here's hoping for baby vibes today Shaw..
Jeze really hoping your foot decides to smarten up and heal faster.

today was an early morning. hubby slept in so I jumped out of bed to help him get out the door on time. so opened my gift while waiting for him to put his shoes on.. i received the most delicate beautiful lacy grey scarf.. has the 'waves' of the new ones today its just more delicate. its so pretty. and two little snack sized kit kats.. those are going to be for lunch's dessert..

busy morning here.. trying to wake up and making 4 stockings for us all from scratch as well as supposed to be making banana bread.. it has to get done. time's ticking. one stocking is done just need to personalize. only took an hour to figure it out.. but now that i know what im doing really hoping the rest are easier and get done faster. will post pics when im done.

question...is $2.47 a good price for 1.47L of Sunlight laundry detergent? I have a lot of the 1.50 coupons anf Freshco has it on for $3.97. eas thinking of trying my hand at price matching at Wal-Mart today. thoughts? can I do better?

We finished our shopping, my totals were calculated to a tee and I "only" used 5 or 6 coupons, so my DH was thinking that he was home free... and then oh-oh, wait for it...

I'm trying to close my bulging Glowgirl coupon bag and the handle slips and .... half of my coupon bag got emptied on the floor in front of the cash... yeh, crowd of people waiting, my DH is looking for a nearest Exit and I'm trying to contain myself from screaming at people "make some room, don't step on my coupons". I crawled on the floor and picked up all my coupons with as much dignity as I could master, needless to say that I felt like a feature attraction of the Sunday shopping crowd.

Well, I did get 18,500 Bonus points and I don't think my DH is coming shopping with me anytime soon

it was the kids' turn and they each got a pile of stuff! DD: princess colouring book, a tonne of princess stickers and some presharpened(how cool is that!?) fancy pencil crayons(one was gold even!) DS: disney colouring book, cars markers(he's a "big boy" now and doesn't like using crayons booooo so the markers he is in LOVE with), and a whole sheet of cars stickers that he put immediately on a truck and his art chair - daddy said it was ok mommy did not - we had a group discussion that went something like this: Me "stickers. only. go. on. paper." Daddy: "it's ok" Me: "kids? where is the only place that stickers go?" Kids: "paper" Daddy: rolling eyes. Me: hands daddy truck and chair to peel off the stickers, son hands daddy a piece of paper. :D
Thank you for all of the goodies PammieD!

lmao - and here I was worried it would be the markers that caused the problems! glad they prompted a family discussion though lol.

I would say yes but I am not 100% sure as I stack Sunlight for free at LD

Wish we had a Freshco here so I could price match and use all my coupons up before they expired :)

Today is a better day. The issue at work from yesterday decided to magically resolve itself this morning! (Which makes me happy, but frustrates me a little since I tried to fix the problem for HOURS yesterday and ended up going home late, hungry, and exhausted in tears because I couldn't fix it...LOL) Ah well...

Day 18, Pumpkin gave me matching "peppermint candy" salt & pepper shakers that go with yesterday's gift! LOL which is also funny since a few days ago, we were talking about cute and different S&P shakers! :P Thanks Pumpkin!

Can't help but feel super sad that there's only a week left...booooo :(

I. MADE. THIS. !!!!!!! I am hoping to be able to reproduce this fingers crossed.....mini buddy do you like bracelets? do you like pink? blue? silver?
