RETIRED: Target chit chat

No nap, Noah's up. He's pooped and peed on me twice today already. Stinker!

I, too, turned in early. Still have to watch the 2nd episode of ECand find the FB pages.

Thinkin' of hitting T today, and my new shiny Wags has a $3 off $10 ivc for the Grand Opening so I have to take full advantage of that but haven't read the thread and only glaced the ad but have been getting the Always for 2/$6 - $2qx2 get $4rr, they are out of Colgate, got a few 3/$1 easter crap, and Purex - it didn't work on Milk (didn't know Wags was getting that smart) and got the Pepsi 4/$13 get back $3 but the RR isn't printing so they are price modding it to 4/$10 -$3/$10 ivc = $1.75 a case.

Here's a sharpie, so you don't have to worry about touchups. Now pop that collar bitch!

Settling in. Snuggling with JJ while Noah snoozes. JJ thinks Noah belongs to him. The word of the day is gentle! JJ's happy mommy's lap is back.

True. I didn't even think of that. DH watched the show and asked me whether or not I dream about coupons. I lied and said No.
*snip*

Keep a little score pad of how many times you are asked if you are "one of those extreme couponers". Inquiring minds want to know.

One of the other things that irritates me about the shows is when they say things like "I have saved $40,000". Well, no, not really. They might have accumulated $40,000 worth of product, but they didn't "save" $40,000 unless they would have purchased all that stuff even without the coupons.

And having to call in friends to come check out... what's the matter with the camera man, sound man, director, etc... Aren't they people? Oh wait... maybe they are supposed to be invisible and not really there. Suuuurrrre.

gt, you bring up an interesting point - do you suppose this will have a negative impact on those of who do yard sale our excess? Whenever people ask where I get it all from, I always am honest and say I use an obscene amount of coupons. But maybe I should start coming up with a different answer...

I feel like I'm waking up from the dead. Yesterday, I was so sick, I couldn't get out of bed. Hubby stayed home and took care of the kids so I could stay passed out on the bed. I seriously couldn't move, everything hurt so bad. Even threw up the glass of water I had to drink with the meds.

I feel much better today, well enough to walk around at least. But my son is sick, so we are all staying home. Was hoping to make it to the recycling center one last time this week, since I've only picked up 6 sets, but I'm gonna be happy with what I got. Not worth risking vomit mess in the van.

Glad to hear you are settling in, thrift. So nice, those first few days after the baby's home. Make sure you give him lots of hugs. And I love the name Noah.

Ank, your littles ones are so precious, and I am so glad you decided to let go of the mommy-guilt. The good thing is - she's so young, she'll never remember this, thus she will never hold it against you. And little ones in their casts are so precious. I have lots of pics of my middle girl child - she was born with a club foot and a new cast every week was part of her treatment. Precious memories.

OK, off to reading and catching up!!

Thought you all might enjoy reading this [washingtonpost.com] little g'em...

try to stay off your feet and cut out the aerobics part but keep getting in the water. That will help with the aches and pains you are feeling!

I'm all for keeping baby snuggly where they're supposed to be unless medically necessary. With me I wanted him out because my liver does the job of his while he's inside and well we all know my liver wasn't doing the job for my own body. I also did not want to endure pit again given JJ was nearly 24 hrs on pit. I'm glad it is all said and done and I went way faster than I thought.

I always laughed when people said take this time to rest up. Yeah right, when you have a family to run it kinda makes that impossible!

Oh and baby is Noah Isaias (Is-ay-ee-as) which is a derivative of Isaiah. I think Mini picked a good name.

Both boys are snoozing so I'm heading that way too.

Same here... they almost do that on the rare occasion we have it for breakfast. They get confused when there's no oatmeal or eggs. *laugh*

Wish we had that quaker q again. I am all out of oatmeal. It's funny because it seems that the more I stockpile stuff, the more goes out the door. DH is always finding someone who needs something! I am hoarding the few diapers I got though. We have friends who are having babies, so I have 2 boxes for each person and I just started my huggies q's (I know... I'm way behind) - so hopefully I'll have a few more dipes and some wipes stockpiled by July/August!

Speaking of babies... Mavis is quite the ham and stinking adorable. She and my toddler actually play together. It's so funny. Mavis is trying to give my toddler eskimo kisses right now. It's pretty cute. The funny thing is she does it with her mouth wide open and slobbery, so if you don't get just the tip of her nose - you get slimed big time! Eleanore keeps blowing raspberries on her cheek, and it is making her crack up with big baby belly laughs.

My oldest is so swollen and sore today. I am assuming that means all traces of the anesthesia are out of her system. She keeps saying she's having a hard time sleeping, but she is passed out hard on the couch right now. I need to run out and grab some apples for her to make applesauce. I'm so mad that I forgot to get them while I was out. *sigh*

OMG is it too late to put him up for adoption? My son has called 5 or 6 times in the last half hour -- from the grocery store -- asking me enchilada recipe questions. One. At. A. Time.

Tell him to buy the Philly cooking creme. Their Sante Fe package has an enchilada recipe on it.

Geez, I might as well. He likes them the way I make them, so he is asking me how, but then he is changing it. It's not that damn complicated.

Oh yes, and he also wants to make guac -- but he hates onions. I told him it was probably actually cheaper to buy some than to make it because avocados are high right now. I know this because earlier in the week I looked and I bought ready made -- the good real kind, not the "dip" kind.

Someone asked her this question on her FB Wall too...Her wall is crazy at the moment...I would love to read all the comments on her page but house duties call...BBL

I actually need some shelving for my meager stockpile. Anyone know a good place for some cheap shelving?

With a couple Borders closing in our area. I've been thinking about making an offer on their shelving. They claim they are selling all items even fixtures.

I need a linky, I am so 'slow tech'

What kind of good stuff do you buy?

for you..Take care girl, the last few days shall pass quickly and very soon you will have your little baby girl in your arms...
