Awesome Rebate Score!

February 27th, 2019 at 04:39 pm



I bought a bunch of Better Homes & Gardens Sheet Sets a few weeks ago at Walmart. They were super good clearance prices, between $4.29 - $7.51 depending on the size. I found out there were rebates in the packs for $6.00 back! I bought 28 sheet sets, and only 9 had rebates, but that's $54.00 back that I wasn't expecting! That will make 9 of the smaller size sheet sets free/money makers! Whoo hoo!

$20K Update - Today is my Due Date :(

February 22nd, 2019 at 06:37 pm

Today is my due date. This week coming up to today has been so awful. Today I am doing my best to stay busy and not dwell on it. I just can't handle it overwhelming my whole day. It's too hard.

Some small good news, we took in our change bucket and had $305.00 so I put that into savings.

Our tax return was finally accepted so hopefully we will have our return before our vaca in mid March.

Also our mortgage payment went down $40 per month, so since we are used to paying that amount every month I have set up an auto deposit to have the $40 transferred to savings each month instead.

Debt Update - 2/15/19 - Another tough month life wise

February 17th, 2019 at 09:48 pm

$1071.51 paid off in the last 2 weeks!!!

Today was Day 77 of P90X!! Tomorrow will be one month until our next trip to Laughlin, and 3 of our favorite casino friends are coming too! I would really like to lose 9 more lbs and then I will have lost 10% of my weight since giving birth. MO and I had a little side bet that if either of us loses 10% (this was over a course of 3 1/2 months) that we get extra bonus money for the trip. NINE MORE LBS.....its gonna be tough but I am trying my hardest. I worked out twice yesterday and twice today (may do another one tonight just cause it's something to do to keep my mind off of things). I know my real struggle is the eating part, specifically my terrible Coke addiction. I am only have 1 a day, but am going to try 0 tomorrow. Would be awesome if I could do no pop or alcohol till the trip, but I love my Coke!


February has been another tough month as the twins were "due" 2/22/19. The best man at our wedding had his 3rd child a few days ago and when we had found out that both wives were pregnant and due dates were so close we were so excited for our kids to grow up together and be best buddies. I feel terrible that I had to unfollow both of them on FB because I can't handle seeing all the new baby pics. I broke down yesterday while I was on the treadmill and couldn't stop crying, one of my poor puppy girls tried to climb on and comfort me and ate it hard. So I sat down and she attacked me with kisses. So thankful for my husband and my puppers.

MO and I had a nice weekend in Deadwood last weekend. I had lots of good hits and bonuses and lots of drinks. It was great to get away and enjoy each other with out all the normal distractions. I ended up $100 ahead but MO lost (it's usually the other way around), but overall a cheap getaway.

Celebrations for this update:
-$1071.51 paid off in the last 2 weeks!!
-Rental #2 went under the next $1000 mark!!

$20K Update - Trouble with taxes :(

February 15th, 2019 at 08:39 pm

We normally have our tax return back by now, but we haven't even been able to file yet. We never received birth or death certificates in the mail for the twins. MO spent hours on the phone and at the SS office trying to get their info. He finally got the SSN for our daughter and then Turbo Tax rejected our return since they don't recognize her SSN since it's so new. UGH! So we are still trying to figure out how to file. Super frustrated especially when we have to keep explaining how we lost both of our children. Frown

Using up some of the Gift Card Inventory

February 1st, 2019 at 09:54 pm

I had apts and errands all day yesterday, so I was able to use up some of our large gift card inventory. I used a total of $335.00 yesterday. MO and I each took a $25 Visa Gift Card for our wallets as well so that they get used up, as those ones are expiring in June, so I don't want to forget about them.

$10.00 Starbucks for breakfast (Christmas Present)
$15.00 Anheuser Busch Rebate Card - Used at CVS for resell items
$60.00 Massage (Christmas Present)
$250.00 Visa Gift Cards (Earned in a casino promotion) - Used for the deductible on the truck after hitting the deer

I also tried to use a $25 Gift Card for Famous Dave's for dinner, but the manager was having issues with the till and couldn't get the card to go through, so he told me the food was on the house and told me to keep the gift card for next time! So I also got 2 free meals out of the deal!
