NoJoMo 8 in NOJOMO

What are the achievements you’re most proud of?

• Homeschooling , definitely is at the top of the list. It’s not easy. There are days I daydream about putting all three on a bus and seeing them when they get home in the afternoon - but in reality I’m proud that I’m able to stay home and that we’ve had a mostly successful time homeschooling and I hope it continues.

• Losing the weight, not once - but twice. haha. This time though, it’s staying off.

• Being able to keep my shit together when Bobby is gone. Thankfully, I have pretty good kids - so that definitely helps!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is our busy day. Dakota has his OT/PT and Sawyer his Speech and Food Therapy. Juliet and I will make a quick trip to Dillon’s for a few things while they’re doing their thing.

Tonight, Dakota has Youth Group. I still don’t know who is taking him. Now with the time change, it will be dark when we leave to even drop him off. Which sucks. I may take him and go to Target to try on some jeans. I went through all I had and only have two that kinda sorta fit me well. The others are too big. They have a 20% off Cartwheel right now, plus they’re doing 10% off for military. Those combined with my 5% off with my red card isn’t a bad deal. Even if I just grab one pair.

I’m excited that the Black Friday ads have been coming out! My sister and I will go out late Thursday night way after dinner and once everyone is settling down. It’s a ‘thing’ we do. It’s fun.

This is my list for Target:

• A boardgame for Juliet - Most boardgames are 50% off. Also need to see if that includes Exploding Kittens, which I currently have in my Amazon cart for Dakota. Sawyer has Don’t Wake Daddy on the way already. I always get each kid some sort of board game each year.
• The new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book for Dakota - 50% off
• A Pokemon tin for the boys’ stockings - 50% off
• $14.99 Huge Sharpie pack for Sawyer. He likes to draw with these and Sharpies are expensive!
• Destiny 2 for XBOX One for Dakota - $30
• $14 Flannel sheet set. Bobby wants one that is plaid to ‘match’ with the new bed he built

Best buy’s ad came out today. They have two laptops, one for $99 and one for $120. I’m assuming these are the ones people wait in line for. I’m definitely not doing that, but I will stop by there just in case they happen to still have one. Even if they don’t, Wal-Mart has the $99 one for $150 right now, so maybe with Cyber Monday I can catch a deal on it if I don’t manage to snag it on BF.

Also at Best buy
- $8.99 Logitech Wireless Mouse for their laptop
- $50 Pressure Cooker - This is also $50 on Amazon right now too..so yeah. I will probably not get it..
- $40 Air Fryer. - I need to price check this one as well.

The two appliances are up in the air. I just thought the prices were decent so they’re just a maybe. Last thing I need is more kitchen appliances, doesn’t mean I don’t want them though…

So now I’m just waiting for the WalMart ad. Also want to see if American Eagle will be doing BOGO on their jeans which they have in the past.

I have also started cashing out some of my rewards points for Amazon cards. I currently have $65 in gift cards in my Amazon then I’ll eventually cash out another $100ish once I hit those tiers.

I have a little less than that in my Amazon cart, so that will pay for all of that.

Maybe I’ll actually be done with shopping earlyish this year?
