Shopping with My Momma

My Mom came down to my house today (she lives 45 minutes north) to watch Jackson while I went to the doctor. If you read my blog regularly, you will notice that it seems like I go to the doctor every Tuesday. I have have been seeing a fertility specialist and was officially diagnosed today with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) today. As much as it was not great news, I was definitely relieved to finally get some answers to the questions I have been searching for since I was a teenager.

While she was here for the day, we went to get a few of this week's deals. The first stop was at Petco. They have their Science Diet on sale this week, $8 off selected 35lb to 40lb bags and $4 off selected 4.5lb to 17.5lb bags. Plus, we had coupons for $5 off each of the bags. We also stopped by Target, since it is in the same shopping center. We were able to find my son a pair of tennis shoes that were 75% off. WooHoo for the great bargains!
