My little girl and my cat are afraid of thunder. Very afraid. Which is why last night D came and knocked on our door during the storm, half crying of fear. So I went with her to her room, since hubby didn’t actually wake up (amazing…) and laid down with her to provide some kind of security. Mind you, this was at like 1 in the morning. Kid was trembling. Eventually though, she fell asleep. Next problem arises; Gus. He always acts like he is big and bad, but is really a little coward. He kept waking D up with his meowing and scratching on her door, because believe me, he knew that I was in there, and he was scared too. So I left D, who was practically sleeping, grabbed a comforter and the cat and went downstairs to sleep on the couch with him. He ended up UNDER the covers, begging to be rubbed. Stupid cat. So I spent the rest of the night on our uncomfortable couch, with a cat in my face (I’m allergic…). I am beat this morning.

We usually go grocery shopping at the base. It’s because we have to be there anyways, to pick D up from school, and we don’t have to pay taxes on the food there. Which gives us savings of like $11. Now, both hubby and I was getting rather tired of the hassle of grocery shopping down there, bringing a cooler for the meat, and such. So, we had gotten some coupons (5) from Kroger, so we ended up going there for our monthly shopping instead, which is nice and convenient. We bought pretty much the same amount of groceries as we usually do, using our five coupons and our Kroger Rewards Card. When we get up to pay, everything has been scanned and paid for, and the cashier hands me the receipt and says with a smile “Today you saved 64 dollars.” 64!!!!!!!!!! That’s INSANE! From here on, we will keep shopping at Kroger. They are awesome.
