Laurie Update

Talked with Laurie yesterday and she spent an hour and a half in an MRI, the results will show how far it's spread. I'm sitting here kicking myself right now as I'm writing this, I forgot to fast yesterday!! Becky did you or anyone else? When should we do our fast for Wee, today or tomorrow? Anyways, they said the cancer they removed when she gave birth was about the size of cadburry egg. Wee, you are in my prayers today and I'll plan to fast tomorrow for you.

Today I got a good deal at Albertsons. When I first went up without my preferred savings my total was 139.00. After my preferred savings it was 70.00, I got it down to 16.89 with using my coupons. I got:
16 boxes of Capri Suns (which we've hidden from the kids, they would have them all drank by the end of the week, were saving them for soccer games, lunches etc.) I used 1.00 off coupons so saved 16.00
6 bottles of Kraft barbeque sauce these were free after my .75 coupon
2 Johnson and Johnson baby bubble bath and wash
3 Johnson and Johnson Cucumber and Melon baby wash
1 J and J shampoo ( I had 2.00 off coupons for all 5 of these)
2 bandaids (I had a 3.00 off 2 coupon)
3 Visine ac (I had 3 3.00 off coupons)
6 boxes of mac and cheese
2 jars of Ragu mexican cheese sauce (had free coupons for these)

I paid with a 10.00 on your next shopping order coupon, a $5/off 30.00 Albertsons coupon and the total was $16.89. But wait! Becky loves it when I say that. I got $15.00 back to use on my next shopping order! So really I got all of that for $1.89 after coupons!!!! Really cool huh?? I got 2.00 back from buying 6 boxes of mac and cheese (it's the magic number of boxes), 3.00 for buying 6 bottles fo kraft barbeque sauce, and 10.00 for the buying $30.00 before coupons of the visine, bandaids, and J and J stuff. I think I like this stuff so much because it's like a strategy game and man it takes alot of thinking and planning!

Love you my sisters!

Dang couponing can be confusing! I hate math! Oh Wee Wee I have had about 4 MRI's they are upsetting I felt so pathetic after they were over I hope you are doing better! I know they don't hurt but they are disturbing and uncomfortable and emotionally draining! I will have to fast tomorrow I forgot with Mickey signing the papers early! I love you girls and good job on the couponing!

Wow, Mindy you are soo good at that. It was draining. I forgot and I was wearing my rings when they did it. knowing my luck I will have to repeat it. They said no news is good news. The Dr. would call over the weekend if there was something to panic about. But I am not going to rely on that. I know everything will eventually be good. I am pretty sure I will have to have the hysterectomy at the minimum. I am afraid of that it sounds so very painful, but worth it if it gets rid of everything. I love you girls! Thank you for all of your love and concern. Your the best!

Laramie said she would do a hysterectomy on you if you were her patient. She said it's just a little reckless to leave the uterus in and where you are done having babies anyway, it just seems like the wise thing to do. I know you are going to be O.K. Wee, I love you so much! You are an angel and I'm so glad you are my sister! Love you!
