken soup (used for gravy) .50 cents

TOTAL COST $4.42
serves 5 @ .88 cents a serving
(divided a large pork chop between 2 kids)

I'm still in slow motion.
Toe still hurts. Mom thinks I might have broke it
considering it still is hurting a week and 4 days later.
I haven't been to the doctor. I mean really, what would they do for a broken toe. I'm sure I broke another toe one time when falling off the porch steps. I think the popping sound gave that one away with the extreme pain. But I never went to the doctor and are still walking fine.
Tired and some body aches still.
I try to be up moving around when I can.
I feel like if I lay in bed too long it makes it worse.
Tony wants to browse a few car lots
tonight then we need to stop in Krogers
for some Puffs Plus tissues with lotion.
I splurge to get those instead of regular tissues.
Christopher is complaining his nose is hurting
from wiping with toilet paper.
Since I have so many of the free Nivea
Lip care products I opened up one of the
milk and honey ones and designated it
for him to put on his upper lip and nose
area. I mean chap sticks helped chapped lips
so why wouldn't this help to moisturize
nose soreness from wiping.
I'd try vaseline but don't think
he would like that on his upper lip.
I know I probably wouldn't.
Been giving the kids their multi vitamins
and I have been taking vitamin D
along with Ester C tablets.
Also got the vaporizer running with
a splash of apple cider vinegar in it.
I just want my energy back!

Been looking at vehicles on Craigslist.
Really want an Explorer but am open
to looking at other 4x4 suv's.
I think tomorrow I am going to make
arrangements to see this suv
at a dealership. It's a 2001 Hyundai Sante Fe GLS 4x4.
It rates a 4.5 out of a 5 on Kelly Blue Book
and has lots of excellent reviews.
I always check reviews when it comes
to purchasing a vehicle. Especially
one I want to last many years.
This dealership also takes trade ins which
is a plus for us considering we want to possibly
trade in the 2001 Tracker if we can, along
with the money made off the Explorer we sold.

Oh well, let the fun begin once again
with shopping for a vehicle.
I have learned not to get any hopes up.
I just want something dependable,
an suv, 4 door and 4x4.
No cars or mini vans.
