I have not been feeling much like a winner this week. We're both super busy at work, life is hectic at home, and Chuck's car has been in and out of the shop with one thing after another, which equals lots of money and carpooling. Looking on the bright side, I'll admit that I'd rather be busy than not busy at work, the kids are doing great at school, we've had Chuck's car for over 10 years and it's had hardly any problems until now, and carpooling isn't actually so bad! In fact, today carpooling was kind of awesome. Chuck got to see Clark's new class and meet his teachers for the first time, and since we were all together we decided to go out to dinner. Turns out, kids eat FREE on Tuesdays at Kirby Lane, and a ton of Aurora's friends seem to know about it so dinner was yummy, fun, and light on the pocket book! I needed a few things at HEB afterwards and the kids got Buddy Bucks, as usual. This time, BOTH KIDS WERE INSTANT WINNERS!!!
For those of you who don't live in Texas, we get Buddy Bucks every time we go food shopping with the kiddos, and usually they get 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, or 50 point stickers. Once you've accumulated a couple hundred points, you can mail them in and get cheap toys and school supplies, which they change up every few months. But SOMETIMES you get an instant winner, where you can claim your prize on the spot. A few weeks ago Aurora got a pencil sharpener and today she got an HEB pencil! Clark opted for the temporary tattoos and both kids had a great night. As much fun as we had, I'm hoping that tomorrow will be our last day of carpooling (and paying for car repairs) for awhile.

Wow, they were both instant winners?! Amazing! I used to try to get Buddy Bucks for the kids, but you have to have the kids with you to get them. Too bad about Chuck's car needing all those repairs - that's awful. I hope it gets fixed soon.
