What a long month

What a long month!!!!! I can't beleive it has been over a month since I have posted. I have been so busy. My DH came home on the 31st of Aug. and we spent some time together to only find out that he probably will have to leave for Hurricane Releif. Fortunately they have not sent him yet but the possibility is still there. He is still slated to leave around the first of November for Iraq but there is rumor that he will be going to Africa instead. I sure hope that rumor is true. I don't have any pictures today but I will at least update you on what has been going on. I have been crocheting for the store like crazy. The hats and the ponchos are a big hit. I am still working on a boob holder for my niece. I am making it with long sleeves and not sure how to go about doing the sleeves but so far so good. I went grocery shopping on Thursday and was so proud of myself. I bought 195.00 worth of items for 50.00. That was so cool. I got 10 boxes of toaster strudel for .50 a box. Gotta love double coupons at Harris Teeter. I do so much better with the sales at the store and coupons that I save more shopping in town than at the commissary. I never thought that was possible. Thank goodness I found http://www.thegrocerygame.com. You have to check it out. DH put up a clothesline in the backyard for me finally. It only took 3 yrs to do it. Well we survived Hurricane Ophelia. Lets hope that is the only storm we have this year. We were far enought inland to not be affected. We just had lots of rain and some wind. Well I am off to put the kids in bed. DH is in Virgina today for work and will hopefully be home sometime late tonight. Hopefully I will have some knitting pics for you soon.
