Movie Script Ending

My family eats off of $200 worth of groceries p/week. One trip of about $120-$150 and then a few incedentals along the way; i.e. "shit, i forgot lemons.". Sprouts, the cheaper version of Whole Foods, and Trader Joes really save my ass when it comes to healthy living and cash flow. We do order in sometimes but the trend seems to wear down when I'm not on the mend from giving birth. My husband is really good about budgeting our money since we don't have a whole lot to work with. Don't get me wrong, we have fun. We go to Disneyland a lot with our Premium passes we buy with our tax returns. It's a family treat that gives us something to do when we can't really afford going else where. Packing snacks, bring your own water or coffee, discounts that come with the pass all help. We don't get churros and all that crap. Usually one meal in the park is about it. One word: bread bowls; such a warm and tasty treat. However, Disney is really stepping up their game when it comes to variety and vegetarian options. Moving along... As much as we like hanging out with friends we mostly like staying home and watching movies. After working 6 days a week, most days being 18hr days, it's nice to just be. Just sit and talk and love each other. I'm pretty convinced Jude thought his daddy didn't live with us at one point. He asked me if "daddy was comin over"...that was rough. I am so grateful that he has jobs that can keep us warm and fed and happy. I am also grateful for the man that he is and the love and support he gives me. He is the ink to my pad, the words on my page and the pep in my step.
Give your partner a kiss today and tell them you are grateful for them. It's good for all parties involved to feel and give gratitude. 

be well-
