Poor little guy

Well, my littlest guy is still not feeling that well, however he is not running fever or anything so I couldn’t keep him home from school. I let his teacher know that he wasn’t feeling well and to call me if he looked like he was getting worse. He didn’t want to stay home and I hope he feels better after he has been there a while. I really hate to send him to school when he is like that, but there is no help for it. If he doesn’t go he will lose his spot in the program. Poor little guy…

Shopping

I love to shop. Even more I love to shop for stuff for my house. Today I bought a few things for my bedroom. A whole new bedding set complete with the bed skirts. I love the way the skirts hang on the bottom of the bed. I took inventory of the beds in the house and bought new mattress covers for all the beds in the house as well. Mine didn’t really need a new one, but the children have torn theirs up, so I had to get new ones. Don’t ask me how they manage to tear them up, because I am clueless.

I have a set of satin bed sheet for my bed, but not enough satin pillow cases for the set, so I bought a few more of those as well. I bought them in different colors to contrast the color I already have. The ones I have are a maroon color, and the ones I bought are dark blue like the comforter as a contrast. I really like the effect it makes. I am looking for some material to stretch on the walls that matches the comforter set. When I have that my room will have a whole new look to it.

Aunt Phyllis

Well my Aunt Phyllis is looking for Toronto contractors to help do some remodeling on her house. Since she and my Uncle split up a few years ago, the house has been steadily falling apart on her without a man to help with repairs. The Toronto kitchen contractors can remodel her kitchen entirely instead of having a handy man do repairs. I think it is a great idea so that she doesn’t have to worry about constantly having someone come fix stuff for her.

She has also had a few problems in her bathroom, so has decided to redo it as well. The Toronto bathroom contractors she found have given her a good price on it, with a whole new bathroom as well. Her new bathroom will include a shower stall instead of a tub, with rails so she doesn’t fall. Since she is getting older she is worried that one day she might have this problem, so is preparing ahead of time. I feel much better with this knowledge, as the family has worried about her being up there with no other family around. She has friends, but it is not the same. This is a very good thing.

Give me a good reason

When people act stupid and then expect you to just forget about it, well that annoys the hell out of me. An apology is in order when you act like a child. You know you were wrong, so be a good friend and say your sorry, before you expect forgiveness. I apologize when I mess up. Why can’t you? I love you, so please grow up and act like a mature, responsible adult. Thank you so much.

Olympics

I want to see the Olympics so badly. This year they are being held in London, England. Have you ever wanted to visit London? I know I have always wanted to go there. London apartments are the best way to visit. I don’t really like to go to hotels as they are too noisy. The comfort of an apartment is much better then anything else. I can cook my own food and save money, so I can buy more souvenirs to bring home for the family.

Do you want to visit London for the 2012 Olympics? I am seriously thinking about going. My mother called me last night to tell me about it and said she was interested in going but dad doesn’t want to. She suggested she and I rent a London apartments for the two of us and take a mother daughter trip. She said that my Uncle Mike goes there on frequent business trips and uses London apartments instead of a hotel as his stays are usually lengthy and he prefers his privacy. I am crossing my fingers that we can go on this trip together. The kids can spend the summer with their father, so I wont have to worry about that.

Home

Just got home from taking my youngest child to school at the Head Start program. The weather is really nasty out there, but at least it is not freezing as well. It is just very rainy outside. He was not happy about the rain because that means he can’t play on the playground today at school. He loves that playground and has so much fun at preschool. I am so happy that he is finally willing to go to school now. He used to scream when I had to put him in day care, but not anymore. What a good boy he is.

Coupon clubs

All of my friends are now doing coupon clubs. They trade coupons, clip coupons and print out coupons constantly. They save thousands of dollars a year doing it and manage to get so much stuff for free its unbelievable. I have decided that it is time for me to do so as well. Yesterday, my friend Tracy got ten tubes of toothpaste for free, as well as a lot of other stuff, and only spent about seventeen dollars. That is a big deal. She told me that I can find eastbay.com coupons here on this site.

Now I am joining the different coupon clubs she has recommended to me like the find eastbay.com deals here one she sent me. I will recommend all the sites she gives me to anyone who wants to save money. In today’s economy we have to save wherever we can, because inflation has gotten so high. It is very difficult for some people to make ends meet with the prices as they are. A gallon of milk costs more then a gallon of gas half the time and gas is so expensive now too. I have friends who have given up the second vehicle for their family because of it.

I can only hope that anyone who want to find eastbay.com deals here does so and make their lives a little easier because of it. It is already making a difference in my life even though I have just started to do this. My friends call it extreme couponing. I think that is a great name for it myself. After all, when u only spend fifty dollars for two hundred dollars worth of stuff that is extreme. Give it a try and see how well you do. It certainly cannot hurt to try it.

I have been able to buy a lot of stuff I normally cannot afford. I no longer have to shop at the discount stores all the time, because I can go to the regular grocery stores and spend less money by using coupons and the sales they are having together. It is amazing how easy this is. My kids are much happier now as well, since I can get them all the snacks they want as well as stock up on other products we use. All you need is a little time and effort to be successful in this endeavor. Have a great day.

A friend sent this to me, because she knows I am always at my computer. It is too funny. You always have to remember to have a sense of humor. Without it life is just boring.

New web based business

I am starting a new web based business. First I am getting all of my ducks in a row, so I know exactly where I am going and what I am doing. Then I will begin to build this business. In my efforts to find an advertising company to help with my own ad campaign, I have found a great many to choose from. I am going to go with a pay per click agency. This will help generate traffic to my new site and spread the word, so to speak about what I am selling.

I can also become a publisher with the ad company and generate more money for myself and my friends who do the same thing I do. It is an amazing opportunity for me and I am very excited to begin such an endeavor. I have four other friends who are considering their own web based businesses too. Three of them are stay at home moms with lots of time on their hands to dedicate to it. It is also a plus when you have kids to be able to make more money. Kids are expensive to raise, and we like to give them as much as we can.

Going to the bar

I need a little me time. I asked my neighbor to sit with the kids so I can have a few hours just to myself. I love my kids, but every now and then I need to be in a place where kids are not allowed with only adults to talk to. A little music and a few drinks will help relax me a lot. I really want to play a few games of pool as well. I think I will invite my father to join me since he loves to play pool. =)
