    Red face We're back on the bandwagon!!

    It's been WAY!!! too long since I posted. And unfortunately it was due to DSS's cancer diagnosis. But after almost two years of treatment and side effect issues he's cancer free and back to being just another annoying teen.

    However, our finances took a pummeling during his illness and now it's back to learning the ropes, so any encouragement would be greatly appreciated and it feels good to be back.

    It is wonderful that your son is cancer free and feels good enough to be an annoying teen. We are all here to help you and to see to it that you will be back in the frugal groove. Give your son a huge hug for all of us at the Village.
