Where did I find that deal?

~~~ I read and read and read as much as I can on the deals that I 'do' and about 90% of them I find on the internet. Within the last week another 'coupon board' that I was on went sour. It's still there, but it was sold and turned into a bunch of corporate bull...SO now, I have a new home w/a ton of the same wonderful deal seeking woman~~~

If I can get free toothpaste and free body wash and dirt cheap frozen pizza, so can you :)

Make some money...

I found a site on a coupon board of mine, A Full Cup, where you click on ads and earn money. And yes, it's that easy!! Here, this will help, I totally snagged this description below from my sister's blog :) She's good! (I did not use the 'form' letter, just her description)

The form letter they gave to me to send out is below but I think it’s confusing and sounds fake so I’m going to explain it the best I can. It’s a site where companies pay you to view their websites. All you do is fill out a few surveys about your likes/dislikes/hobbies/interests, etc. and then they send you links. The links are actually fun companies and I've almost made a few purchases as I'm clicking away. When you click on the links, you get paid. One click=$. It’s usually about .20 per link but I’m already up to $5 and I’ve only been on today. My sister has been doing it for a few days and got paid today through Paypal and a few of her online friends have also gotten paid several times so it’s legit. I actually Googled the company and it’s gotten good write-ups on eHow and this blog and this blog and here. I could go on but you get my drift; I wouldn’t steer you wrong. It’s SUPER easy. I made my first $3 while checking my email. It’s all legit, trust me I read EVERY SINGLE word in the Terms of Agreement . Did I mention how easy it is??? You won't get rich but you'll get some change for your pocket---oh no--that reminds me, I have to go play Tooth Fairy!

Goodness, I hope my niece got some money from the Tooth Fairy!!

I received $4.02 yesterday in my Paypal account. Do you know how much a couponer can get for $4.02? I'll prove it to you tomorrow after I shop the Kmart Double Days :o)

Anyway, go here and sign up, you really don't have anything to loose.

It reminds me of Pap...

Jake made this in school and gave it to me for a 'last day of work' gift....As he was handing it to me he said "It reminds me of Pap" ... Any guess of why?


That's a cigar hanging out of the Frog's mouth. *hehehehehehe*

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

Growing up I can remember playing 'make believe' with my cat, Mosey. I used to put him in a stroller and push him around. I used to 'make' him play board games or Uno with me (oh, cats ARE so smart!) ... I would even play school with him.

I know my dad, mom and sister can attest to all of that.

Here is my apple and HER cat (playing 'kitchen'):
Check it out, he even has a cup of wine!

"I'm not moving until I graduate Elementary School!"

That is what I was told BEFORE I was able to get out of my van...I JUST pulled into the driveway and Jake is at my door telling me how he isn't moving, it's not fair, he can stay with Nanny & Papa, or Didi & Pap ... I let him ramble for a bit, but I knew totally why he was saying this:

I asked "Why, did Ashley say yes?"

"Yes, she said she wrote about me in her journal on the first day of school and we played basketball together and I think she really really likes me...I know she likes me."

Jake's got his first REAL girlfriend.

WATCH OUT for flying hairbands!!

Hayden, the cat, LOVES hairbands...he pulls them out of my basket (that is up on a shelf in the bathroom), he pulls them off my & Juliana's dressers ... it is so funny. I've even been hit in the head w/them while sleeping...seriously, ask Frank!

It is nothing to walk through our house and find them on the floor...

Another chapter comes to an end....

BUT a new chapter begins!

After 7 years and 2 months at my current job, it has come time to let go. I gave my 2 weeks notice today, not only for my current position, but my career as well. I've been a travel agent for 15 years. I am burnt out. I can not continue the ups and the downs in this job anymore.

Another leading factor of my resignation is ... I can be a stay-at-home mom for a few months, if not longer. Why? Well, Frank has accepted a position in Colorado, in fact, I've been husbandless for just about 2 months (with short visits from the husband). I can only say "It's been hell."

So, in 2 weeks, I will enter my new job as being a stay-at-home mom. I will get our house ready to sell and get us ready for our new chapter.

Colorado, WATCH OUT, cause we are coming!

A continuation of the February 4 post...

a 9 year old is NOT helpful with strep throat. 2 boys, 2 days apart, 2 strep throats...

My 1st Goal Met!

Around Christmas time, Old Navy put their jeans on sale for $12.00 each....I ordered myself 2 pairs, I know I know, what was I thinking? Ordering jeans online.

Well, they came and guess what? No, see, you thought that both pair didn't fit me, but 1 pair did fit me...the other pair, well, didn't.

So, my first goal in my weightloss was to fit in the other pair...I did NOT take them back. I loved the way the buckle shut...Anyway, guess what???????????

THEY FIT THEY FIT THEY FIT!!! Not only do they fit, they fit GOOD!

Wanna see my fat ass? LOOK...

Where has the time gone?

My time has gone to being a husbandless mom for just about 2 weeks ... ugh doesn't even describe it! Saturday Frank will be home for a week, and let me tell you, he is IN CHARGE for that full week! I certainly hope that I get sent to my room and that the kids at least shower 1 time in that week! ;)

Let's see...I've accomplished and have learned a few things that has only made me more of a mom, yes, you can be more of a mom...
1. All fingers have remained attached to the hands! Big step here!
2. Teeth pulling isn't really that bad! I pulled a tooth for the first time this past Sunday and I didn't even gag! Go me!
3. Movies with 3 kids isn't really that bad ... popcorn can keep a 3 year old entertained for about 10 minutes at a time...But what really worked, was the 'movable' seats...you know, bouncy bouncy!
4. When you lose all sanity, go to Facebook or a 'mommy board' ... you might be able to find some sane people there! If no sane people exist, at least you can feel better by reading about their insane days.
5. Strep throat hurts! I know this, as I had it a lot growing up. So, don't wait if your 7 year old tells you his throat hurts and he has a fever...take him in!
6. Houses stay cleaner w/out another adult in them. You average about 2 loads of laundry less a week! Less is good!
7. If you can only use 1 coupon per person, per day, you can let your 7, 9 and 3 year old go through the line too!
8. Cats are great companions ... even when they smell up the house.
9. One MUST shovel the snow BEFORE the freezing rain hits. If not, you continue to slid down your porch steps & slide in the driveway each morning. This is a tough task with a 3 year old hanging onto you (for fear of falling) and if you are late for the bus.
10. Mom's never get to shower or use the bathroom by themselves when dad isn't around to hold them hostage.

I'll let you ponder on these 10 for a bit.

Upcoming post: How useful a 9 year old is...
