President's Day Vacation

This was a great family weekend! The children are home for Winter Break and we did not go anywhere!

I shopped around for the best deal on a laptop and Husband helped me SOOOOO much. First in making the decision, then installing everything. I am not the engineer I think I am! The first thing I installed I locked up the internet~ it was Norton antivirus... go figure.

Today the children are playing on "their" computer and playing their DS. We are being so lazy!
I am sitting on my bed typing and surfing away!

I sold several items on ebay. It has definately been a learning experience.

• Do not sell over a holiday weekend. I did not have any "show-downs" in the last few minutes of bidding like I did before.
• Shipping is really hard. Sometimes I win, others I have lost big - like $5-$6 per item.
• Husband is not proud I am selling our possessions to buy a laptop. He told Muffintop at basketball that she too could have a laptop if she sold $1500 worth of goods out of her house for $300. I love that Man~ always calling it like he sees it!

Twin C won Valentines Day Queen for her room! They also named a King! It was great! All of the classmates voted!

My Addictions Have Gone TOO Far

Okay, this is THE funniest Post I have read in a long time! It was only funny to me, because I think this is me. These two girls share a blog and one is writing about the other. I laughed so hard (Muffin top) when I read about the aspirin! Reminds me, I need to give you some of those 10 bottles to take to your parents! If you read the post and see "Drama Mama", I am publicly asking for intervention!

Husband had the day off and we had a great time! The children are out of school for Winter Break! We started off the morning at THEIR favorite breakfast spot - Waffle House. We smelled like the place for the rest of the day! We had a family bowl-a-rama on the Wii and Twin C spanked us all with FOUR strikes in a row! We made our way South and found a new laptop (on sale no less) and then ate dinner at Carabbas! Husband and Son wanted to see Spiderwick so we all went! It was a little too scary for the girls, but they made it through it. I'll let you know in the next few weeks if any "severe damage" was done to their sleeping patterns... husband managed to parallel the Bible with the movie and explain how there are really "Ogars" in our lives, those we cannot see (Satan) and how we have to put on our Armor of God daily!

Overall the day was great! We have basketball in the morning and then we are going to pickup my laptop! I cannot wait! I will be blogging all over the house now!

IHOP and The Science Fair

Our Pancakes were delicious!

We went to IHOP right after school!

The children ate their free pancakes, Cheesy-eggs and bacon! My best friend and her children met us there! They all had fun and we got to catch up!

I did not take any pictures at IHOP, but I did at the Science Fair! Son won FIRST place for Fifth grade! I am so proud of him!
***Thank you to Mr. Larry who helped our little inventor!**

This is what the girls did with my camera while I was in the Book Fair! Aren't they cute? Taking pictures of each other!

I will be posting on Thursday about our Valentines. We drew names and everyone is writing a poem for that family member! I can't wait to read what those children wrote!

First Daffodils of Spring

I love my yard!

We have a hill that is known around town as "Daffodil Hill."

The lady who lived on the property before us filled a small section of the field with these beautiful spring flowers. That was probably 50 years ago. Now they run rampant down the hill with a sweet wild daisy that follows in April!

As the field starts to bloom I will keep you posted!

For now enjoy the first cuttings - compliments of Twin M!!

She even took the picture!

Lazy Saturday

The children and I have been working on Valentines this weekend!
At the ages of 9 and 11 a lot of thought and work goes into these special creations!!
We will definitely have a few masterpieces by Thursday!

Tuesday after school I am taking them to IHOP for a Pancake special! They are sooo looking forward to that! That place scares my Mother. She has never seen three kids (who normally eat like birds) gorge themselves with pancakes and bacon! That is their favorite meal!

I have now created a store for my eBay auctions! This is really a lot of fun! Like I said before, I'll let you know if it is really a money maker or a time waster! It is very time consuming and just plain CONSUMING! I could never do the stock market. I would be glued to a ticker 24/7.

We are winding down our basketball schedule this week and next are the last games!!!!!

Soccer is definitely our sport. Twin C loves basketball, but the other two are just there because I paid for it and I will not let them quit their team! Their teammates are depending on them!

We had a fun family night last with tacos and nachos. We played Monopoly and of course their entrepreneur Father beat us all!! He has a way of turning everything to gold!!
The girls helped me bake a chocolate cake with carmel! They love to help in the kitchen! They have monogramed aprons from their grandmother and think they are little CHEFS! I love it!
We had a great family Friday night!

I am planning to spend the rest of the afternoon after basketball gathering my item for this weeks eBay! Baseball pants and cleates; some ski items for those "Spring Break" trips...and who knows. Husband better come home before I sell it all!!!!!!!!!

Family Update

I am sorry I have totally deserted my blog!

I have a new hobby, yes MOM, something other than couponing, book fair and CVS...It is Ebay!

You remember how well I did at Christmas with the Wii, well I am not having that much success, but I am selling it all so I can buy a laptop!

Once I actually started saving money from all my coupons I decided to save for a laptop. My children are thrilled and encouraging me to sell their toys...(not really). But they do have an alterior motive - they want total access to my "old" computer.

My son's Acedemic Team did not place tonight, but they did well. We went and ate dinner afterwards with another family...on a School NIGHT! I know I am softening. We had not even studied for vocab or spelling. You know us, living on the wild side.

The Birthday party was great! The girls had a blast!

The picture at the top is Big Brother at the Hannah Montanna concert/movie. When it was over he told me "privately" that he was not going to tell his friends at school he went to the movie. You can't blame the boy! He was one of only five males in the theater, one was his dad and the others were selling popcorn!

Husband and I went to Cancun for a GREAT getaway. Very nice weather and great food! We really enjoyed the date time!

I promise not to be so slack! I'll let you know if I found my new profession after Monday when all my acutions end!

Monday Moments

I m back in town!!
Last week was great! The girls had a blast celebrating their birthday at the Hanna Montana Concert/Movie! I'll post more about that later!

This was to good not to share!
I am not POLITICAl, BUT please remember to vote tomorrow!

UNITED STATES MAP
A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked like.

Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby and said, "Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This will show you our whole country today."

After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly.

"Oh," she said, "on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He Belonged, then our country just came together."

Your Check Should Arrive in May

With unprecedented speed and cooperation, Congress and the White House forged a deal Thursday to begin rushing tax rebates of $600 to $1,200 to most tax filers by spring, hoping they will spend the money just as quickly and jolt the ailing economy to life...

Individual taxpayers would get up to $600 in rebates, working couples $1,200 and those with children an additional $300 per child under the agreement. In a key concession to Democrats, 35 million families who make at least $3,000 but don't pay taxes would get $300 rebates.

The rebates would phase out gradually for individuals whose adjusted gross income exceeds $75,000 and for couples with incomes above $150,000. Contributions to IRA and 401(k) retirement accounts and health savings accounts would not count toward the income limit.

Valentines Day is Right Around the Corner

I was blog-hopping and found a great site with wonderful VALENTINES DAY ideas!

For the Children
For the Teens
For the Husband

You know that I am not a great gift-giver and would love any advice you could give.

Have you given something in the past that really scored BIG?

I'd love to hear about it!

I need all the help I can get!

No, I am not pregnant, I just loved this photo!!!

I Made It!

I survived buffalo chicken dip, Barbara Jeans pumpkin bread and ice cream pie!
Boy, my cousins sure know how to eat!!! That's all we did over the weekend was plan the next meal. Of course they are tiny! One just gave birth four months ago and looks great and I called the another "Yoga-Butt" all weekend. My other cousins and Aunts are also just as fit... :)


We did go down to the beach and let the children get their feet wet. It was about 50 degrees and yes, we had lost our minds, but "it was their idea!"


My Aunt from Oregon came and brought a huge box of dress up clothes that all seven of the girl cousins went crazy over! And of course they played outside on their scooters and bikes.

My sister and I go to FL quite often, even though it is FAR away. "Are we there yet?" No trip would be complete if we did not go to the FUDGE shop for ice cream!! This is a favorite for the children. big and small!!!

Thanks for a FUN weekend! I can't wait for the wedding in May! I got my "save the date" card yesterday!! I love our family!!!!

I am not the only one who loves CVS

Do You think He had Coupons and used ECB's???

It's Over

This past summer I told my 10 year old (going into fifth grade) son the truth about Santa Claus. I had a hunch he knew, but he did not completely let on and I did not want them making fun of him - FIFTH GRADE and he still believed!

Tonight I am in the car with just the girls and Twin C asked if Santa gets gas and goes to the grocery store just like we do. Well out of nowhere Twin M says "Weellll NOOOO! It's Mom and Dad" <*$&*@#^$(%)@&$&!*(^$)(#%&)(_)@#)*&@^% My jaw hit the steering wheel and tears formed in my eyes. She proceeds to tell her sister that Jeremiah said he caught his mom and dad writing gift tags for his gifts and they told him it was them. Twin C says "Mom is that true? You and Dad really can't afford a Wii? Can You? There is a Santa?"

By this time I have managed to find a parking space and tell Twin C to get into the gym she is late for practice. I held Twin M back in the car and she immediately says "I was just kidding, I know there is a Santa." My response "Please do not discuss this again until we get home!" I was stunned, speechless, disappointed, angry...You get the idea.

They are in THIRD GRADE! I know they are days away from turning NINE, but its over. None of my babies believe. They aren't even babies anymore. Grown ad-dults who still live in my home, eat my food, dirty up my fresh towels. Oh my how I am having a pity party. If I could I would run to the store for some Midol and Salem Lites...

You know I don't smoke, but oh how I must be PMS. Jeremiah better be glad I do not know his last name and where he lives. Children these days...

GrandMother

Husband and I took out Friday morning headed to the big city to go shopping for the day. Nothing big in mind, just a get-a-way! His dad called at 9am to say his mother had passed away during the night. The funeral was Sunday. So we drove up with the children early Sunday morning and came back last night.

It was very sweet! She was a precious christian lady! I have no doubt she is dancin' with Jesus right now in her 18 year-old-body! Her husband was there to greet her no doubt and they are enjoying each others company once again!

We will miss you Grandmother P!

HUGE Old Navy Sale FRIDAY!

Old Navy is going to be running a huge sale on Friday with 50%-75% off their clearance prices. I love to get their jeans for $5 for the children! I am going to buy the next size up for next year!!! I can't wait! You know how I love a bargain!

You Can't Take Discipline Too Far!

Go read this article!
'Meanest Mom on Planet' Sells Teen Son's Car After Finding Booze Under Seat.
It is great!

This Mother should be applauded! She sold her son's car after she found booze under the front seat. We should all read this article and NEVER back down once we have made a rule. (Right Honey, just like I do here at the house :))

Lesson in Lemons

Husband and I have "altered" our diet and we are very aware of everything we eat these days. I am having a problem drinking my water so I bought a lemon to slice to add to it.

Yesterday I had cut the lemon up and was cooking dinner while the children finished their homework. I went to load the dishwasher and saw four lemon wedges in the bottom of the sink. I went nuts. "Who sucked four lemons and put them in the sink?" I had three little children starring at me with big green eyes. "Not me. Not me. Not me." Daughter #1 said "I think Harley (Cockapoo) did it."

"Are your Serious? I just cut these up so I would force myself to drink water and I want to know who ate them?" This little scene went on for several minutes until it hit me. Husband had come home for lunch and I saw he had a Styrofoam cup with fruit juice in it. I busted out laughing. "I am so sorry guys. Mommy knows what happened and I am so sorry I accused you of doing something you did not do." With big smiles and giggles they asked if Harley ate them? No, your Daddy did it... They thought it was so funny that Daddy ate my lemons. I explained that he had "lunch" with his Dad and two brothers and only had ice water with lemon in it and then came home to really eat. He poured the lemons out and got the juice. They just howled at the thought that I was mad at their Daddy for sucking lemons and throwing them in the sink!

Then of course, since I had made a fool out of myself Daughter #2 (blue) said "Are you going to put that on your blog?" - YES I AM MISS PRISSY- NOW GO!!!

How to Go Organic - Where to Start?

Organic foods can put a real dent in the grocery budget.

If you choose organics to limit pesticides in your family’s diet but are concerned about cost, know that USDA testing reveals some conventionally grown produce contains more pesticide residue than others: spinach, pears, nectarines, peaches, apples, strawberries, raspberries and potatoes contain high levels of residue. Produce that is typically “unwrapped” before being eaten--bananas, corn, onions, mangos, avocados--has lower levels of residual pesticide.

Try choosing organic for those foods at highest risk of containing pesticides (like spinach and strawberries) and stick to less-expensive conventional foods for others.

Put local ahead of organic! If you have a farmers stand or Farmer's Market close by that should be your first choice. I know at our local Farmer's Market they do bring items in from other countries ocassionally, but it is always posted!

Our Children and Cell Phones

Do you know all the texting lingo? I sure do not. This is from Focus On The Family's Website. I thought it was good information to have with so many OTHER young children getting cell phones these days. My children will not be carrying one any time soon! If they are at school 8 hours a day and then I am driving them everywhere they need to go, why do they need a phone? I sure don't want them calling me telling me I'm late to pick them up!! ha

Here is the book:

Resolutions

Did you post up your New Years Resolutions for 2008? Every year I start out with a new diet. I think I set myself up for failure every time. Husband has a trip EVERY January that I always love to go on! Needless to say I am not going on a diet, but going to focus on changing my eating habits.

1. I am grocery shopping along the perimeter of the grocery store. I will be loaded with fruits and veggie and dairy for the children!
2. My chunky-butt is going to walk with or without my friends and not use them as my excuse for not exercising.
3. I am going to save more money than ever before. I do not know what I plan to do with all of this savings, but I know I will not be purchasing a home gym!

Tonight we ate a long grain-whole wheat rice with lots of veggies! Husband is going to take some adjusting. I am not sure if he was mad or hungry, but he went to bed at 9PM...

Happy New Year - 2008

Football, Football, Football......
We have gone from one game to another! Was it like this at your house? I am about to go to bed and we are still watching FOOTBALL.. Including all three children. Put them to bed!

So now you know what we did for New Years!!! Husband did get the wreaths off the front windows and the girls had a race down to the street to gather the Merry Christmas Signs. I guess my neighbor down the street has me beat on leaving the yard decorations out! I wonder who will win the indoor tree competition? If you do not live in my small town this may not be as funny to you.

Today has been another day in the bed. This sickness has to get better soon. 2008 is going to be a HEALTHY year! I mean it!

I thought I would include this picture on my Son. We were at a sledding park while on vacation in Colorado. He had sat in the front of the sled and had snow/ice crystals flying up on his face. While I zoomed in for the shot, he was yelling "quit taking a picture and help me." I just love that boy!

Classic Olan Mills Shots

If you need a good laugh, you have to check out this blog! Let me know if you spot some of your kin... If you read Ree at Pioneer Woman, she is the last photo! What a hoot!

I also wanted to mention that my funny Daughter #1 had her letter to Santa published in the local paper! I knew it was cute, but I am her mother!

Sick in Bed

I spent Saturday morning at the Doctor's office. I have not been seen at his office since 2005. I have a bronchial infection. Too much fun in the snow.
Since I had to get a prescription filled I got a $25 gift card from CVS for a new Rx. My consolation prize for being sick! I have read about some great bonus deals CVS has starting for week of 1/6/08. Lots of ECB items, but I'll post about that on the other blog!

This is the second time I have been sick this winter and it is not even January. Husband and I are going to do the Daniel Fast for 21 days in January. The Daniel Fast will lead to spiritual insight. “As for these four boys, God gave them knowledge and skill.” (Daniel 1:17) The application of a Daniel Fast is longer than one day. These young men fasted for at least ten days. (Daniel 1:12, 15).
This is only a partial fast. Daniel and his friends ate only vegetables and drank only water. (Daniel 1:12).

Our church is fasting as a whole in January. I have specifically written out ten or more prayers I am fasting for. One of my prayers is to alter my families eating habits. Our plan is to change our eating style once this is over.

Husband is going to have a much rougher transition I think than myself because he does not like beans. I plan on eating them over whole grain rice and calling it a meal. I will keep you posted on the progress of our eating habits.

The original plan for Sunday was to take the tree down since we are having friends over for New Years... I think they will have to see our house still completely decorated. I think I remember my Mom saying it was bad luck to keep your tree up past New Years? I am going take my chances this year and go with the man down the street from us who keeps his three trees lite well into February...

Saturday Review

I hope you had a beautiful Christmas with your family! We had a lot of fun with family!
I have a couple of new money saving ideas on my Savings $$$ blog - Enough Cents 2 Save.

On Friday we cleaned out the girls room, again! This time we moved their beds around and made a "desk" out of their vanity. Hopefully the new look will inspire them to keep it clean. They told my Grandmother their room was not clean because they were messy. They seem to be fine with it, but it make me NUTS.
We finally brought all of the goodies upstairs and cleaned out the den. Now I need to take down all the Christmas decorations. That is always so sad to me. I love decorating the house, getting everything all festive. Breaking it all down is depressing. We are hosting our HomeTeam over New Years Eve, so at least I have motivation to get it all down.

Today is one of my Mother-In-Laws birthday and we will be celebrating Christmas with them. Happy Birthday!!!!

I have not posted about the ski trip yet. We had an amazing trip! The children were naturals on the slopes. I on the other hand chickened out. Who was going to care for our family when I was laid up - big sissy! I am not complaining! I had a wonderful trip! We went sledding, ice skating, swimming in a hot springs and shopping!! :) There was so much to do! They had a free gondola that took you from one side of the mountain to the other. Our place was in walking distance to everything. The children were in heaven with all the cousins! We cooked dinner several nights at each others place and gave all the parents a night to go out on a date! One night we had sitters come and keep all 11 children and the adults went out to eat. We played the Dirty Santa game and had a great time!

The trip was definitely a Christmas memory we will all never forget!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

I hope you had a beautiful day celebrating Jesus' birth!!


All of the children had a great two-days! We visited my Mom on Christmas Eve and Husbands family for Christmas lunch! It was hard to get the children ready for bed! All they wanted to do was play!

Husband got Guitar Hero for the new Wii and the children have cried all day "because Daddy won't give them a turn." Not really, but he sure has had fun with it! Look at him go!


The Wii is definitely a hit! They each got a new webkin and spent about an hour trying to log on. My children and about two million other children were also trying to log on! I keep thinking this is just a phase, but we are still in it!

Husband had a set of shelves made for my new den! I love them! Even more than that, I can't wait to decorate them! Once again Husband has out done himself with the perfect gift! I love you!!

Merry CHRISTmas to all and to all a good night...

Merry CHRISTmas

I hope you have a very Merry CHRISTmas! I have to HoHoHo and will be taking a break!
THANK YOU for being such a loyal reader!
Remember WHOSE you are this season when you are at WalMart and Belks.......those people need to see our light at all times, even when they "steal" your parking space or take to long in line with all their coupons (grin)!!
Love you all!!

Where Have You Been?

Every day has been jammed packed! Today I went to the worse place ever - Wal-Mart. I promised myself I would not step foot in there after Thanksgiving and I did today. It was crazy. The parking lot alone should have stopped me from entering the store.

I did find myself at Jaque-Penney's using my $10 off any purchase of $10 or more! Lucky me, my Mom had given me two additional coupons and I got $30 for FREE!! I know this blog is not about savings anymore, but it is about ME and I like to save money!!! SO, what did I buy? Socks and Underwear for a family that my HomeTeam is helping for Christmas! Not real exciting, but good quality for very little money!!!

We celebrated Christmas tonight with our Church! It was a great meal and lots of fun games! They hosted off site and everyone had a great time! I laughed so hard at our table! My hometeam characters are great!

Last night Husband came home real early and we ate dinner then celebrated his birthday! I scored big!! I got him a fancy weather-clock (that we currently cannot get to work, but it sure looks neat). He got a great sweatshirt, a new razor and a sweater! Hopefully I made up for a lousy anniversary gift. Actually anything would have beat that since I did not give him anything. I know...what was I thinking? Obviously I was not.

My Mom is coming down Thursday to help me fold laundry and get caught up. Plus I have been such a bad daughter and I have only seen her once in the last two weeks since her surgery.

Today I went on a field trip to our local museum. I will get to do the same field trip on Friday with my other daughter!!!!!! I can't wait. Times like these make me want to put them in the same class.

We have our house decorated and we are actually enjoying the Christmas season. I wrapped up 24 Christmas books on November 30Th and every night we have opened a book and read it! The girls have really gotten in to this. We have made homemade breads and started some baking. It has been so warm, it does not feel like winter yet!

You will have to read my post about the Spa Rewards! I cannot wait! Did you get yours?

Enough Cents To Save

Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor and sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground.

I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my child's red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between cycles, and who knows when I will find anymore free time in the next 18 years.

Here are my Christmas wishes:

I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache (in any color, except purple, which I already have) and arms that don't hurt or flap in the breeze, but are strong enough to pull my screaming child out of the candy and/or toy aisle at Walmart and/or Target.

I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventh month of my last pregnancy.

If you're hauling big ticket items this year - I'd like fingerprint resistant windows and a radio that only plays adult music, a television that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals, and a refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can hide to talk on the phone.


On the practical side, I could use a talking doll that says, "Yes, Mommy" to boost my parental confidence, along with two kids who don't fight and three pairs of jeans that will zip all the way up without the use of power tools.

I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting "Don't eat in the living room" and "Take your hands off your brother, "because my voice seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only be heard by the dog.

If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough time to brush my teeth and comb my hair in the same morning, or the luxury of eating food that is warmer than room temperature without it being served in a Styrofoam container.

If you don't mind, I could also use a few Christmas miracles to brighten the holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare ketchup a vegetable? It will clear my conscience immensely.

It would be helpful if you could coerce my children to help around the house without demanding payment as if they were the bosses of an organized crime family.

Well, Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is calling and my son saw my feet under the laundry room door. I think he wants his crayon back.

Have a safe trip and remember to leave your wet boots by the door and come in and dry off so you don't catch cold.

Help yourself to cookies on the table but don't eat too many or leave crumbs on the carpet, because yours truly will be the one to have to clean up after you - and if you haven't noticed - I have enough on my plate.

Yours Always,

MOM...

P.S. One more thing...you can cancel all my requests if you can keep my children young enough to believe in Santa.


I received this as an email and had to share. Author-Unknown

Re-Gifting

I have never been a huge fan of re-gifting because my memory is so short! I'd probably re-gift to the same person. Besides the fact that my family is great at gift giving. I am the one who is severely challenged in gift giving!

Anyways, look at what Husband came home with last night! Don't think we won't be giving over half of that bad boy away! Teachers gifts, mailman, choir teachers... Need I go on? I don't know how well you can see the picture, but the basket is amazing! Not quite sure what I will do with it yet!
Here is the description of the "Sky's the Limit Gift Basket" Bold items will be consumed by the receiver of the basket!! :)
Wow them with this vast array of gourmet Wine Country fare. Portlock smoked salmon, Nonni's roasted garlic crackers, caviar, over two pounds of Godiva chocolate including dark and milk chocolate biscotti, dark chocolate covered almonds and pretzels, assorted Godiva chocolate bars, Italian tiramisu chocolate, caramel walnut cookies, chocolate graham crackers, Ghirardelli milk chocolate and Twilight Delight dark chocolate, lindt truffles, serving dish and items too numerous to list make this one of the season's most magnificent gifts. Gift Size 34" x 13" x 11"

By the way, I guess I should thank the Gift Giver - an Ad Agency! Maybe we should say thank you for the gift that keeps on GIVING!!!!

dear santa, i want a ...

My first daughter is really funny! Always saying something to make us laugh! I was going through her Tuesday-Signed Paper folder and found a note to Santa that was addressed to him and she said mailed off.



I do not know if you can read all the items well, but look at the last two sentences. "You get the idea." and then she said "I hope you come." I think she is doubting herself here. Has she really been good?@!#?!@??? Oh she is a hoot!

While I am posting about her I thought I would include her Thanksgiving Journal entry. "If I were a turkey" She says "would you go into the woods and get a dog and kill it? Like ,God made turkeys just the same as other animals... What if someone ate you for Thanksgiving? I bet you wouldn't like that would you?"

Don't you like the valley-girl talk going on! Like, what are you thinkin', like who are we to eat the bird, like...I don't know where she gets it... Like, Do You????

Happy Birthday Baby Boy

Okay, so he is not a baby anymore. We are eye-to-eye these days and I know, that is not saying much since I am only 5'2".

Today you are eleven years old. It is hard to remember Rock Hill eleven years ago. That seems like lifetimes ago, yet I can still remember that sweet smile! Oh you are my precious boy!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hard to believe this picture was taken in July - I still had at least an inch on you 6 months ago - not anymore!

Tuesday Drama

I picked up my long-legged friend for lunch Monday. We were meeting Saggy-Boobs and Muffintop at a sweet little tea room for my birthday! I had a great salad with dried cranberries and banana chips served with a poppy seed dressing! It was wonderful!

When I picked LongLegs up, I had my new CHRISTmas cd playing. The song was by Montgomery Gentry, Merry Christmas from the Family . It is a HOOT! It does not really sound like my family, but they sure sound like fun! I found the lyrics and if you have time read them, but it is much funnier listening to him sing it! Here is the end that reminds me of National Lampoons Christmas! "CLARK...We sold the house..."

Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motor home in
They blew our Christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited out on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night
Oh Silent Night o' holy night

Carve the turkey turn the ballgame on
Mix Bloody Marys cause we all want one
Send somebody to the Stop 'n Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprite
A box of midol, some Salem Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

OKAY, so I am insane! Daughter M fell down the front steps tonight while I was talking to one of my MIL's. She is complaining of her back...we'll see if we make it through the night. She already has a Doctor's appointment at 9 am in the morning for her digestive system. Son went to Alabama to see a civil war reenactment. He hurt his calf in an acorn fight yesterday in the neighbors yard. He is so sore today. I had to get him out of the tub so I could put his sister in after she fell. Husband called at 6 (during the fall-drama) to let me know he was on his way. He was stopping off to buy some OJ and meds...he does not feel good. He thinks he has a cold coming on. Daughter C and I are leaving for the night. Anyone want to take us in?

Actually it is not even eight PM and I have them all in bed and I am blogging! :)
I will keep you posted on our status!

Happy Birthday To You!

We had a wonderful weekend! Husband and the children were very creative in their gift giving and wrapping!
My husband travel with a group of men three times a year to "compare notes" and trade tips. He emailed seven of them and asked them to send him the Sunday edition of their newspaper. He received The New York Times, Midland Michigan, Seattle Post, Shreveport, LA and others. He also bought a new coupon organizer for me to organize all those coupons.
Well let me explain how this turned into a valuable teachable moment with the children. 1. It is the thought that counts. 2. It is better to give than to receive.
I tell you that to explain that three times a year the Sunday Paper does NOT have coupons in it. Well, the Sunday after Thanksgiving is one of those Sundays. I was heart broke for him. Not because I did not rack up on coupons, but because of all the thought that went into this precious gift! I love that man! He is always so creative and so thoughtful!
I do not know if you have ever read 5 Love Languages, but it really changed our marriage. When we took the quiz one of his top three was Gift Giving. Sadly Gift Giving is last on my list which means I have to work hard at coming up with ideas for him. His birthday is coming up in 18 days, I'll let you know what I come up with!
They also gave me a BEAUTIFUL coat! It is so soft! Thanks you for the BEST birthday!

Birthday Blessings

Tonight I took a long hot bath while I listened to my Ipod my sweet sister gave me for my birthday on my Ipod docking station my sweet Mama gave me. I downloaded Hear Something Country Christmas 2007 album from Itunes with birthday money from my in-laws. I did all of this while my Husband and children were wrapping a gift for me! I could hear the faint whispers and giggles and occasional shouts and I just sat and praised my Heavenly Father for the blessings in my life.

At breakfast the other morning my friends and I laughed at "where we could have been" had we stayed in our hometowns and life not worked out so beautifully as it has. God has a plan and so often when it is not our plan we fuss and cry because we did not get our way. I want to publicly thank Husband for bringing me into his life and sharing the best gift of all time - Jesus Christ. I know our road was rocky this past year, but I will travel down that road with you as long as we are together! We go on the 10Th for a three month check up for cancer. I know God is working in your life and feel His mighty presence in our life.

There are some things money cannot buy and our love for each other is one of them! Thank you Husband for loving me! That is the best gift of all! I Love You!

Organizing Coupons

I saw a good friend at the DQ today! Seeing someone at the DQ - doesn't that sound like a country song :)!

I showed her my "Dorthy-Basket" and thought I would share it with you! I also read a great post on a real cheap organizer!


I took small invitation size envelopes from WalMart and made categories. I file all food items in the front A-Z then I file all toiletries, medicines and cleaners (A-Z). I am not sure where the basket came from, but I know it was from a gift somewhere along the way (meaning I did not buy it).

When I get the sales flyer's I sit down and collect all the coupons for that store and place them in the blue file-pack. I take the file pack into the store and leave the basket in the car. I always take my basket in the car (I treat it like my purse, taking it everywhere). If I get into the store and find a clearance item and know I have a coupon, I have been known to leave my buggy and go out to the car for a coupon. May sound extreme to some, but would you throw a quarter in the trash, I think not!!! Since I am showing pictures, I thought I would share my big comfy chair where I clip and watch Oprah and eat bon-bons! I love my chair, I call it my-space!

I also wanted to share two websites that I check all the time COUPON MOM and REFUNDCENTS. You have to subscribe to Refund Cents, but I felt it was worth it!! Coupon Mom is just like the Grocery Game, but free! I hope this helps you with your coupons! I love saving money!

Deals of the Day

What a beautiful Saturday morning! We do not have anywhere we have to be!! No sports, birthday parties, no NOTHIN'! I am so relieved! This was a crazy week spent mostly on the road! Today I am praising God for soft pj's and lazy mornings!
UPDATE: I knew it was too good to be true! Daughter C just so sweetly asked if we could go to Home Depot this morning to make the Serving Tray. How do they remember this stuff? I told her we would go closer to noon...

Thank you for all of your prayers and calls about my mother. She came through the surgery great. She is recovering much better this go round! She will come home from the hospital today in a neck brace. The doctor said it did look pretty bad, but that is "good" hopefully she will not be in pain anymore!

My sister and I took advantage of being in Atlanta for the day and did some light CHRISTmas shopping. Wouldn't you know there was a craft show going on at the hospital - 1 day only! Lots of cinnamon potpourri and pound cakes...

She is frantically looking for baby doll that "swims"... we hit several toy stores and Target, but did not score. Of course we found ourselves at WalGreens! Wouldn't you know, when we walked in with my "Dorthy-Basket" of coupons and her coupon pouch the cashier said "If you purchase $50 today you will receive a $20 gift card!" Enough said! The hunt was on! You can run up a $50 bill quickly with diapers! We found two bottles of Excedrin Migraine and tension headache medicine 2 for $5.75 and of course I had $2 off coupons!! She got a free roll of wrapping paper that she climbed to the top of the store to get, and a great deal on batteries for her camera (that she is getting for Christmas - hint, hint to Sister's Husband).

I finished shopping for the children and even found wool socks and long johns for the ski trip! Target has cute Footie-pj's on sale this week for $8. Son got a pair of camo (they will be mine one day soon if he keeps growing so fast!) and the girls got skiing monkeys! Too cute!! Sister and I had a lot of fun picking everything out together! I got home around 10 pm last night and was exhausted.

I got the children up early this morning and we studied for their spelling, vocab and social studies test! Husband earned his stripes last night by taking them to the Parade! We have always gone (9 year tradition) and they were adamant about going, so he packed a picnic and blankets and away they went! I was so proud of him for going! Cold weather, screaming kids and a large crowd...I can't think of anything else he loves more! :) Thank you honey for taking one for the team last night! Momma, Sister and I thank you for your sacrifice!!!!

A couple from our home team was asked to enter an ornament into the Downtown Development Contest and they WON FIRST PLACE! WOW!! What big fun! They spent so much time on the project! It looked great! Well Done! They won a $100 gift certificate to the Downtown Restaurants that I think they are going to give to Pastor and his wife!! Maybe next year we will enter the parade and have the choir and the ornament on the float!!!

CVS has a great sale on photo enlargements:
Add two 5x7 or two 8x10 to your shopping cart, use promo code NBOGO, and you will only pay for one 5x7 or one 8x10!

Sunday's coupons!!

Many of you have asked how I find such great coupons - Sunday's paper!! This Sunday there will be three packs of coupons! Grab your neighbors if they do not clip!!!!
UPDATE:
SO MANY of you gave me a hard time about listing the coupons, I took them off! NO, I did not type all that - cut and pasted from one of my websites...that I will not be sharing with you anymore. :)

Happy Birthday ROSE!!!

I know your birthday is not going to be a "good-one" this year since you are having back surgery. There were 364 other days we could have scheduled this...

Please pray for ROSE and the Doctor's hand during surgery and a speedy recovery!

Happy Birthday Mom! I love you!

Christmas Card Photo

I finally decided on a picture for our cards. If you order 50 from Walgreens thru Saturday, December 1st and use the promo coupon THANKS at checkout, you will get 25 pictures for free. They must be the same print and you must put 50 in your cart for code to work! I got 50 pictures for $5.15!!

There Is No Greater Work

Many of you know that I am a huge fan of the Money Saving Mom - Crystal. She also has another Blog that I read BiblicalWomanhood. She has a post that was very powerful to me and I wanted to share the link with you. If you know me, you know how often I struggle being satisfied as a Stay-at-home-mom (sahm). This was just the right dose I needed for this time in my life!

Thank you Crystal for expressing your thoughts so eloquently.

Support our Troops with a Card

Below is something that Xerox is doing.
If you go to this web site, you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. The cards were designed by school children.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! This is a great site. Please send a card. It is FREE and it only takes a minute of your time.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to know we are behind them.

WOW...Who knew?

If my children are reading this, stop now or you will not have a surprise CHRISTmas morning.

Several months ago I bought a Wii from Gamestop.com. I did not buy the insurance, because I did not know about it or that I needed it. After talking to several people who STRONGLY recommended it I tried to get the Game Stop at our "mall" to insure it. They would not. So I decided the best thing to do was buy another one and sell the "old" on on ebay. So I waited at 5AM with every other cold, money savings nut to buy another one.

WHAT A RUSH ebay was!
I have never sold anything on ebay before. I did a three day listing, took my picture (because I could with my great digital camera) and thought I listed it. Yesterday I went to check on it and could not find it. I have never been so mad at myself. How do you loose a listing on ebay? (okay maybe I was this mad at myself when I left the Reba concert ticket in Statesboro and drove all the way to Atlanta for the concert without them... Another Drama Mama moment).
I finally found it in Accessories. What was I thinking? I revised it and then it started coming up with all of the ten thousand others. I listed it for $250, I really wanted $275 back so I could make up the $25 I spent on shipping on the first one. Well Lawsey-Mercie, who knew it would bring $441.00 plus $25 shipping!!!!!!!!!! I have never felt such a rush.

My long-legged friend was on the phone with me during the last 10 minutes and thought I was going to have a heart attack. I have never in all my life felt so sick to my stomach. Now I have made $166 profit to go towards the $160 worth of games and accessories I have bought! God is good...all the time...

The Cousins

Thanksgiving was so much fun! I had not seen some of my Dad's side of the family in years! It was less than a 24 hour trip, but well worth it! I want to share a couple of pictures of my precious family!




Now of course I have to show you the food. Some of you think I am speaking another language when I mention these items. You have Tableau, Kebe, Grape Leaves and Green Beans that I found out the secret ingredient - cinnamon. You are probably not impressed, but oh how I loved it! We did have ham and pineapple casserole and sweet potatoes (for the "white-folks") ;)

If you could not tell we are part Lebanese. All of OUR children are fair skin compared to the older cousins.
My children do tan well, just not as dark as the 2nd generation cousins. I promise I will not let that much time pass again before I see them!
They are all so much fun! I hope your thanksgiving was as blessed as mine was!

Organizing One Room At A Time

Clean Up Clean Up, Everybody Do your Part... If you unfortunately remember the Barney Banjo, you probably remember that song!

Oh my their rooms were a wreck. No I did not take a BEFORE picture and not even sure I would have posted one. It was that bad. My girls are PACK RATS! Give them a pack of paper, scissors and some tape and they will flat go to town. I have never in all my life. I know my room growing up NEVER looked like that because I was 15 before I was allowed to have my own scissors. And I know Rose would have never given us scotch tape to play with.


Anyways, I made my son mad because I complained so much about the clutter and junk in his room. Everything I handed him and said "put it somewhere or I am going to throw it away" ended up on his top bunk that use to be reserved for only Lego's. He busted out crying when I said "okay, lets now clean the top bunk." I am so mean...

The girls have made toys, food, signs, you name it out of paper and taped it around their room. I know technically this is my fault because I allow crafts into their room but OMG, there are limits for everything. Every time they slowed up I got louder and more demanding. I know I am mean, but "there is no way Santa is bringing another item into this house with it the way it looks." Okay, so you can hear me saying that out loud. I know they sure did...the entire time we were cleaning up.
Here are a few AFTER pictures. I know you are probably thinking AFTER pictures, yes there is still clutter and junk, but after two bags busting at the seams I had to stop. Even I felt guilty.
Check out the girls closet. Every animal except the Webkins must stay in there or I am throwing them out. (I will not really throw them out, I always have someone I can donate to). By the way, Daddy, they want you to build steps for the bookcases so they can make bunk beds out of them for their Webkin's. Good Luck with that project ;)

Home Already

I browsed, I shopped, and I am home! It is 8 am and Husband is off to work. I was out the door at 5 AM. Of course we hit WalMart (highlight of this small town) and then off to the "mall." I use the term Mall LOOSELY! We have a Game Stop, Bath and Body Works and Belks, Goody's and Jacque Pen-ney's!
I obviously cannot post my finds or there would be no surprise. But I will tell you I got $1.50 six inch poinsettias at Home Depot! That was a deal! I am also pleased to say this was not the year of "one-for-you, one-for-me" either! Husband is going to get a few toys and my son will be happy about his Birthday present! That's all I can say.
We normally spend $100 on each child for individual gifts. Either all in one pop or it could be 8 Webkins. Then we buy a big group present. Fortunately I have stuck with this budget since the beginning and it seems to work for us. I do not get out of control and they are all pleased. This year will be a little more fun because $100 goes a lot further when you are spending EBC bucks and finding great deals! My family is going to have the best stuffed stockings this year. I really have some good finds for my sister and my mother!! :)
So what is on your list? Anything good we need to know about?

Warning: CVS ECB talk...

Do not read this if you are fed up with me and my coupons! I called my Mom at 9:45 to share my joy from all the money I was saving and she thought I was drunk. Now if you know me, you know I do not drink and have not for over 12 years. I was over joyous over my SAVINGS! Yes, I am going to post about it and YES I do have a picture of ALL my rewards and ECB's! Who would not want free chocolate and Diet coke???

Before I forget, here is the coupon for 10 free pictures when you buy 20 pictures at Rite Aid.

Here is the CVS coupon for the $5 off $30.

Crystal has done a wonderful job explaining how to get the best deals from CVS and offers coupons to print out.

All of these items are on sale for three days. They are all on the back page of the flyer. I spent $1.08 Out of Pocket (oop), got all of what you see and $47.00 of ECB to use on my next trip.

Okay...At CVS I spent about $10 to get started. I bought items that gave me ECB's back. Then on my next trip I would get items I needed as well as some of the new EBC deals and "replace" the ones I spent.


EXAMPLE:
I bOUGHT
$2.49 ECB's wyb Tylenol 10ct. - LIMIT ONE per card
$1.49 ECB's wyb Enviga Sparkling Green Tea single 12oz. can - LIMIT ONE per card
$5.99 ECB's wyb Garnier 100% Color - LIMIT TWO per card


1 Tylenol, 1 Tea and two hair colors for $16. If I have any coupons (which I do - $1 off Tylenol and $2 off Hair (x2) for a coupon total of $5 off) So now I am paying about $12 cash including tax. I will get back on the bottom of my receipt a $2.49; $1.49; $5.99 and $5.99 ECB that I can then use next time.
This is probably more confusing!?@!@?!?@?

My first week I did spend cash, but ever since then I earned the ECB's back and I am able to shop for "free" I have some great stocking stuffer this year. My nephew is getting some Motrin and Tylenol drops that I know he will be thrilled with (fortunately he is only 3 months old, I know his mama will appreciate it). As I said "Just trying to be a blessing!!" HAHA

Get Your Shoppin' Shoes on...

Black Friday - The BIGGEST Shopping Day Of The YEAR!
I can hardly wait! To check out all of the latest sale Ads - check this out!

Wow, I see stuff at Staples and Target. I am upset I do not see much at WalMart. Maybe my children are getting out of the small toys...Now they want North Face Jackets and Nike Shock Tennis shoes.!$!$

Two of my friends always call on Thanksgiving night to see if we have a route mapped out! We leave in the wee hours but I am always home by 8AM so Husband can go to work. It is always crazy, but always fun!

Of course I will be at CVS getting all those freebies!
I sat down and pulled out all of my coupons for the following "freebies" after EBC bucks:

NANCY here is your de-coder: ECB is "Extra Care Buck" and wyb is "When You Buy" Just trying to be a blessing!!!
$6.99 ECB's wyb Bic Soleil Razor (1 razor, 2 cartridges & 1 shower holder) - LIMIT ONE per card
$5.69 ECB's wyb Johnson's Softlotion 11-14oz. - LIMIT ONE per card
$4.00 ECB's wyb Advil PM Caplet 20ct. or Liqui-gel 16ct. - LIMIT ONE per card
$3.99 ECB's wyb Softsoap Nutra-Oil Moisturising Body Wash 12oz. - LIMIT ONE per card
$3.79 ECB's wyb Excedrin 24ct. asstd. types- LIMIT ONE per card
$2.99 ECb's wyb Hershey's Chocolate : Extra Dark 5.1-5.2oz., antioxidant or whole bean 4.2oz. pouch - LIMIT ONE per card
$2.49 ECB's wyb Tylenol 10ct. - LIMIT ONE per card
$1.49 ECB's wyb Enviga Sparkling Green Tea single 12oz. can - LIMIT ONE per card
$5.99 ECB's wyb Garnier 100% Color - LIMIT TWO per card
$2.99 ECB's wyb Colgate Toothpaste (Total Advanced Clean plus Whitening 4.2oz. or Maxfresh Burst 4oz.) - LIMIT THREE per card
$1.79 ECB's wyb CVS/pharmacy Zipper Seal Food Storage Bags (storage 20ct. or 1-gal. Freezer 15ct.) - LIMIT THREE per card

With all of my coupons and EBC bucks I estimate I will spend $8.00 cash for all of that! No I do not color my hair, but I do use (or will if I have it) everything else. I plan on donating the hair color! If you send me your hair color number I'll donate it to you!

Happy sales hunting!
