okay, okay.. enough chocolate talk.. I was craving some earlier.. chocolate and chipsdrool But. I went to the vending machine here at work and settled for some peanutsCool

Went to target today, saw the big bags of chocolate for the GC.. didn't get any this trip. Why are morning cashiers such crabby people. I knew it would be that way, I just went by before work to check on the freezer clearance.. No further markdowns, but I did finally find that white towel shelf thing for 6.xx.. Cashier said I couldn't use bath furniture coupon.. I argued, and another cashier showed her how to decrease amount to purchase price.. then the darn thing prompter for supervisor authorization.. so, I had to explain the whole scenario again... finally got ,my shelf though!

Haven't been on a real shopping run in almost 2 weeks. I had about 10 old spice BW coupons expire todayRoll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Weather here has been wonderful. Finally feels like fall. we spent 2 days at the park and have a weekend full of outdoor plans.. I may fit a quick target trip in the plansWink

Hope everyone is okay.. Too many posts for me to try to catch up with everyone and everythinghug

YUM!! Now I can tell you.. I love me some salad...don't get stressed about it.. you're tiny..eat and enjoy... with kids you can't enjoy eating much...hugs!!
Quote from tootsie67 :
Snickers does nothing for me so they are safe. Twix, however.....well that's another story. "Hungry like the wolf" comes to mind :
LMFAO I do not like any of the "norm" Target chocolates we get for free thank god... it tastes alittle yuck by now for me...

Quote from mama2cole :
Yeah. I know better than to bring them in here. I gave a bunch away, but damn those little snickers.
Awww no more buying snickers.. you'll do great on your diet mama!!

Quote from myluvjustice :
Omg I'm so freaking overwhelmed, I was told today my position is being changed again

I've only been in this position 2 weeks, and now there changing it again.

I'm pissed because they can't tell me how it will effect me especially my pay. Everyone I asked doesn't know, like seriously WTF!
I think I am replacing my boss, the one who quit monday, but I'm not positive?

I'm totally confused and frustrated. I train for the new position tomorrow!
Awww I am sorry!! I hope it works out for the better for you!!

Quote from tn_native :

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes on the job front. I figured out that since the guy I'm replacing did such a shitty job, how can I not look spectacular Cool to the new customer? In a meeting all morning, informed my present customer and the guys who work for me about the job change. My guys were all Bigeye It isn't my choice to leave them, but I have no choice.

Tired tonight. Tried to use lots of Qs on the last day they were valid. CVS'd for 19 boxes of Tampax Pearl for the nieces, Staples to spend my rewards and recycle 3 more cartridges, Publix for P&G pink pan receipts, and then asked them to call another store for Tide Sport. Other store was out, but asst manager decided he'd take my Qs till noon on Saturday for them Praying they get it in on the truck tonight and the last pan receipt will be done. Also finished up my FLA Toss for Cash purchases with rainchecks.
Holy coupon batman!! You were one busy woman today!! I am sorry about the job change but wish you the best in the position... HUGS!!

Quote from LongTimeLurker7 :
How about a compromise?

I think this Elmo is more fitting:
That Elmos a trip!!

Quote from LongTimeLurker7 :
Where's my smiley when I need one!

BTW- Glade Candles can be used 2x in one transaction w/ no prob!

7 Mr. Clean Qs left, so I have managed to use 73 in 10 days No wonder I am so sick of Target (and lugging Mr. Clean around). That is making 2 trips on most days.
Great job!! 73 coupons...craziness!! Sending great shopping vibes to you!!

Quote from dreemedayze :
Bunnies, but I thought we loved elmo and elmo loved us? Now he has to die?

Cathi, nope, my first actual day is sunday. I train from 11 to 3 and then work on my own from 3 to 7:15. Then I work thursday 10-4, and then saturday 5:15 to 10. Big Grin

I am soooooooooooo excited. I found a Kitchen-Aid Pro 450 Stand mixer 50% off @ 124.00. I snatched that baby right up! It's like this but I don't think it's red.

Feeling better.

I'm stressed out a bit - too many financial worries. Feels like the bills are piling up! I even owe the library now.

Baby is not sleeping tonight. Frown She will fall asleep in my arms, but not in her swing, seat, or lying down - and if I manage to get her laid down she won't stay down. Not sure why. Frown

hi all... thanks for hugs...
looks like it is safe to come out for a bit since the evil knife-wielding puppeteer is ZzZZz right now

Quote from myluvjustice :
Its all so damn frustrating. My husband thinks I'm over reacting but I do not like not knowing what's going on.

I guess it could be a good thing, but I am not going to work for less, especially if I'm going to have added work load. I won't stand for more work and equal or less money, no way.

I guess it could be a good thing but right now it doesn't look like it Frown
hug mlj, prayers and good wishes going out to you. you just never know - it may be a blessing in disguise, preparing you for something bigger and better somewhere else down the line. hold the faith!

hug sorry about the financial stuff. Try not to worry, I know that is easier said then done.. Prayers for ya!

I can totally relate on the sleeping baby. Both of my girls were like that. I swear I thought I was gonna have to hold her the first year of her life.. But, it was just a stage, and she got through it.. Just remember, she won't be this little for long.. enjoy it while you canWink

Hope you get a good nights sleep.ZzZZz

ank, maybe she senses you are a little stressed and is reacting. hug

I know I'm missing a lot, I'll catch up more tomorrow. I discovered 30 uncut P&G inserts Tuesday night. EEK! and that is in addition to Mr.Clean and OS that I already had in my purse. But I did it. I had dh hit Walmart for the Gain dish soap, 20 in one trip, 30 in another. lol I took care of the rest of the shopping.

Why oh why can't they sell the soy nut Snickers in stores at Halloween?Frown I know it's not the same but give all the peanut/ nut allergy kids a reprieve. I did find several bags of the GC deal candies fell into my cart... can't risk my kids getting into them so I'm donate them or something. The kids get Tootsie Rolls and Hershey kisses. And I'm a little peeved that they don't have the seasonal Dove chocolates out yet. yummy

Only a few more days for the bath coupons. Drats.

DPCI of the red KitchenAid mixer is 072 04 0225 it's a Pro 400 series mixer. I already have a KitchenAid mixer or I would have snagged one of those in a nanosecond.

MLJ, that sucks eggs that they are already changing your job details again. I'm sorry.

getgreen, hope you are feeling better soon!

She feels your stress momma that's why. Grouphug

I feel you on the financial woes, all our cc are close to being maxed and probably after dd bday, cause I still don't have any gifts for her.
Then at my job I took a big cut on my hours from working 50 hour weeks to 40 and I was 1099 and they are now changing me to w2 (which is great, they have been promising to do so since february) but all this is affecting my next check. Oh and I forgot they change the pay period a bit so I'm also loosing two days on my check because of it.

Sorry I'm ranting again

TN gotta find your post, I missed your job issues. Sounds like I can relate.

I thought that also about Mavis except that she calms when shes held ,babies are very intuitive.

You knocked out some major shopping Jawdrop,all in one day.woot


I didn't even know they made soy nut snickers, with all the kids with those allergies you'd think they'd sell a ton .

Thanks for the reminder I don't think I'll be handing snickers /w nuts out this halloween .

I'm actually the one allergic to nuts. Boooooo because I used to live off peanut butter. One day, had an airborne reaction to it. I will let the kids have things processed in a plant that processes peanuts but Snickers and such... those are a no go. I feel like a freak running around behind them as it is getting them to wash their hands etc. My 8 yr old is AWESOME about that, btw. Probably part of that ritualistic behavior of autism. He often asks before I do if something has a peanut warning, and he is really really good about washing his hands after eating those products.

Monkey toddler is lactose intolerant and allergic to penicillin. Otherwise, the other 3 don't seem to have any noticeable allergies. Thank goodness.

DS and her son (I think) have nut allergies as well. Or is it gator? I can never remember. Embarrassment

We are co-sleepers in general, didn't start out that way with our oldest but that's how it ended up. Monkey toddler still sleeps with us so my answer is usually going to be... let them sleep with you. EmbarrassmentBig Grin They are only little and snuggly for such a short time.


Oh yeah, how I got dh to use coupons. After we had the first yard sale, cleared out much of the stockpile and made $700, he hasn't griped since about what I buy and how many coupons. He stopped at the commissary a few times to get Rolaids with the $4/2 mq (teeny bit of overage but they allow overage! OMG). Tomorrow, he has Schick Intuition mq and orders to get 8 razors. (thanks Hawaiian Dawn for posting that commissary deal over here! Big Grin)

Thanks for being so thoughtful Cathi! I will buy plain M&Ms, and even allow my kids to have them (with reminders about washing hands etc) but I ask parents about allergies. I have a separate bowl with Twizzlers and Tootsie Rolls (nut/peanut/gluten free) and Hershey Kisses (peanut/nut free). I think Starburst are also nut-safe but I personally wouldn't eat the ones that are packaged in the large bag with the Snickers.

And my thought about Mavis and the stress is that ime when mommy is stressed, babies instinctively are calmer when near mommy. Part of the fight or flight instinct that we mammals can't get away from.laugh out loud Babies know mommy will protect them from whatever.
