Happy Mother’s Day! I hope that everyone has a beautiful day today and enjoys the blessings of family. I also wanted to send out my heartfelt love for those of you that no longer have your Mothers with you. I know this must be an incredibly gut-wrenching day for you and my heart goes out to you. ♥

I also wanted to give a shout-out to my most wonderful Mom in the world, Joannie. Over the last few years, as I have grown older, I have truly come to appreciate how amazing a person she is. My Mother is truly one of the most outstanding people I have ever known and will ever know. I am eternally grateful every single day for all the things she has taught me over the years, the tremendous caring and support she has shown over the years and all of the countless kindnesses along the way. Having a Mother like mine is without a doubt the Most Outstanding, True, Heroic, Epic, Relationship I will ever have. Thank you so much for everything Mother, I love you SO very much! ♥♥♥

Merry Christmas, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

So, have you ever had one of those weeks where you just cannot seem to get caught up? I am definitely having one of those weeks, maybe months, and you know what?! I have decided I am perfectly ok with that. One of the many lessons I’ve learned this year here in Joplin is that sometimes (a lot of times), things just take a little bit longer & getting upset about that fact will not change a darn thing. I’ve never been the most patient person in the world- my family, friends & especially my dh John are all very aware of this. Little things used to aggravate me to no end, getting stuck at stoplights, my computer not running quickly enough to suit my taste (yes, I confess, I have called my old loyal ‘puter every name in the book, poor thing), long hold times waiting for customer service on the phone, etc., etc, etc.. Well, nowadays, much more often that not, I am just so flippin’ happy to still be here and to have my friends & family that I hold very near to my heart, always. I’ve also never been very good at expressing my thoughts on how I feel, which maybe stems from insecurity, I guess I’m afraid of being thought of as a big ‘ol dork. 😉 But, I want to try and set those thoughts aside & let people know how I feel. On that note, I’d like to let you all know that I am SO very grateful to my readers and I just want to thank you for taking time out of your busy days to stop by & visit Frugal Fritzie. I put a lot of time & effort into my blog and happily so, because I love what I do and it totally makes my day every day knowing that I’ve helped someone save a few hard-earned dollars. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I’m giving each & every one of you a big, squeezy virtual hug right now! Love you guys! ♥♥♥

I couldn’t help but comment on the massive amount of snow we’re getting down here in Southwest Missouri today, blizzard conditions & we’ve gotten 14 inches so far today. I snapped the picture above just a few minutes ago and the wind was blowing so hard I barely got this picture taken. I know a lot of the country is getting snow today, so I was just wondering, how’s the weather where you are?

Hi Everyone, just a quick note to let everyone know I’m having a yard sale the next couple of days, so my posting will be on the light side during that time. I’ll try my best to squeeze in a few deals though. And I’ll be back to posting full force no later than Monday, probably Sunday. My Walgreens post will go up as regularly scheduled. I can’t wait to get this yard sale done, I’m sure I’ll have a few adventures to tell you about! Lol 🙂
