Great Coupons

11:26 AM Edit This 0 Comments »
If you are still shopping for the Holidays, don't forget to use coupons to do it. You can really save a lot of money this time of years checking out sales flyers and also make sure to check for things like good bath & body works coupons. I wish that my husband would check them out. I would love some new body spray and such. It makes me feel so clean! I love the seasonal smells as well.

Redoing my kitchen

9:54 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
I have decided that when we are able to redo my kitchen, I want to have actual restaurant equipment. I want the really nice big stove that also has a grill built in among other things. The way that our kids and family just tear up everything that we bring into the house, I think that this is the only way that we are going to be able to keep any sort of sanity and working appliances until the kids are grown and out of the house.

Foot doctor?

My husband has been complaining about his feet hurting for a long time...like years! He said that he is not the only one either. A lot of the guys at his work are complaining about it too since they have to wear combat boots and walk on the hard cement all day and night. I told him he should get one of those Podiatrist Jobs. Just from the guys where he works alone he would have job security, which is more than he can say about his job right now.

Need a boost?

I know a lot of people that live out in the country and have cell phones. They are not able to get very good signals in their house. They have to walk outside to talk on the phone. I bet they wish they had a cell signal booster to use. I don't need one at my home, as we are lucky enough to have a good signal already. But most people out here are not as lucky.

Can't wait for the sales

This is my favorite time of the year. I hope that this year I will be off of work so that I can have fun shopping Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I also hope that I get enough work in there where I can actually buy stuff on those days too. I am really looking forward to it this year. Last year I felt so depressed, stressed and plane worn out from school. This year WILL be different.

How can I not find all of the boys Jackets?

Okay, I will admit that I am not the most organized person in the world. But how can you misplace 2 nice jackets from last year? I had one that was too big for my oldest last year but he wore it anyway and he was going to wear it again this year. Can't find the thing! And then I had a nice camo one for my middle son last year, my youngest would be the perfect size for it this year... Can I find it? Heck no!
Guess I will be looking for 2 new jackets this week.

Camp outs

10:12 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
Well, since my son is now in Cub Scouts and my second son is soon to be next year, I have been thinking about all of the camp outs we are going to be going on. They have to go and participate so that they can get badges and belt loops. I am getting pretty excited about it personally.
I am really not into the tent camping though, my hips and body just won't take it. My husband's probably won't either since he can't bend very well. I am thinking about a small RV, but who had the money for the rv repairs? I might have to check into the insurance for that...

Ahhh well at last

Finally got the boys all to sleep. And the kicker is they are all in their own bed, not mine! I am so happy, and my hubby will be when he gets home too.

We had an eventful afternoon, my oldest had Cub Scouts tonight so we had to walk down to where they have it and I of course had to take the other 2 smaller boys with us. It is getting cold here, well into the 40s which for us is pretty cold. But, all three of my boys love getting to go and interact with other kids.

My son was the only one of his entire Wolf Pack that was ready to check off on his 8 things for his badge that he is getting next week. I think it went to his head:)

Everything went great until they all had Capri suns and went crazy from the sugar:/

Your home office

11:52 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
There is so much that you have to get when you set up a new home office. Some of the stuff you just don't think about when you are new to having a home office. But there is a computer, fax machine, phone, scanner software if you need it and also any programs for your computer that you will need such as paint and such if you are going to be doing any sort of art work on your computer. Our home office is about complete, the only thing that is really missing is the customized L shaped desk that my husband wants to design once we have the disposable income to do so.

Cub scouts

11:50 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
So my 7 year old is just starting Cub Scouts. At this point, I am wondering where I am going to come up with the money for the uniform not to mention all of the trips that they are going to go on. I know they are going to sell popcorn to try to help with the costs, but how much popcorn do you have to sell to go camping, the zoo etc. Not to mention, when he goes to all of these, the whole family is going to go along as I want to help out and I have no place to put my younger sons. So even more expensive lol

BMX

Well, my hubby is hoping that I start making lots of money as a nurse soon. He wants to get all 3 boys into BMX racing. He has been watching youtube with them and watching some of the BMX grates. The boys love it. I am sure that my husband and the boys are both fantasizing about download a youtube video some day when the boys start their racing careers. I guess I am going to be the team nurse and sponsor lol

Can't say I am sorry

Well, my husband is a smoker and has been one for over 20 years. He fluctuates from 1 to 2 packs a day which really becomes expensive. You figure $6 for a pack times 30 days, you get the picture right? Anyway, his work is becoming non tobacco use on October 1st, I am hoping that he will really cut back on his smoking if not quit all together. It is an expensive, nasty habit and I don't want my kids doing it or getting a disease from it either. ick.

Can't wait

Well, have been doing a little bit of nursing work and hopefully I will get a schedule tomorrow so that I know how much I can expect to make and I don't have to keep working PRN. I HATE WORKING PRN and also hate not knowing how much money I can count on, I do however love the daily paychecks and they are good ones as long as I have work.

I have my eyes set on some things I want to do with our house. I want to do a back patio to relax with my family. I would love to have an outdoor fireplaces to sit at when it is nice and cold out too. I think my son's would like to roast marshmallows out there on one and I would love a home made samore too:)

Happy to be BBBBBAck

Well, I am finally back. I have a new keyboard so that I can actually type what I want without having to copy and paste every 15 seconds:)

Job change

7:23 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
Well, now that I will be working once the agency gives me a call, I have asked my husband to make sure that he has upped my term life insurance that he has on me. I will be working in a correctional facility and I know that things do not usually happen too bad there, but I don't want to be caught off guard one day and then my family have to figure out what to do next financially. I think that it is something that everyone should have a pretty good amount of, just in case.

Still trying

7:20 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
I am still tying to get my boys to clean their room. It has turned into a them against my husband and I. It is pretty sad that it comes down to spanking and putting toys in garbage bags to try to get the point across. Now when I tell you that their room is bad, I mean it is so bad, I know at least one of them is going to end up on the show hoarders one day. My oldest is the worst. Every time I try to get him to clean anything, he starts saying how tired he is even when he was just bouncing off the walls:/ Ugh lol. If I have to pick it up, it is garbage and I won't have to do it the next time.

Almost hobby time

7:16 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
Well, I almost have enough time to start a hobby again. I can't wait. I still have some stuff from when I was going to make candles. Little did I know how long it took to make them and that I was allergic. I want to do something small and non allergen causing like croteting or maybe order something cute from Beadaholique beads. I am not sure yet. I haven't even had the time to think through exactly what I want to do yet, but just having the option there, really makes me happy.

It sure is hot

All I have felt like doing today is sleeping. It was nice and cool this morning and then the heat rolled in. It keeps feeling like it is going to rain, and then it doesn't. Really weird weather we are having lately.
