Mother's Day

I received some wonderful Mother's Day presents this year - my husband is an amazing gift-giver! He always knows just what to give me. He says I am hard to buy for...I guess that's because I don't like "stuff." I don't want things just to have things and I don't want more clothes just to have more clothes. To help him out this year, I told him I really wanted an hour-long massage for my Mother's Day gift. I used to get massages pretty regularly after our car accident 3 years ago but I haven't gotten one since last June because of my fibromyalgia.

With fibromyalgia, I have trigger points on my body that are painful for others to touch and I didn't want to sit through a massage and have to keep saying "ow, that hurts" or "don't touch there" or things of that nature. My daughter in Hawaii has been going to Massage Therapy school and I have been talking to her about this. She recommended a couple different types of massage I could look for that might help me so I decided to give it a try again.

After I got the okay from Greg to schedule my massage I looked in the phone book and actually found somebody who specializes in fibromyalgia massage! I told Greg I wanted him to drive me over there so I could be completely relaxed when I came out and not have to worry about driving myself anywhere....am I spoiled or what??!! This massage was AWESOME! The therapist was an amazing Christian woman who sang with such a beautiful voice it made me cry! When I went in she had worship music playing. She went to change the music and I told her she could leave it on because I enjoyed that music - I listened to it too. As she massaged my body, she sang and prayed the whole time....it was soooo beautiful! That was last Saturday - I have felt great this whole week. I am definitely going back to her again very soon.

The next day (Sunday) we woke up early so Greg could put ribs and roast on the smoker to begin cooking while we were at church. We had family coming over after church. I wrapped up potatoes in aluminum foil to throw on there with the meat. Greg offered to cook me breakfast but we had just had our normal big breakfast at Cracker Barrel the day before so I told him all I wanted was cereal and fruit.

He pulled out a gift bag and handed it to me. I told him he wasn't supposed to get me anything because my massage was my gift. He said "Now you really don't think that's all you are getting do you??" He gave me a black cross necklace - it is very pretty. Once Dakota woke up he came into our room and handed me another gift bag...this one had a very beautiful gold heart necklace that says MOM in the middle and has 3 diamonds on the top. I wasn't expecting this at all - and my emotional self started crying!

Felicia (in Hawaii) had told me she ordered something for me and it was shipped and would be in this week. It did come in and is the cutest thing ever!!! I love it!!
This is supposed to represent me (Ya-Ya) and Greg (Pops - with his cell phone which he ALWAYS has!!) our dog Jet (on the armrest) and our three grandchildren...Bailee (wearing a Princess crown), Allan and Nathan. The pillow on the couch says "#1 Grandparents"

Pictures from my yard






I love flowers! I took these pictures Sunday morning before church...just walked around the yard enjoying a few moments of peace and quiet and God's beauty before the day began. Wanted to share...

What is UP with the gas??


I don't normally pay much attention to the price of gas anymore. I know I need it if I want to drive. I know which stations to frequent because they typically have the lowest prices so when I need it I just stop at one of my favorite gas stations and pump the gas.

Monday morning I was headed out to the hospital about 8:00 a.m. and I had to stop and get gas. Pulled into the station down the road from the house and as I was pumping the gas I looked to see how much I was paying - $2.64 - hmmmm, I thought it was still in the $2.50 range was what went through my mind. I was going to look at some of the other stations (to compare prices) as I passed them but I forgot about it on my way to the hospital for my friend's surgery.

On my way back home Monday evening at 5:00 pm I remembered to check gas prices. It had jumped to $2.75!! WOW - that's a huge jump in one day! Tuesday early afternoon I headed back out and it was down to $2.67. I can't believe how the price keeps jumping around like that from day to day.

Here is a great tool for checking the prices of gas in your area. When I checked this this morning it shows me the lowest price in my zip code is $2.41 and the highest price is $2.77 - that is a tremendous difference!! Wish I had taken the time to use this little tool on Monday morning...GRRRRR.

Anyway, that's what Works For Me! Head on over to Rocks in my dryer for hundreds of other WWFM tips.

Two great shopping trips this week

Went with my mom to a doctor's appt yesterday and on the way home we stopped by CVS and Walgreen's. At CVS I spent $12.00 cash and this is what I got:
2 boxes cereal
2 Adidas deodorant
4 Glide floss
3 Allergy relief
1 Tums Quik Pak
1 Oral B toothbrush
1 Crest toothpaste
1 Colgate toothpaste
1 viactiv calcium pills
2 - 12pk AA batteries

Had $10 ECB left over after all of this - last night Greg and I went up to the hospital to visit my friend and on the way home we stopped by a 24-hr CVS that is near the hospital because Greg has been looking for this particular cologne he wants (which is much cheaper at CVS!) While there I spent another $6.53 out of pocket for this:
3 Orapiks
2 packs of Eclipse gum
(1) 4-pk ravioli
(1) large Listerine mouthwash
and then we purchased
Greg's Dolce & Gabbana cologne - priced at $55.00 - but we paid $42.00 for it after ECB's!

At Walgreen's I picked up all of this for $20.00 -
4 boxes of cereal
4 Ben & Jerry's ice cream
3 Betty Crocker's Warm Delights desserts
2 All laundry detergents
1 Mountain Dew
2 Cottonelle Freshmates

Praise God for another Miracle!!

Praise God! Hallelujah! My friend had her surgery today to remove the cancerous lymph node...it only lasted 2 1/2 hours and the cancer had not spread!! The doctor removed several other lymph nodes just to be safe but he said they caught it in time and her prognosis is excellent! Thank you Jesus!!


There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring
And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling

How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives
And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give

I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And I fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne

Ebates - This is so cool!!

I wanted to tell you about Ebates, a shopping site that gives you up to 25% Cash Back every time you shop online. You can shop at over 900 stores including Barnes & Noble.com, Gap, Target, Buy.com and Expedia. Plus you get additional savings with exclusive coupons, free shipping offers, and limited-time sales!

Sign up with Ebates today and we'll each get a $5 bonus when you make your first purchase!

I had been hearing about Ebates from blogs I've been reading the last few months - people do their online shopping through there and they get money back but I didn't put much thought into it other than signing up for it. About a month ago I had found out about a special sale at Catherine's using an online coupon and I forwarded it to my mom and told her to go use it - she could get $20.00 off of any $20.01 purchase or higher! She took advantage of this deal and as it turned out she had to sign up for an Ebates account to do it. By doing so, this gave HER $5.00 (for signing up), she used this great coupon and got some free stuff, AND she got cash back on her purchases!!

Now I decided this past Friday I wanted to order 2 magazine subscriptions, one for me and one for Greg. I went to look at Ebates to see if I could order the magazines there first and when I signed it I found out I had $10.00 in my account! I was shocked!! I hadn't logged in to Ebates since I signed up for the account almost 2 months ago so I couldn't figure out how or why I had $10.00 in my account. After closer inspection I found out $5.00 is from my initial sign-up (everybody gets $5.00 for signing up but you don't actually get that $5.00 until you make your first purchase) and the other $5.00 is from my mom signing up and using me as a referral!

I went ahead and ordered the magazines through Ebates because it said I could receive a 26% rebate from my purchase. The very next day I received an email stating that Ebates had put $15.58 into my account for my Magazines.com rebate!! This is great - I am definitely going to be checking Ebates more often before I purchase things now!

Lightened My Hair Today


I lightened my hair today - been wanting to do it for awhile to cover my few gray hairs popping up here and there. I picked up light brown because my hair is naturally so dark...I was a little shocked that my hair turned THIS light after only 30 minutes. Starting to grow on me though...Dakota doesn't like it. LOL
He's never seen me with anything but very dark hair.

Handling Death

"In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you."
John 14:2

I don't handle death very well. I'm not sure why. I know, as a Christian, as soon as I or one of my saved friends or family members die, then we'll be dancing with Jesus. I've given this a lot of thought over the years trying to figure out why death bothers me so much. I mean, it's a fact of life right?
We're born, we live, we die...end of story.

I think about all the people I've know who have died at such a young age from suicide, drunk driving, car accidents, sicknesses, etc and their faces run through my mind all the time because I don't know if they were saved or not. I don't know if they are dancing with Jesus! I think about my grandparents who died from smoking-related diseases when they were in their 60's or 70's and I don't know about their salvation either and it breaks my heart to not know that.

When I was in the "working world", doing what I earned my degree for, I worked in a Dialysis unit at a hospital for 7 years. I retired from there to be a full-time mom when Dakota was 2-yrs-old. I started working there doing my internship and was hired upon completing my two-month internship. I was a single mom of 3 small children, fresh out of college and on my way in my new career...I was 24 yrs old.

Over the next few years I worked hard, learned as much as I could and got several promotions. I loved my job, the people I worked with and the patients I got to know. I grew up in that job. I went from a single "partying" mom to dating my future husband to a year-long engagement, a big wedding, a surprise pregnancy (got pregnant with Dakota 2 weeks after we got married), the birth of Dakota, serious illnesses, my return to the church and a relationship with Jesus and many other life-changing events over the course of those seven years.

My patients became part of my extended family as much as my co-workers were. With dialysis our patients came in to the unit three times a week for 2-4 hours each time. Their kidneys didn't function properly anymore so they had to be hooked up to a hemodialysis machine and have their blood filter through an artificial kidney (hemodialyzer) to remove all the toxins. By seeing these patients three times a week for 2-4 hours at a time we really got to know them well. There were many patients that died while I worked there, but I have three in particular, that continue to haunt my thoughts even to this day.

The first one was a young man in his 30's named Jim. He was extremely overweight and a comic. We couldn't wait for his days (Tues, Thurs, & Saturdays) because he always had some new comedy routine he wanted to try out on us. He was from Chicago and always teased me about bringing me back a REAL pizza from Chicago...none of this mess they make around here in FL. One of his biggest thrills was when the comic, CarrotTop, came to perform locally and Jim was able to go see him and have his picture taken with him. I was 7 mos pregnant when Jim had to be admitted into the hospital for routine knee surgery. Our dialysis unit was next door in the medical center so I planned on walking over to see him when I got to work the day after his surgery. I had called the unit after his surgery to check on him and make sure he was okay. I had a special place in my heart for Jim - we didn't have too many young ones on dialysis and he was just a great, funny guy! When I arrived at work that morning I could tell the mood was somber and I started asking what was wrong. Everyone was afraid to tell me - because of my pregnancy I guess. Finally one of the head nurses took me out and told me Jim had died during the night. Apparently he had sleep apnea and the drugs they gave him for pain had kept him from waking up when he quit breathing or something...I don't even remember now. I just remember being devastated.

The second patient was a man who came to us for the very first time. My responsiblity was new patient intake - to process all new patients and have them sign "10,000" forms and explain the whole process to them and what to expect and answer any questions, etc. By the time a patient comes to us ready to start dialysis they are so weak and worn out they feel horrible. It takes about 3-4 treatments of filtering their blood of all the toxins before they start feeling better. This man came in with his wife and sat in my office and I went through the whole process. Afterwards we got him hooked up to the machine and all settled in. His wife came in and asked me how long he was going to be on the machine and when I explained he would be there for about 2 hours because it was his first treatment she asked if she could go to the cafeteria and get a bite to eat. I told her that would be fine because he is in good hands and we'll take good care of him. She walks away and 20 minutes later the man codes in the chair. We work on him for 30 minutes but he dies right there! I heard the doctor ask if anyone knew where his wife was and I told him she was down in the cafeteria...I was praying he wouldn't send me down to get her. I was in shock and didn't know that I could face the woman after just telling her "Go ahead, your husband is in good hands!" I don't remember what happened after that - but I didn't have to go get her and in fact, I never saw her again.

The third and final patient was a lady named Marie and her husband Karl. They were the cutest couple. They were both small-- tiny in height and very skinny. She talked so fast and would nag him to death - he just smiled his toothless smile at her and winked at me. Their days were Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. Everyday after she was hooked up he would come to my office and sit and chat for a few minutes. I KNOW they were not saved - I had a chance to talk to them about Jesus and neither of them believed in Jesus nor wanted to hear anything about Him. Marie ended up coding while she was on the machine too and she couldn't be brought back. The thing that has always stuck with me though is her face as she was dying...she wasn't dying slowly and peacefully...just drifting off while hooked up to the machine. She was fighting and clawing and had this horrible wide-eyed expression on her face unlike anything I have ever seen before - she died with THAT expression on her face.
I have always thought "She has said she doesn't believe in Jesus so I wonder what she is looking at as she is dying?"

Meme - 7 things about me

Rebekah over at Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe tagged me for a meme about 2 weeks ago and I forgot about it until today so here goes....

Here are the rules if you decide to play along:
1) Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog
2) Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3) Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4) Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

This is hard to think of 7 things!
1) I learned how to drive on a motorcycle before I drove a car. I began driving motorcycles all around my neighborhood and country roads when I was 14 yrs old. I love motorcycles!!

2) I used to dance several nights a week at a country bar. An old boyfriend and I loved to swing dance - he would throw me up in the air, around his waist and over his back. It was so much fun! We were asked to dance in a couple of commercials. While dancing for the commercial we had to dance over and over and over and we were both worn out. He went to flip me one time and I kicked him upside the head with my cowboy boots and just about knocked him out. It's all on tape - such a "lovely" scene. LOL

3) I'm growing my hair out long so I can cut it off for Locks of Love and then I'll start over again. My husband and son love my long hair so much though, I'm not sure how they are going to handle it when I cut it...haha.

4) Hurricane season is going to start next month...I love hurricanes. I know, I know...sadistic isn't it?! I don't like all the destruction they cause when they are Cat 3 or higher but they are fascinating to me. Dakota and I go out to the beach the day before a hurricane comes because the force of the waves is amazing to see! I stay glued to the Weather channel to watch the Tropical Updates during Hurricane season.

5) I am starting a Teen Pregnancy Ministry at my church with a good friend of mine. We are having a Baby Shower Kickoff event at the end of May....lots to do!!

6) I am fascinated by all the CSI TV shows - if and when I turn on the TV (I very seldom watch TV) I automatically go to the guide to see if there is a CSI show on that I can watch. If there's not one of those to watch then I watch Nick at Night. That's it...I never turn the TV on any other time.

7) I enjoy going to the movies by myself. We have a Dollar Movie here in town and I try to go there several times a month all by my lonesome. I grab an Icee and a small popcorn and catch a flick. It's great to sit there and laugh or cry without somebody talking to me or watching me cry!


I tag Gina from Six in the Country, my friend Telle from Telle's World (to help her jumpstart her blog!), Michelle over at Gabe-the-BabeStille because she has a very interesting way of raising her son and I can't wait to hear more fascinating facts about herself, Claire because she needs to get out of her writing slump, Marshamlow at Family Adventures, AlaneM at Confessions of a SAHM, and finally Angie at Thifty Florida Mama - she is so awesome with all her advice!

Tried Walgreen's Today - Prefer CVS

I know that Walgreen's has some GREAT deals this week BUT they also have too many rules and stipulations to their Register Rewards program! Ugh...I just can't keep it all straight!

I spent a lot of time last night and this morning trying to put together my coupons and deals before I went to the store so I could just walk in and pick up what I wanted, check out and leave. I actually planned to do 5 purchases but the store was a little busy and I started second-guessing myself so I stopped gathering up my products at purchase #3 - good thing!
Here's what happened:
I took in my gift card with $18.70 on it from my April rebate (which I got back super fast since I can now do it online - I STILL HAVEN'T received my March rebate yet although it says it was mailed last week!?! Grrrrr!!) I only planned on spending my gift card and rolling any Register Rewards I received.

First purchase came up to $30.62 and after taking off all coupons I had to deduct $11.20 from my gift card. I received $20 RR (2 - $10 RR) back for the P&G and $3 RR for Zantac.

Second purchase came up to $15.74 and after deducting coupons and using $10 RR, I had to deduct $2.24 from my gift card.

Third purchase is where I ran into trouble. I now have a $10.00 RR and a $3.00 RR to use and only $5.26 balance left on my gift card.
My purchase came up to $14.99 and after deducting coupons I was at $9.99 - I tried to use my $10 RR but I couldn't because one of my items was the Venus razor which is a P&G product and the $10 RR came from P&G products so I couldn't use one to pay for the other (hmmm, go figure?) Okay, so I used my $3.00 RR which brought me down to $7.74 - deduct my gift card balance of $5.26 and I owe $2.48...the only problem is I didn't bring any money with me! My son remembers the change can out in the car so he runs out to get that and I count out $2.48 in dimes and nickels. After that, out pops my other RR for $6.00!!

Oh terrific!! Now I have $16.00 RR to go spend - let's see if I can figure out all the little details so I don't screw this one up. LOL - I enjoy CVS so much better - it is wayyyyy easier than this!!

All in all, I spent $20 and got all of that which I am very happy with AND I have $16 RR to go spend on some more stuff.

Shopping Lesson 101

My daughter in California and several friends have been following along with my CVS/Walgreen's shopping trip adventures I post about on here. They haven't ventured into this area themselves because they just don't know how to get started or they don't understand how "the game" works. I took some time yesterday to actually write out step-by-step what my daughter needed to do on her first shopping trip and I emailed it to her.

She doesn't have a stockpile of coupons because she doesn't purchase the Sunday paper -- so with that in mind I asked her how much she was willing to spend up front (cash) and what were the main items she needed. She told me she only wanted to spend $20.00 because she needed wet wipes and diapers and she would spend that much on those items anyway.

So keeping that in mind, this is the "deal" I worked out for her based on May's sales. Let me show you this first and then I will explain some basics you need to know.

Purchase #1 - Tell the cashier you have separate purchases - they never mind, if they get a long line normally another cashier will come open another register but if that doesn't happen you might want to step aside and let the cashier check some other people out before you finish your multiple purchases - she will appreciate you!!

You are starting with $20.00 cash
First purchase
(3) Colgate 360 toothbrushes @ 3.99 each = $11.97
(1) Aquafresh Extreme Clean Polishing Action @ $2.99
(1) Dawn dishwashing liquid @.88

Total = $15.84
Subtract your coupons (hand them to cashier IN THIS ORDER!)
your $3.00 / $15.00 purchase coupon - have to give that to her first always, then it doesn't matter what order you give her the rest in
(2) Colgate toothbrushes coupons - $2.00
-$1.00 Any Colgate Adult Manual ToothbrushPRINTABLE
(1) Aquafresh coupon - $1.00
-$1 off Extreme Clean (Polishing Action) PRINTABLE
-$Various Aquafresh products (Polishing Action) PRINTABLE

You are going to pay $9.84 + tax out of your pocket.
You will get back $14.96 in Extrabucks (add that to what cash you have leftover and you have just profited about $5.00 so you now have $25.00 to spend)

Second purchase
(1) Aquafresh Extreme Clean Polishing Action @ 2.99
(1) Gillette Body Wash @ 3.99
(1) Adidas Anti Perspirant @ 4.99
(2) 1-gallons of Nursery Water @ 1.69 each = 3.38
(1) Non Drowsy Allergy Relief @ 3.79

Total = $19.14
Subtract your coupons
-$3.00/$15.00
-1.00 Aquafresh toothpaste
-$1 off Extreme Clean (Polishing Action) PRINTABLE
-$Various Aquafresh products (Polishing Action) PRINTABLE
-.55/2 nursery water
http://www.nurserywater.com/offers/coupons.php
-11.97 ExtraCareBucks (ECB's) - from purchase #1

Pay $2.62 + tax out of pocket
You will get back $16.76 in ECB's and add that to your $2.99 ECB's you still have left over from purchase #1 you now have
$19.75 in ECB's + $7.54 in cash left = $27.29 to spend

Third Purchase
Pampers Wet Wipes @ 2.99
Pampers @ 8.99
Honey Nut Cheerios @ 1.99
Olay Body Wash @ 5.99

Total = $19.96
Subtract any coupons you have and then you can subtract your ECB's.
-$3.00/$15.00 purchase
-4.99 ECB (got for Adidas deodorant)
-3.99 ECB (got for Gillette Body Wash)
-3.79 ECB (got for Non Drowsy Allergy Relief)
-2.99 ECB (got for toothpaste)
-1.00 ECB (got for the nursery water)

You will pay .20 + tax for this purchase
You will have $2.99 ECB's left over + $7.34 cash = $10.33 to spend

4th Purchase
Olay Quench Lotion @ $5.99
York Mints @ 2/$3.00
Pringles 1@.88

Total = $9.87
No coupons and total doesn't equal $15.00 so you can't use the $3.00/$15.00 coupon
-$2.99 ECB's

You will pay 6.88 + tax cash for this purchase
You will receive back $5.00 ECB's for the Olay and $2.00 ECB's for the York mints so you have $7.00 ECB's to spend the next time you come shopping!!

Look at everything you got for your original $20.00 cash AND you have $7.00 left over (in ECB's) to spend on your next shopping trip!
3 Colgate toothbrushes
2 Aquafresh toothpaste
1 Dawn dishwashing liquid
1 Gillette Body Wash
1 Adidas Anti-Perspirant
2 Gallons of Water
1 Non Drowsy Allergy Relief
1 Pampers Diapers
1 Pampers Wet Wipes
1 Honey Nut Cheerios cereal
1 Olay Body Wash
1 Olay Quench Lotion
2 York Mints
1 Pringles chips

Okay, so here is some FYI -
  1. You have to get an Extracare card!! Either go to CVS website and register online (takes longer because you have to wait for it to come in the mail) or get one in the store.
  2. Once you have an Extracare card - go to CVS.com and register there with your card to receive email updates - you will get great coupons in your email.
  3. Pick up a weekly AND monthly flyer from the front of CVS stores - they have different specials in them.
  4. When you are walking around the store always keep a lookout for other specials - they are everywhere! They will have peelie coupons, flyers with coupons, free magazines with coupons in them. If they have a scan machine - normally near the pharmacy section- scan your extracare card - you will get coupons printed out that you can use.
  5. Your ECB's print out in different denominations and you have to use them as close to that amount as possible. You will not get change for these. Your cashier will adjust the amount down if you are willing to lose a few cents. Let's say in one purchase that you purchase 5 toothbrushes (there is a limit of 5) @ 3.99 each = $19.95 and you are going to receive $3.99 ECB's back for these toothbrushes. Your ECB's will print off on one receipt as $19.95 which means you now have like a $20.00 bill in your hand - only you won't receive change back so you HAVE to spend close to 20.00. Hope this makes sense!
  6. I have shopped at CVS stores all over town with many different cashiers and I have always had wonderful cashiers who are great about my multiple purchases and tons of coupons! I always tell them I have several purchases I want rung up separately. Most of them are thrilled to see how "the game" works and start asking me if I and find any more coupons to use to get a few more cents off. Don't be intimidated...just be nice and courteous AND if you see the line growing long, offer to move to the side for a few moments - your cashier will appreciate you!
Hope this has helped you and I look forward to hearing about YOUR great deals real soon!!

Unschooling

This week's "What Works For Me Wednesday" is a themed version entitled "What DOESN'T Work for Me". Head on over to Rocks In My Dryer for more WWFM news.

In keeping with the theme of the day I thought I would discuss homeschooling. I have been homeschooling our youngest son, Dakota since Day 1. He has never gone to public school. We've tried the traditional ways of homeschooling with us both sitting at the kitchen table for several hours a day working in school books but it just doesn't work for us.

For the last couple of years we have ventured more and more into unschooling. Now if I even try to get Dakota to work on something he is not interested in he asks me "Why do I have to know this? I am not interested in it. If I want to know more about it, I'll look it up on my own." That's the beauty of unschooling or child-led learning. When they get an interest in something they absorb everything they can about that particular topic for as long as they want. There is more freedom and less structure. We are not concerned about grades and measuring up to others' standards...instead, we are focused on just learning about life and the world around us. Unschooling works for us, traditional homeschooling/public education doesn't work for us.

Frustrations and Blessings

I mentioned briefly in an earlier post that I was going to start taking customer service calls from home. I had to get a home phone and a separate DSL connection installed in the bedroom where I am going to be working - this was all set up to be installed yesterday morning between 10-12. Late Sunday evening, I realized I had forgotten to purchase a home phone and a headset!! After Greg left for work yesterday morning, I went ahead and made a quick trip up to Wal-Mart (at 6:30 am) to try and pick up a phone and a headset so I could get back home and straighten up my desk area before the cable guy got there to work on my DSL/phone connection.

I had just gotten back to the house at 8:00 when the guy called me and asked if he could come over early...as in right now. This actually worked out great for me! He came over, did what he had to do and was gone by 9:00. Whoohoooo - I was ready to begin my training. I had plugged the phone in to let it begin charging and decided to let it charge until 11:00 before I started working. I didn't think I would really need my phone the first day but I wasn't sure so I didn't want to take any chances.

11:00....pulled out my nifty new headset...sat down in front of the computer to begin my training...went to hook up my headset to my phone and there was no way to connect it to my phone! GRRRRRR, are you kidding me?? By this time, my mom had left for the day taking with her her vehicle (my source of transportation when Greg is at work) so I had no way of running back out to Wal-Mart until later that evening.

I spent the day cleaning and dusting my frustrations away until 6:30 that night when I made ANOTHER trip back to Wal-Mart to return that phone. After looking at all the other phones available and opening several boxes and inspecting the actual unit to see if there was a spot to put a headpiece I left there headed to Kmart. I was determined to find a simple $20.00 phone that could connect to a headpiece. There were plenty if I was willing to pay $60.00 + (which I'm not because I won't ever use the thing and don't need all the bells and whistles.) I had to go to 4 stores - fortunately they are within 2 miles of each other down a main highway - before I found a phone at Target on sale for $19.96....it was just perfect!!

While I was there I was able to pick up two more packs of these Huggie Cleanteams using my coupon found here. Target has had these on sale for several weeks now for $1.99/each and with my coupon $3.00/2, I end up paying $.50 each for these!
On my way home I called to find out if we needed milk and when I was told that we were almost out I let them know I was going to run into CVS to purchase some milk. Gotta get my CVS fix in for the day!! This is what I picked up for $4.61 out of my pocket! Whooohooo - the milk alone was $3.99 so all this other stuff was pretty much pocket change AND I got $5 ECB back for the razor.

Toon-ful Tuesday

In honor of Mother's Day this coming Sunday - don't forget about your mom!
