Morning LTUC!!

It's so quiet here today, it's amazing how empty the house feels when the kids are gone! It was hard to say goodbye to DS #1 on Friday, I loved having him home!!! He's on some new meds and I actually like how they're working- it was a lot more peaceful when he was here than it has been in the past! Hopefully we're on the right path this time, keeping my fingers crossed!!!

No snow yet! I'm super hopefully we can hide from it. lol. Even if it does snow, hopefully it melts just as quick!

Happy to back into routine. DD is at school and DS and I ran to the grocery store (empty tear pads everywhere) and just got home.

Hi Sheets...
I know we always want them at school and when they are there we realize how much we miss them.
Isn't that being a Mama for you...lol.
Glad the new meds are working...hopefully you're on the right track.

I know we were out yesterday trying to find that New Peanut Butter Cheerios (which we never did) and All the tearpads we saw were empty except for 1 ...(a yogurt...I guess no one likes that one, there was about 5 left) I took 3. Left 2 couldn't take all 5.

I was so bummed when I saw the big nutrigrain display with 2 tear pads attached but empty.

morning every-one.

I'm really hoping the whole coupon craze dies down. It's become way to hard to coupon. My usage has dropped so drastically in the last year. I can never find coups for things I use and cashiers are so strict because of fraud. It's sad.

morning everyone. i'm so not in a good mood. my front load washing mashine has been making this god awful noise since friday, dh thought it was a bearing. we called a few repair men and 1 just got back to me this morning...it'll cost $600 for the part, $180 in labour PLUS i have to bring in to them. apparently LG washers are not easy to get parts and a real mess to fix. dangit!!

That....nearly as expensive as buying a new one which I guess is the idea.

I can't believe there are people who actually LIKE winter!!!! I hate everything about it LOL

I prefer winter in Canada to back in UK. It may be a lot colder but a lot of the time, it's very bright and sunny which makes up for it.

Gah, things like that really annoy me. Our society has become a "throw away" society. We throw things out, rather than fix them because its usually cheaper to get a new one. So sad. And it's all big business wanting to make more money.

We had the same experience with our old TV. It was much cheaper to buy new rather than fix the one part that was broken (and risk something else breaking).

My SIL is from Winnipeg and loves winter. She's bummed if there's little snow. Her and BIL do a lot of winter activities (snow mobiles, etc).

I can't stand winter! I literally can't think of anything I like about cold or snow. lol

It's not just the snow and cold that I hate it's the way I feel... being depressed for 6 months out of the year is no fun at all

Wine is the solution.

Im in the same boat too.

I need a solution because I cannot handle another year of this.

We're working crazy hard this year to pay off debt so that we can save for a trip next winter. I'm hopeful it happens. This winter was horrible.
