Ahoy Ye Matey's!!!

It's raining, it's pouring!
I wish I was still snoring!

The dogs are so funny! Daisy HATES to be wet, so she won't go out unless you take her on a leash. Then she'll stand under the umbrella and practicley pee on your feet! Then there's Kozmo who LOVES to be wet and would run around and get soaked, so you have to take him on a leash or you have a mess! This was one day when they decided to play after a rain. Never again..... I was surprised that "Princess" got into it, but she did!

Well, I better get a shower before the exterminator gets here!

I'll see you all later!

oh my goodness Michele!!!!!! what a mess they look so cute though!!!!!

I like CouponCabin.com for printable coupons for clothes.

CouponCabin.com is wonderful, both for print coupons and for online store coupons. Other sites that have printable coupons include coupons.com and smartsource.com. I log on using two different computers so I can print double my print limit on certain coupons, esp. the $1 and higher off ones!

I guess I spend $120-$150 a week on groceries, plus do an every 2-month trip to BJs (like Sam's Club & Costco, and BJs also has printable coupons available on its web site) for the boxes o' snacks, bags o' chicken, palette of juice boxes, etc., spending about $150-$200 there. Then the SuperTarget trips every 2 weeks or so absolutely do me in....can't get out of the store below $100!

The rewards system at Kroger (groceries) has save me lots of $$$$ too. With every 500 points, you earn $5 off your grocery bill coupons, mailed to you every 2 months. I regularly get at least $15-$20 off coupons, plus store coupons for products that the big brother scanner says I buy often, which really helps with three kids and a hungry husband!

Keep the deep freezer stocked with sales too!

Hello all!
I ended up babysitting this morning. She said she "just needed to run to the pharmacy for an hour as they are having computer problems" Well, that hour became 4! UGH! I feel SO far behind now! I should be done with carnival, but I haven't even started today! Also, the Cleveland Indians are playing one of their spring training games against Tampa Bay in Winter Haven and I would MUCH rather sit down and finish watching the game...but that would put me even FURTHER behind!

I'll try to be back later......

Allen's chili is now defrosting....at least I won't have to cook!

Hey Gina,

SOunds like it was FUN to go and get a drink.. I need one I'm jealous....!!!!! We had parent teacher conferences tonight and then came home and watched Enchanted with the kids...I love that movie!!!!!!!!!!

Hello All!
Allen's chili freezes beautifully and heats up wonderfully!! Had that over speghetti and made some Jiffy Corn Muffins.

Gina, I may partake in a much needed drink at about 230 next Saturday. I am sorry to continue to gripe about this school carnival, but I really feel like I am doing this myself! I thought I would be done sorting and assigning the prizes to the games, but I'm not!! I might be able to finish it tomorrow. Thankfully, Jennifer is taking care of the food and the inflatables. She is also getting some of our copying done! I just hope we end up with enough volunteers to pull this off! Everyone wants to attend the carnival, but no one wants to volunteer to help!! It's just frustrating!

The boys and I are applying for our passports tomorrow morning! Just means the cruise is getting that much closer!

Going to take the lawn mower in for a tuneup and blade sharpening. I really could cut grass already, but I am holding off as long as I can!

I hate when everyone wants to attend a school event but no one has time to volunteer. It is the same parents who volunteer for everything....!!!!!!!!! I hope it goes well...!!!!!!!!!!!

Just ask Nancy how I cured that problem. Here's a hint, I didn't have to sharpen that blade anymore!!!

That seems to be the way parents work these days. That is why our girl scout troop disbanded. They basically treated us like daycare. They wanted our girls to do all this great stuff, but no parents ever volunteered to help at the meetings, or drive to the field trips, or anything! I hope you get the help you need! I would help, but it's a really long drive.

I am going to a DIS meet this weekend at the Mall of America, that should be fun!!!

Have fun at the birthday party Candy!!!!!!!!!

 

[elgerber]

This will be my 2nd one. Two of the women I know pretty well, as we shared plane rides to and from WDW one year, and stayed at the same hotel. We ran into them all over the parks too LOL. There are 2 people on our cruise I've tried to get to come, but one is in Florida until late Friday and I can't seem to track down PiperG. It sure would be fun to meet them before October.

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

A meeting at the Mall of America! That is neat! I wish all of us could get together and meet before the cruise! How cool would that be! I am just not sure we could make it happen!

Thanks for your sympathy regarding the carnival. It really IS frustrating. we have had several meetings and literally, me, Jennifer and one other Mom are usually the ONLY ones to show up! The most we've had is 5 people. Our school has almost 800 kids! HELLO! I could use some help here! LOL I was thinking, as I was sorting and packing, yanno, I should have AT LEAST 10 moms in my garage helping me to do this! Instead it was me and Colton! Then it dawned on me, I forgot to add to the signs, how many tickets each game will cost! LOL I'll just make stickers and put them up when the signs go up! Gggrrrrrr!

Denis, did you buy a goat? I have thought about a cow.....I wouldn't have to mow grass, I'd have milk all summer and beef all winter! But I hate to clean up dog doo, nevertheless, COW doo! Yish!

That what our meeting was about, doing a carnival. 5 parents showed up, unbelievable!!!! It is always the same people that run everything, me being one of them. Everyone will complain when it is cancelled because of lack of volunteers. Makes me crazy, I feel your pain, we did a carnival two years ago, I remember the amount of work (maybe thats why only 5 showed up lol) Sending you the strength to get through it *POOF*

Hey Gina,

SOunds like it was FUN to go and get a drink.. I need one I'm jealous....!!!!! We had parent teacher conferences tonight and then came home and watched Enchanted with the kids...I love that movie!!!!!!!!!!

We will share a few drinks together for sure. We bought Enchanted in DTD and went back to SSR to watch it, we love it too!!!!!

Have a great time at the DIS meet!!
I just agreed to help with girl guides next year, thankfully we have a great bunch of parents though.

Hope everyone is okay out there.
