I'm heading out early tomorrow with both kids to hit up some hopefully 90% off halloween clearance. I decided that next year we're going to have a princess and pirate birthday party for the kids. Need to stock up on some stuff with pirate potential.
night night
Then we finally got the internet at home and I slowely started learning how to get better and better at it.
Your lucky to have figured it out so young. We paid for every single diaper with our 13 yr and 7 yr DDs, they both wore Luvs most of the time. That is why when that very first Pampers GC deal happened at Target I turned into a crazy, nesting, shopping, maniac. I was a few months from my due date and I would make Target circuts, I stockpiled $5k of diapers and wipes! Oh and made like $500 in GC! It was insane! There were MQs for both the diapers and wipes, TQs for $5 off if you bought diapers and wipes and a TQ for a $5 GC when you bought diapers and wipes, I think after GC I was making $3 or $4 per set. I was only getting 4 sets of each at first then I upped it to 8 each shopping trip. My lil man is almost 2 and I have not 'paid' for a single diaper or wipe.
All this pizza talk, we were cleaning house and rearranging furniture so I bought pizza. 5off15 for $5 off a $15 or more Papa John's online order. Two $10 pizza, 2 cinnapies and 2 sodas for $22 out the door. Not free but not bad.
I saw those signs last night and now the strict store near me now has the GSTL come over to scan ALL coupons.
How long we've been married- 18 years, 6 weeks.
My sisters is going up $180 per paycheck. She is pissed.
Oh, I so miss free pizza Friday. In light of the current TGIF deal, I'm instituting free fajita Friday at my house... effective immediate
9 years and a few months.
Soooo... I had a VERY interesting run this afternoon. Saw a girl who I had tested out before and she passed round 1 of potential Jedi training. So I was ready to try round 2 with her. (I usually do 2 trials before attempting STFC). So I gather up the usually suspects and go to check out and she's gone. But I see a younger guy who I never seen before so I think "what the heck, let's give him a spin". While I'm checking out I notice that taped to EVERY register is this note:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To ensure every guest receives the full value for each coupon, we are introducing a temporary coupon redemption process effective immediately. We expect to have this systematically resolved within the next 10 days.
NEW! Temporary Coupon Redemption Process
1. Make eye contact with the guest, smile and give a sincere greeting.
2. Ask each guest at the beginning of the transaction 'Do you have any coupons today?'
3. Set the coupons aside until the end of the transaction
4. Scan all items
5. Process coupons one by one and check to ensure full value of each coupon was applied. If needed, adjust coupon amount by selecting
a) Discounts
b) Manufacturer coupon
c) Key in the remaining coupon amount Your immediate implementation of the above process will ensure we are providing a great guest experience.

So I start chatting with him about the current coupon problems and about how I've been filling out my surveys and putting on there about how ridiculous it is, blah blah blah. He scanned like a champ, manually put in an extra .50 when my Glade only deducted $2.50, k1d where needed, and when 1 of my b1g1s deducted $5 and the next Q only took off $3.50, he manually entered another $1.50. At the end of my tranny the LOD walks by he mentions that the register is running really slow (which it was) so she stopped for a second and saw the pile of coupons and asked if there were any problems, and he said just a few, but that he had fixed them. So I say... yes, he fixed them all, he was a really GREAT cashier. And at the same time they both say... well he/I should be, he's/I'm the STORE MANAGER!
Ok if I found out my "jedi" for the day was the store manager I would almost die... lol
Since I earned way beyond my expectations, I went and got myself a Bissell Pro Heat carpet cleaner. They are giving $15 gift cards this week, plus there's the manufacturer's rebate, so it ended up being a pretty sweet deal. Does anyone have this particular machine? I read the reviews online (after I bought it, of course and it seems like everyone loves it and it gets bad stains out. Just what I need!!
GS said new rule is if more than 10 q's a manager must be called over.
To do what I don't know.
Really bummed by T right now.
That stupid MFer that had made the comment to me earlier is parked right next to me and floored it - bashed into the MACH truck extra kid cart that HE had left right in front of his SUV and smashed it into the Target building, then it comes and rolls into my BRAND NEW VW!!! At this point I am shaking in fear, but decide to check out my car for any damage, there is none but the guy starts going, ''It is fine, SHUT UP KIDS, it's not even my cart, someone left it right in front of my car"
I'm all like (in my head) right asshole, I saw you in the store with it, then I realize he is most likely drunk but it is raining freezing cold rain drops at 48 degrees and I'm not wearing a coat and I am trembling in fear already -- I cant find my phone, I am worried for the 2 kids I have with me and the pen that is supposed to be in my purse ISN"T. He the pulls away - nicely out of the space - but then peels out around the corner to pull in front of T - where all the people get in and out of :
I know you can use *junkie
Percy - the dog - is doing pretty darn well. She *barely* limps now - and only after she gets overly rambunctious and jumps around a lot. Oh... our crazy neighbor is at it again. This time, she apparently called animal control because we didn't take the dog to the vet.
And I totally love popcorn on the stove. I don't like the taste of the bagged stuff. *shrug*
Ugh. I do need to do a *little* shopping today/tonight. We have some beef I can do something with for dinner, but lunch/dinner tomorrow is going to be annoyingly sparse.
I would say your family is spoiled!! You round up an amazing Christmas, wowzers! I sure hope they appreciate how hard you work to get that all together, at least your DH and the older ones. I know the little ones think they guy in the red suit deserves all the credit. For the inlaws I would go for "Spa" baskets, but that is what we can afford. You know, a nice set of clearanced T towells, glade candles & sprays, razors, shower gel, etc.
Congrats on the poker, I have never played
Oy... just got a call. DH's grandmother was taken back to the hospital about 2 hours ago. They aren't expecting her to make it.
Can this weekend be over yet?
Son's football game is at noon and hubby and I are going to dinner for our 10 yr anniversary .I am a little stressed because we are going someplace super nice and I don't have anything to wear. :mad : I would rather go someplace a little more casual and just dress up some jeans with a nice shirt/sweater, jewelry, and boots. He insists on going to this "ritzy" place. I have no time to clothes shop today. Hopefully this won't end up stressing me out.
I hope I can squeeze in a little shopping in between!
Umm..yes.
I so have to get a keurig. How can I be with the 'in crowd' if I can't mimick you all. Sigh..the difficulties in life.
Missing you guys. How is Ms. Jamie and her tooth?
Ank..how is bow wow?
Meesh..just hi
Rachael...hi and how are you feeling?
M2T..hi to you too!
justice..hi
And for all of you that I missed...sorry.
I was so sick yesterday. Fever, vomitting both oral and anal and just blah! Went to bed early last night and slept, slept, slept. Wanted to T today, but we shall see.
But, you know, I hate people cause I'm a meanie and all that
I was a very wild teen that was DRAMA, now I hate drama... and hate people looking at me now b4 I had to be the center of attention.. I was the true cheerleader LOL HUGS!!
Oh yes I remember the Luvs, but see I didn't know I would be preggers so I only 'bought' 4 total packs and then gave those away. I thought they took up to much room in my cart and I had so much JMS to get and HMS coupons to use, oh and salsa
It was so funny that you had to buy the three pack of wipes along with the single pack of diapers, I sold half my wipes at GS for $3 a pack. And I still have lots of them left, thank goodness they haven't dried out or gotten moldy or something weird. Opened a new pack of wipes today and they still smell new. Oh yeah my BDay is in Sept too, the 13th, cool.
And yes on the pampers deal.. I almost forgot. That was my first big deal. I have sold so many wipes at yard sales. I used to wonder too why we had to get so many wipes in relation to diapers with that deal. I remember the target 5.00 off coupon working along with the target gc coupon! those were great days!!
But, you know, I hate people cause I'm a meanie and all that
[snip]
Awww I am so sorry!! Your poor dh!! And I hope your dd's feel better soon!! HUGS!!!
Thank you for the well wishes. Kids are still blechy and the baby is not sleeping well and feels slightly warm.
I just re-read my comment on the poker and realized it sounds like I won money... *laugh* I did win some big pots, but it was all play money! I did win a seat in a tournament for real money though - so I hope I can be patient and win that one too!

I soooooooooo hate this time of the year... causes sick kiddos
1. cook some unsalted beans separately in water and then mix in with the chili. you can always just remove some of the salted beans from the chili before adding in the unsalted ones so as not mess up the proportion of the other spices.
2. if you have any extra meat mix that in.
3. another option, since you have it in the slow cooker... drain some of the water you have put in there. since the salt is dissolved in the water. and replace with plain water.
i hate migraines.
Dazzled, how did I miss your adventure? Good golly what an asshat! I'm glad you and your kids are ok.
meeshe and Nikayla, I don't think Santa will need to bring batteries this year.
Tracy, belated Happy Anniversary!
Bunnies, hope you are feeling better.

I undersstand exactly what you are saying I missed out on everything, I got pregnant at 18 had my daughter at 19, DH and I were already together for 5 years at that point, and it just happened out of the blue, but because of it I didnt make it to college. I was raised to be a mom and have always taken care of people, but I have never had the oppurtunity to take care of only myself, I went from taking care of my mother and running the family and household to taking care of dh, and then to taking care of our kids and dh and running the new household. So I do wonder what I have missed out on, and I am disappointed in myself for not getting to college and getting a great career and a house before getting children etc. I feel like I have cheated them a bit.
It's really hard for us as women to balance our lives, as you wrote going from taking care of parents, to kids, to parents again.
