Waiting game

July 27th, 2009 at 01:41 am

GD went to the doctor on Friday, but it will be at least a couple more weeks before we learn something definate. In the meantime, we are hoping and praying that her knee is just injured and will heal- making this just an unnerving waiting game.

This weekend was not a frugal one. I have been getting things for the new house and BOY, it adds up quickly. Also, I went so long without replacing furniture that I am opting to buy some new things for the new house. I think it will be really nice when I am done...but all this spending is making my head spin.

Yesterday, I had a stroke of luck...Our local radio show had an auction going...and I scored bigtime when I bought $600 in gift certificates for $330 that I was planning on buying some of our furniture from. That was an instant savings of almost 50%! Used the certificates today and they worked perfectly.

The wood floors are almost installed and the carpet in the bedrooms will be installed on Tuesday. Electrical work was done yesterday and the drywall/painint will be finished this week. So...the big project left is the kitchen.

I got to meet Bill Engvall last night...even got a pic with him!!! The show was very funny...and free!!

Today I spent with my mom and girls...and bought the dining set and couch/loveseat.

Tonight I am relaxing and getting ready for the week ahead.

All in all, an expensive, but good weekend.

    Here's hoping that her knee clears up with no ill effects. This is when health insurance makes a big difference, that's for sure. It leads to a lot of stress for young parents, but great that they have a support network...
