I hope that her underwear go up her butt for the rest of the week!

Found the underwear I wanted, 6 pair to a package. Now I'm all set for the next 5 years or so.

GRRR!!!! Got a really nasty, mean clerk at Target. She had "serious concerns" about my coupons.

1. My $0.55 off coupon for Lucky Charms. Does not specify a size, so I bought the tiny little cups that were on the clearance rack. She felt it was not "in the spirit of the coupon" because they were then almost free. WTH??!!

2. She also didn't think it "fair" that I was using coupons on clearance items and getting products for almost free. My $1 off coupon for Clean & Clear was used on $1.58 product.

3. They had "Value Packs" of 409 cleaner on sale for $2.71. They contained Formula 409 cleaner, window cleaner and Clorox disenfecting cleaner, so basically 3 bottles for the price of 1! She thought I shouldn't be able to use the 409, 75 cent coupon because it contained other products. I told her FINE! How about if I also use my Windex 55 cent coupon and Clorox 55 cent coupon in addition to the 409 coupon?! Since she considered them individual products. Well that shut her up on that one.

I finally told her that if she had a problem with my coupon usage I would be happy to have her void my sale and call a manager. Geesh, I think that lady needs to get a life. It's not like I'm taking money out of her pocket.

Most clerks think it's neat that you get stuff for almost nothing. Not this lady. So I've made a mental note to not get in Donna's line ever again.

I hope that her underwear go up her butt for the rest of the week!

what a CRANK!! I have only had one problem using coupons.. and that was with the formula checks...

Can't read my, can't read my, no you can't read my poker face!

Soooo... we figured that since Vinny like to sit straight up, and is so strong we would put together the jumper, adn see how he does with it. It is a winner!! He sat in it all morning, and is taking his first REAL daytime nap in weeks. I have been nagging the old man to put it together for about a week now, its been in the garage getting grubby since Mikalah was a baby. So he took it to work and pressure washed it, and I scrubbed the seat up.. I am loving that he has a place to keep him happy now! He hated everything else.. they laid him back to far. and neither like the swing! Nutty ole babies.

...still forgot to add that I love the new siggie

Thanks Dizzy!

Vaccumed under the cushions of my couch, discovered the following treasures:

4 foam darts
2 pieces of Knex
1 pony tail band
1 very large rubber band
35 ¢
1 tardy slip
1 gelcap of tylenol
1 watch
1 cell phone



I lost the cell phone MONTHS ago!
Shows how well my teenagers cleaned the last time I asked them to help.

Hooray for finding your cell phone! Did you find a hidden Mickey shaped like a dust bunny? J/k!!

My teeth hurt really bad. REALLY. ALL of them. I was wondering when this would hit. It seems to be all coming at once... My eyes, my teeth, my hair... The joys of being 3 months post pardum with twins.

Hope you feel better! Teeth pain is the worst!

I'm going to Target at lunch time to buy some new underwear. Why is it that pretty underwear are never comfortable? Is there some sort of strange law that I don't know about...the prettier the underwear the more they ride up your butt??

Anyway, all of my ugly cotton Hanes undies are falling apart...literally...the stitching in the seams is coming apart, I can see the elastic on the leg bands and they have holes all over...ahhh...but they are so comfy.

So it's time for a trip to Target.

I buy their Hanes brand ones from Target. Sometimes they are on clearance. I get the no-ride up ones and their boy briefs are comfy.

When my brother was small, he liked that contraption that hags above the door and he just happily jumped up and down.

 

[staley7580]

More pictures!!! They are mostly of the boy... he was just more interesting this morning.

Bath time!! Vinny..

Thwack!! Take that!!

mmmmmm... cereal....

I love to jump!

Bouncy bouncy fun fun fun!!!

Sooooo.... tiiirrrreeeeedddd...

Johny Jumper!! Its just like that, only in a frame!

 

[eatmypixiedust]

I think it's more frustrating for me to find bras than under-roos. I don't want lace that makes me itch or ones that have so much padding in it, that it looks like it could launch water balloons or round fruit!

Also, a lot of the pretty ones only come in really small sizes. I have to get mine at GAP Body. There the only ones that don't stab or poke or itch.

 

[eatmypixiedust]

Awww.... those pics are adorable Staley!! I like the one of Vinny sleeping


Oi vay, time to go back to work. TTYL.

 

[staley7580]

oh.. and PS.. the sleeper he is wearing there is a 12 months.. Its a liitle big, but not by much. He is easily in a 6-9 months.

I hate shopping for bras. I am still wearing my nursing bras... even thought the b00bies have deflated.

I hate bra shopping! I can never find ones with just the right amount of padding. I saw an advertising once for bra fitting at some department store but I was too emmbarassed to go. But is said that a really high percentage of woman wear the wrong bra size.

Have you guys ever heard of a Disney cartoon short called Destino? We got to see it on the cruise before an art auction. It was really strange.

I know!!

You should totally do one. I know the larger dept stores, like Macy's and Nordstroms do them all the time. You just have to go in and they will fit you. I think that Victoria's Secret does too. It really helps to have a bra that fits right. When I had it done at Macy's, they fitted me, and brought me a ton of bras that were my size and helped me find the one that fit the best.

Hmm, I'll have to see if I can find one.

I have never heard of it..

The guy doing the art auction made it out to be this big secret thing that hardley anyone has seen. and that is not avaliable to buy.

Hey all I wan to thank all those that replied on that guy and I have told him it will not work he still is like but what did I do and im like OMG lol

That sucks!

I've been very lucky lately, hubby is good at picking out cashiers for me. We have one at Super Target that happily takes every coupon with a smile and a cheerful "have a good day!"
We stalk her each time we go now.

I felt bad for my sis, I showed her how to match up Target printables and the Kraft printable coupons.. she was excited to net some free, cheap groceries. Well, the store still had old signage up.. she had to go to CS and argue the prices.. They gave her the "you shouldn't be able to use coupons on sale items, but I will do it this ONCE" line.

You're not alone, have you read any recent Target posts on A Full Cup? There are many many many stories of rude cashiers, grumpy managers specifically at Target. I think they are feeling the pinch and have been told to be more cautious with coupon redemptions by corporate.
I understand they are watching their bottomline and are hurting.. but lousy service just loses more people.

Interesting footnote.. I've been reading of more couponers going to Walmart.. and having a GREAT experience.

I hope that her underwear go up her butt for the rest of the week!

The first time I got fitted for a bra was when I got my mastectomy prosthesis. I had it done at Nordstrom, it was really funny. I was sitting in a room full of boxes of silicone breast prostheses and had an overwhelming urge to throw them on the ceiling to see if they would stick...kind like those sticky hands you get out of the gumball machines.

Anyway, she determined that I had been wearing the wrong size all these years. I thought I was a 36A and she said I was a 34B. But I always felt like 34 was way to tight. So I've now compromised and wear a 36B. With my reconstruction I can't wear tight bras or underwires. So I tend to walk thru the lingerie department feeling for underwires.

Too funny, my sister and her hubby seem to be addicted to that Farm Town thing on FB also.
