Grocery wars

A couple of days ago I went to the Grocery store. It was just an ordinary shopping trip. I just needed a few items and when I finally went to buy all of the food. It came out to about 70 dollars, not bad right!? Well, I slid my card through the machine and low and behold it says those dreadful words TRANSACTION NOT APPROVED. Of course I had money in the bank but what I failed to mention was that for whatever reason my card (that is not from this state) has been acting weird. I don't know my PIN number so I have just been using it as credit. I guess I "credit it out", I don't know, I have to call to see what has been going on with my card.

So back to the grocery store. I tell the lady that I have to come back and buy my groceries. I was not embarrassed, I was more upset with myself that I forgot about my dumb card. I call my husband and asked him what station he was at because my card was rejected. So I go to the station that my husband is at...then I realize Im at the wrong station. I really have to memorize those station numbers. So I finally get his card and return back to the grocery store, and finally walk out with my groceries. Next time I think I will just take cash. This has been the second time that I have to come back and buy my groceries.Not fun at all.

Oh no!!!! 1. Station numbers ARE hard - there is totally no rhyme or reason to them. & 2. I'm glad none of your groceries spoiled!!! Josh and I switched to the cash system to try to save money, and I love using cash. I feel like I spend less than I would if I were using my card.

Weekend Recap!

Image
During spring break: On Tuesday : this photo book came in the mail. I loved it! & so did Megan I think she likes seeing herself in pictures. I finished the vow in a day, It was ok. Im sure the movie is different. It was however very inspiring with having faith in god.   On Thursday: I took Megan to daycare but ended up not leaving her after because all they were going to do was play all day long and I really like for her to get some learning in there but if they were not gonna have lessons then I didnt see the point in leaving her. So she spent Thursday & Friday with Momma:) Bought this print for our bathroom. I love it! Yeah she kicked my butt at Peter Pipers Pizza! She really wanted to brush my hair Friday:  I said I would enjoy my pretty much last day of Spring Break so we hung out at home and colored and did other little things.  I love Sixlets!    Ya may have seen this Idea on Pinterest....

This Weekend I....

  This weekend was kind of uneventful and was a pretty low key. Jaime had to work a couple of those days, so Megan and I decided to spend the weekend at my mom and dads house. I went to class Saturday morning and found out I got a 90 on my Mid-term!! Woohoo! I worked really hard for that grade. I studies for 5 days straight and tested myself everyday to see what else I missed. So it was a really good morning so far. Afterwards I went to my moms because Megan had spent the night over.  We decided to go to the movies to watch Brave, Or as Megan calls it, "Red". She calls it "Red" because of her Red hair.I love that movie it's the cutest. We had seen it before but it was nice to see it again. Megan fell asleep the last 15 minutes of it. Megan LOVES the movie Hotel Transylvania and when we saw the cardboard characters at the movies Megan wanted to take a pictures with them. Megan has been asking for some new dolls almost every weekend. She's const...
