Gotta Love rare diseases.

While I'm loving the cooler weather (and so are my hormones) my muscles are not. I'm not sure how much I will be able to get posted this week so bear with me!  Hopefully I'll be back in full force quickly!

Update on my health

I had planned on getting back into the "yellow coupon" thing at HEB today by going through the store and picking up all the yellow coupons.  10 minutes into the store my body decided that I was NOT going to do that and I had to leave. I always carry my potassium with me so when I got to the car I took some and waited for the attack to end so I could make it home.

I'm not sure whether or not I will be able to get back to it. As you have noticed I am not 100% back with being able to post all the deals I used to.

Right now I'm evaluating things and trying to figure out what I can physically do, if anything, with keeping the blog going.

I'd appreciate your prayers please!

Hi everyone!

Just a quick check in.  I hope you all are enjoying a beautiful Memorial Day (at least it's a beautiful day here)!  My surgery went well and I am on the mend.  I was hoping to be back this week but I don't think I'll be able to yet.

I tried yesterday spending more time on the computer and the result was an increase in my pain to the point that I didn't sleep well last night.  It's just an awful position for my shoulder.  So I'm not planning on being back this week as far as match ups go but I might try to post some coupons if I get online much and hopefully I'll be recovered to the point I can tolerate the position longer next week!

Can you believe it's almost June already?  I swear the clock is ticking faster and faster!  Have a great Memorial Day and be sure to stop a moment and thank those who fought and are still fighting for our freedom!

Quick Update on me....

Just want to give a quick update on my health.  I'm scheduled to have surgery on my left shoulder in 2 weeks (it's been a very long wait).  I have no idea how long it will be before I can type with both hands again so I thank you for your patience and for sticking with me!

Life happens....

I apologize for being so quiet over the past few days.  I have not been feeling well plus I wanted to spend some time with my daughter who came into town to do a photo shoot. This coming week I have several doctor's appointments and an appointment for a MRI on my left shoulder so I may not be posting much over this next week.  I hope you all will forgive me and will still be around when I get back!

I will be posting about a great give-away that I am participating in so hopefully that will keep you interested while I am away! Watch for the giveaway post shortly.  It starts tomorrow! I just checked my email and the give-away will now start on 4/4 due to some IT outages.

Why I've been MIA!

You may have noticed I haven't posted since Thursday.  I left Friday morning for Louisiana to spend the weekend with my 2 daughters.  We had a wonderful time!  My oldest is in the Army and will be PCSing to Ft. Sill in July.

Brytnee Anne Photography

My youngest daughter is a photographer (a great photographer if you ask me) and we spent Saturday at Hodges Gardens State Park where she took some beautiful pictures of the flowers and also got some pretty amazing shots of her sister and me!  She actually made me look good!

I'd love it if you would check out her blog at Brytnee Anne Photography and show her some love as well! She should have the pictures from this weekend up in a day or two.

So while I'm sorry I didn't get to post any deals and I missed some of my weekly posts such as the Diaper Deals I don't regret one minute of the time I spent with my amazing daughters! I'll get back on track this week bringing you great coupons and deals as I find them!

Have a wonderful week!

An Update

Hello everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Just wanted to give an update.  I am hoping to be back at things by next week.  I am still struggling but have improved some and am exploring some medication changes that I'll discuss with my doctor.

I really miss finding all the deals!  I've had serious withdrawals!  Anyway, say a prayer that by next week I"ll at least be well enough to get back to my blog!

Have a great week!

Still Struggling

Hey guys, I am still not well so I have no idea when I will be able to be back at my blog.  It seems every day I'm getting weaker instead of stronger.  I'd appreciate your prayers.

Sorry MIA

Hey guys, sorry I've been MIA.  I'm having to take things on a daily basis right now and just rest as much as I can.  I'm trying to decide what to do about my blog.  I enjoy helping you save money and I know that most of the smaller grocery store match ups I do no one else does (at least I can't find any other blog that does match ups for those).

Unfortunately with Andersen Tawil Syndrome I cannot always meet my self imposed deadlines. I posted last week about looking for at least one person who might  be willing to help me out but I've not had any takers.  Can't say that I blame you, no one likes working for free.

Stay tuned for any updates.  I'd also LOVE any suggestions you may have!

Thanks!

Looking for help!

Do you like to save money?
Do you hate paying full price for anything?
Do you clip coupons?
Do you get excited when you find a good deal?
Do you spend a lot of time online?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then I have a deal for you!

I am continuing to struggle with my health and it is becoming harder and harder for me to keep up with the deals at the moment.  I'd really love for someone to join me and help me post deals.  I can teach you how I do match ups and where I find coupons.  You'll have access to post to the blog.

Ok, so here's the kicker!  There is no compensation.  I don't make any money from my blog.  Yes I have affiliate links but they don't get clicked enough for me to make anything so you would be doing it for the pure joy of helping others save a little money each week.

If this is you or someone you know (I'll even take more that one!) just email me here and let me know you are interested!

Taking a short break........

If you have been following my blog for a while or if you know me personally then you know I am one of the few lucky people in the world who has been blessed with a rare disease called Andersen Tawil Syndrome. I have been struggling for several weeks and an incidence last week has really put me back a long way!

I am spending more time in bed than out right now so I'm going to take a couple of weeks off from the blog to concentrate on getting back on my feet (literally).

If you'd like more information on Andersen Tawil Syndrome or any of the other periodic paralysis just follow this link.

See you in a couple of weeks!

I'm going out of town.....

I am not going to be around the next 3 days to post the grocery store deals.  I will be on the road traveling for personal business Wednesday and Thursday.  Friday I'll be headed to Louisiana to spend the weekend with kids.

I'll be back in action next week!  Have a wonderful holiday weekend everyone!

Still under the weather......

I apologize for not having any match ups done at this point.  I am still not feeling well as my disease has really sidetracked me for the past several days.  In light of that and knowing how things usually go with it, I need to take several days off to get some rest and not stress over getting this done!

I don't want to leave you all totally without help.  Below are the links to the A Full Cup specific store forums.  You won't find full match ups like I usually do but you will find the best deals listed!  Everyone at A Full Cup is very nice and helpful so don't be afraid to join in the conversations.  Hopefully I'll be back for the store match ups later this week but right now I can't make any promises.  I am the forum leader at A Full Cup for HEB so I will definitely try to get that one done if nothing else!  Please share with everyone what deals you find by leaving comments here and/or on Momma's Moolah Facebook page!

Walgreens

CVS

Target

Kmart


If you are interested in learning more about the disease I have been blessed with, it's called Andersen-Tawil Syndrome and is extremely rare.  Thanks for your patience and understanding!

How well do you know......? Fun Quiz!

Here's something for a change of pace.  Try out these fun quizzes and see how you do.

Apparently I wasn't paying close attention the in 80's because my score was pathetic!

I'm embarrassed to say what my score was on the Disney Quiz.  My daughters will probably ace it!

There are many to chose from!  Let me know how you do!

Good Luck!

On Vacation!

Just wanted to show you a picture of us at Disney World.  This is why I won't be posting any match ups until we get back!  Wish you all were here!

Where has the time gone?!?

Last Friday I picked up my husband and brought him home for the first time in 9 weeks!  He and I have embarked on a new adventure in our lives, that of him being a long haul trucker and my being a trucker's wife.  He graduated from the training last week and got his (well deserved) 5 days at home.

Keith is in there somewhere! The boys ambushed him when he got home!

Here's how to make sure you see the posts you want to see (like mine!) on Facebook

I posted yesterday on my facebook page about the wonderful (yea right) change on facebook for pages.  In case you haven't heard, they are now going to charge us, anywhere from $5-$200 PER POST depending on how many people we want to see that post.  If we do not pay anything, only a small percentage of our followers will see the post.  Here is some more information on that from Facebook.

A fellow blogger at Don't Make Me Nuts posted this about how to make sure you see the posts you want to see:

Once you are logged into facebook, click over to Momma's Moolah's page.  Look below the cover photo on the right side for the "message" button.

Click on the little arrow at the end of the Message Button to open up a drop down menu, then click on "Add to Interest Lists".  Then click on "New List".

You can give your list a name and you can select all the pages you want in this list (be sure Momma's Moolah is there!).

You can also select who can see this list.  Click done!  Now the pages you selected will appear in your news feed.  You can find you list on your home page in the left side bar under "Interests".

Spread this around to all your friends.  Everyone complains about not seeing the posts they want to see and now you know how to change that!

Thanks Don't Make Me Nuts

Unplanned trip.......

I have an opportunity to go see my husband.  I haven't seen him since the first part of April and if I don't see him now it will be another 3 weeks before I see him.  So, I don't know if I'll get any match ups done this week. I'll be back home sometime tomorrow and I'll see what I can do then.

Have a great rest of the week!

Sidetracked: I've reorganized my pantry/laundry room

This is pretty much off topic for my blog, but you know how when you spend a lot time trying to do something that you kinda want to show it off?  Well that's where I'm at.  Since my husband is still on the road the only one's I can show it off to are the 4 legged kids and they really only care about where I put their food!

So if you will please indulge me just a bit, I am totally willing to embarrass myself by showing pictures of before and after.  My pantry is a part of my laundry room and it is small.  I don't have a large "stock pile" on food items because it's just my husband and me, and well now it's just me until he gets back home for a few days.
