Happy Belated Birthday Sweet Sparrow

[walkonby]

well I am not going back now. I was clearing the receipts out of my purse from yesterday and discovered the gal at FreshCo charged me for only 1 single can of .99 diced tomatoes when I clearly said I have 12 of these, all the same kind. She scanned all the sauces in just fine but I guess she forgot to hit " times 12 " on the tomatoes.
This is what happens when I pay using the balance on a GC, I never even checked my receipt. ( face palm )

had the car this morning popped over to Canadian tire -to get special lightbulbs that are on for 1.00 for 2 used my Canadian tire money up 1.13
-popped into Walmart to get a few items used 3 mccormicks gravy cpns =6 packets and got 3.00 overage I used to buy my grandson a star wars t-shirt 3.00 plus I bought pears and a family box of cherrios 3.97
-popped into winners got a lovely candle for 3.00 (blue denium it states) and a foot file 3.00
then over to a new shoppers that just opened up a few weeks back -I spent 30.72 before taxes but didn't get my 7,500 points so I called and he went over my bill on the phone with me after asking a lot of security questions and awarded me my 7,500 points ,I am still waiting on some points for 4 days ago but it was a smaller amount and they are backlogged he told me -so don't keep resubmitting the same inquiry over and over (just a tip )

-supper tonight pancakes ,something different for a change

Dinner last night was chicken breasts (cooked in slowcooker over night so they were already in the fridge ready. With rice and fresh asparagus.

Tonight- Taking a drive to pick up free gift from Casino (hoping its the slow cooker tonight if not it's the pasta pot set with large stock pot or the spice set) Will have free dinner there with coupon and use $80 free Slot play to maybe make a few bucks . Then stop at Costco on way home. Beat the storm we are expecting to start tomorrow and last thru the weekend (Freezing rain sucks!!!!)

Laundry is on the go. Have some to put away tonight and will put another load on. I swear boys are worse then girls!!

@Natalka and @SassyAshley : Thank you for the birthday wishes!

I have two girls. The baby eats with her hands and is learning how to eat everything. Her favourites are staining fruits like strawberries and blueberries. Cloth diapers on weekends.

The older one, I need to launder her bedsheets Every. Single. Night. Diapers cannot contain her. She also spills paints, lunch, etc. on her clothes. Some of it is completely accidental and she'll sit on something someone has left on a chair at school. As a busy four year old, she's always crawling all over any floor outside, or inside. She's non discriminatory. The other day, she decided to dig a hole in the mud with her winter mittens. Mud is also all over her knees, etc.

There are so many stains that have to be pre-treated. The older one has very sensitive skin, so I always have to pre-soak and hand scrub.

Your boys can't be worse than my girls!

That is my youngest lol. He is much better now but we use to joke that when he was in a highchair that we wish we could put him on the back deck for every meal lol He was such a messy kid!
A few years ago his teacher called me from school and asked if I could bring him a change of clothes-including shoes and coat because he "fell in a mud puddle" Yup- that would be my kid
