I figure I will play on the computer until it is time to pick up Tommy.  I can’t wait to go get him and see how his first day of school went.   I am a bit weepy….my last baby is growing up so quickly!!   I have enjoyed the stage of my life raising children, it is something I am pretty good at and enjoy.   But to look forward to a stage where I am not changing diapers or caring for my children??   Hmmm….I’m not there, but my hubby is.   I still long for one more baby….a little girl maybe?  But reality of it is ….I have been raising children for over 16 years.   I have another 16 more years to go until Tommy is out of school.  So that means that 32 years of my life will be raising children.   Hard to believe…

Since I am so impatiently waiting to go get Tommy….I thought I would respond to a comment or two.

HAPPY – Hi …thanks for subscribing to my site.  As far as OAMC goes, it saves time and money.  You save more money the better you get the shooping and planning.  On Beth’s OAMC site she talks about her experience and her cost savings.    I haven’t really kept track of the amount I spend.  When we cooked at church with my girlfriends, we ended up spending about 4.00 an entree I think.   The best way I find to save money is to more batch cook.  I look for a good price on hamburger and then buy enough to make all my favorite hamburger recipes.  I do the same with chicken, ham and turkey.  Around Easter and Christmas you can get such good prices on ham and turkey so I  buy a couple and make meals with it.   I know it is less expensive, I just am not so sure how much.  Over the summer I was doing the Menu Mailer, which is great during the summer for us.  But I was spending more on groceries than I usually budget.   But we were eating more fresh produce, etc.   so I think it balanced in the end.  

RANGERWIFE2000 – OAMC might be something to make your life easier!

MISTEY – I rarely buy any more cookbooks.  The internet is a wealth of information on anything you want to learn to do.   I do still get my Quick Cooking and Taste of Home, but I love to lay and bed and browse through them!!
