Intermittent Internet

We continue to have issues with our internet service. It seems that our modem is at fault. We get about 10 minutes of internet and then it dies because the modem overheats. This is my guess of course. Hopefully, it will get resolved tomorrow.

Anyway, we had a great week. I spent the week with the kids in DC while Nick was away on business. Nick's mom watched the kids one night so I could get a break. The night was a much needed mom's night out. I'm already looking forward to the next one. I'm much more relaxed after this business trip then the last one. The only issue I have with visiting the City is that we all seem to come down with something within 5 to 7 days of our first day there.

We have been busy this weekend and have been trying to catch up on all our to-do's. We just finished mowing our lawn. Our garden is looking great. I think it will be a matter of a couple weeks before we have tomatoes and green beans. :)


Oh, and my deal of the week. I got 18 Tombstone Pizzas yesterday at Kroger. In order to get rock bottom prices I had to combine 3 different promotions/discounts.
First they were on sale for $2.50 (we consider anything under 3 bucks a great deal.)
-then take $.50 ea. coupons (I used 9 $1.00/2 coupons technically)
-rebate of $15 off WYB 17 (I bought 18... I know, crazy, but mind you that I'm married to Nick. Hopefully, it will last half a year.)
=$1.16 ea. OOP

I have had great luck with the rebates, so I will continue to do so. The other week I got $37 bucks in the mail (the free ham from Easter that you may remember) and money back for a free cleaning instrument.
