Teresa's Day Out

I got to spend time with momma today. I also spent Tuesday with her. Tuesday we went to Marx Optical to get her eyes examined. She definitely needs glasses. (I think she should wear them all the time) but she doesn't think so. I did convince her to wear them while she reads and drives. She was just going to buy herself reading glasses but she really needs them when she drives also. I don't often win battles but thank goodness I won this one. We went to the mall so she could spend the gift certificate that she won at the fashion show. They had it at church to benefit the Cancer Society. We then were going to eat at the $5.00 Buffet but hat to eat at the Catfish Buffet instead. It now cost $8.50 each to eat instead of the original $5.00. It's exactly the same with the exception of maybe more fish on the buffet and of course the higher price. Today she drove me to Hartselle to the bank and we then went to Wal-Mart and Cato's. She bought herself a beautiful sweater to go with her new tan dress pants. We then came back to her house and she put away the few groceries that she had bought. We then headed to Moulton. She bought my lunch at Western Sirloin. We had the broiled lemon peppered fish lunch. She had a baked potato and I had the fries. We then went to Moulton Wal-Mart and then back home. Grand total I spent $0.00. Priceless. lol. I owe her at least two lunches when Mike goes back to work full time.
I hope that Automatic goes back to 40 hours soon. It is so hard to make it on 32 hours pay each week. If it weren't for Brandon and Nathaniel helping out we definitely would have already gone under. I don't feel too bad taking their help since they both still live at home and have no bills. My car doesn't run so I don't have a way to go to work even if I had a job. My hands are kind of tied right now. Enough of that. Things ARE going to get better and I have to remember that there are a lot of folks a lot worse off than us. I need to quit feeling sorry for myself. : )
