When I saw this post I decided I definitely could use a trip down memory lane.
I know littlejo - traded for some flower bulbs from her yrs ago.
Barb is especially close to my heart... I have a lovely plaque w/ a saying about friends in my bathroom right now that she send me back when I first joined... I learned alot from her and am happy to see she is doing well and enjoying her retirement.
There are SO many I remember and everytime I read a post w/ a familiar name it really does take me back....
So how about this... those of us who have been around a long time... maybe we should do an update post...what's happened in our lives etc... since we wandered off.
I can tell you that I have been a member since right after my middle son was born, he's going to be 9 in March. WOW! LONG TIME!
Most of you know I have 3 sons. All are well and growing so big and strong. They are now 14, 8 & 5 (6 in a month).
I decided it was time to go back to work after being a SAHM for the past 7 or so yrs. It took me awhile but I've found a job that is a really "good fit" for me. Hours, salary and benefits are great!
My dh and I are still married. We still have a rough patch now and again, like everyone else but all the big problems are gone. He spends alot of time w/ me and the kids.
It really is different than it used to be and I'm pretty happy now the way things are going.
I feel priviliged to be one of the original group as well ... I don't post often. I read the posts every now and again but lay low mostly because I don't have the time I did.
I still coupon. I take hiatus' every now and again. I've just figured out how to balance the couponing/bargain hunting in me w/ the working mom in me....it isn't easy sometimes. Deals come and go so fast now.... most times I find out about them days after they are dead..LOL..
oh well. The world goes on.
Hope everyone else is doing well!
Glad to see so many familiar names
