Isn't that the sweetest heart Be sure to take a picture.

Once my little guy was watching his brothers play a game on the computer and he fell asleep with his blanket and stuff animals, right on top of the desk. laugh out loud I had to move him - but after I took a picture.
I did not take a picture, but we went to Sea World 2 weeks ago, and my 3 yr old fell asleep on the toilet in the hotel room. Poor baby was so worn out she leaned back and was out! I about died wanting to laugh but not wanting to scare her. Needless to say I cleaned her up and put her to bed, laugh out loud

wave Hi all!! School started this week, so I'm back at work. Stupid work ruins everything!!! (That used to be somebody's sig, I just can't remember who. Big Grin )
I got to the office this morning before classes and I couldn't even get the wifi to work here, grrr.

Just scanned like 7 pages. laugh out loud Nothing much to contribute but:

Quote from shopgirl24 :
i have no idea if mine will, but if i even had one to try i'd just take it with me the next time i have to buy science diet. that crap is so expensive but its the only kind they can eat without getting sick. so.. i would try using the coupon on that since that is not something that regularly has coupons out and i'd have to buy it anyway.
shopgirl, I hope you've been getting in on the good SD printables! Check the Printable Qs thread in the DS forum. There was an $8 Q earlier this summer and more recently a $5 that I just got a bunch mailed to me this week. Big Grin

Cute puppies!

You are fortunate to have a hubby that will do shopping for you. I have been so tired this week from work that I haven't been anywhere. It would be awesome to have someone go for me that knew what they were doing. I will definitely fill you in, I hope there's not a bunch of tour buses full of peeps wanting to eat there like last time. It's good but not good enough to wait in line for 2 hours.EEK!

Thanks Ariel. I haven't had a vacation day since February, well, I did get an extra day around the 4th, but that doesn't count because I took my mother on a road trip to visit my brother, no relaxation there! laugh out loud I am so needing this. We may drive down to Savannah and have lunch at Paula Deen's, do some antique shopping and find a few new T's to shop. I am always so much braver when it's not my Target!
Damnit stop being someone after my own heart laugh out loud I'm really into antique paintings... I own a few but know nothing about them!

My Dh stopped at the store after work today and got 4 boxes garlic texas toast, 2 bottles of OJ, and a gallon of milk for $14. Bless his heart for even going to the store because I'm so preggo sick.

When he got home he said he felt really bad becasue he knows I can get a cart full of groceries for $14!!

At SW tonight I had to go to the bathroom really bad and asked DH to wait in line with the coupons while I went. He about had a heart attack when the line started moving too fast. I got there just in time. He does not like to use coupons!

Is there a camp I can send him to?

pop tarts, rice krispie treats, cheeze its and one or two more items are on sale for 4/$9.

Use your Fuel for School $2 Kelloggs q's and the $.50 tq for free pop tarts and get a $5 gc.

Or mix and match and use the $2 Kelloggs FFS q's and get rice krispies for $.25/box. Just look at the bar codes on the back of the FFS q's for the 38000 ones (kelloggs). The other ones are keebler q's. Just realized there is a $2 Keebler one with a pic of Cheeze its on it.

Infants Strangled to Death in Simplicity Bassinets: CPSC Urges Consumers To Stop Using Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 Convertible Close-Sleeper Models

NEWS from CPSC

Office of Information and Public Affairs

Infants Strangled to Death in Simplicity Bassinets: CPSC Urges Consumers To Stop Using Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 Convertible Close-Sleeper Models

WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is urging parents and caregivers to stop using convertible close-sleeper/bedside sleeper bassinets manufactured by Simplicity Inc., of Reading, Pa. CPSC has learned that on August 21, 2008, a 5-month-old girl from Shawnee, Kan. was strangled to death when she became entrapped between the bassinets metal bars. This is the second strangulation death CPSC has learned of in the co-sleeper bassinets. On September 29, 2007, a 4-month-old girl from Noel, Mo. became entrapped in the metal bars of the bassinet and died.

CPSC is issuing this safety alert because SFCA Inc., the company which purchased all of Simplicity Inc.s assets at public auction in April 2008, has refused to cooperate with the government and recall the products. SFCA maintains that it is not responsible for products previously manufactured by Simplicity Inc.
The Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 convertible bassinets contain metal bars spaced farther apart than 2 3/8 inches, which is the maximum distance allowed under the federal crib safety standard. The metal bars are covered by an adjustable fabric flap which is attached by velcro. The fabric is folded down when the bassinet is converted into a bed-side co-sleeping position. If the velcro is not properly re-secured when the flap is adjusted, an infant can slip through the opening and become entrapped in the metal bars and suffocate. This warning does not cover bassinets produced in recent months that have fabric permanently attached over the lower bar.

Due to the serious hazard these bassinets pose to babies, CPSC urges all consumers to share this safety warning with day care centers, consignment stores, family and friends to ensure that no child is placed to sleep in a Simplicity convertible bassinet covered by this warning.
The Commission voted, using its new authorities in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, to release this warning upon making a finding that the health and safety of the public require immediate notice.

To see this release on CPSC's web site, including pictures of the recalled product, please go to: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prere...08378.html

Wow...I leave home for 6 hours and all heck breaks loose...I don't really know what's going on, but it looks like our camping trip may be off.......which is kind of frustrating since I just spent $40 in gas dropping dd off with my mom, when for the same amt. of money I could have just gone up to Chicago today instead of spending another $40 on monday. *Sigh*

Dh is none too happy...don't you hate it when your significant other is upset and you can't fix it???

Speaking of guys and q's....dh needed to go to the store to get hot dogs and soda the other day....I gave him some of the kraft q's and told him exactly what to buy. Well apparently he couldnt find the single packs of kool aid so he just went ahead and gave her the coupon anyways, of course it worked but i was like holy crap!! lol I figured he would have just said forget it...that makes me so proud hehe. (This was his first coupon experience ever.)
