We have tubs of tiny seedlings!
We managed to keep them alive through a tornado, keep them dry during the wet spell, and then. . . I left them out for too long on a sunny day and scorched them. Oh well, it's hard to be a plant around me!

Publix Shopping Report!
Today we snagged $68 in groceries and a $50 gas card for. . . . (drumroll). . . . . $53!!!!
I also had to run into Save A Lot to supplement and spent around $30. Not too shabby, considering that I feed a family of four and a daycare of 5!

Local Disasters - Tornadoes!!!
I cannot describe how scary last week was! We Southerners are used to mild and laid back weather - so the massive tornadoes that flattened whole towns last week came as a SHOCK.
Homeschooling was halted last Wednesday as I gathered the daycare kids into our basement, praying hard as the lights flickered. A tree fell on a friend's house and she brought her two little ones over for our basement, bad-weather vigil.
The children were all completely oblivious to the danger - begging to play flashlight tag, playing sleepover under a sheet tent, and excitedly eating at a basement "picnic." It's times like this that make me remember my parents telling me to not be in a hurry to grow up - being the one in charge is scary sometimes.
Thankfully, our home and family came out OK. We have a bit someone else's insulation storm strewn in our yard as the only reminder. Many were not so lucky.
We'll be going through our coupon stockpile for items to donate. I've been told that almost everything is needed - everything. A few things that I am thankful to have surplus of: deodorant, soap, and a few bottles of Herbal Essence shampoo. Any couponers out there? Or maybe just big hearted people with a few extra bottles of water to donate? I've been told that Publix is taking donations to distribute, and I'll double check that later tonight.
