Bon Jour

Heck I am not sure what to say right now. It is a lovely day here in Orting. I am sitting at my computer in my room with the window open and a nice warm breeze flowing in. The cat is sitting in the window still looking outside. She loves to sit there and watch the outside world.

I have been posting stuff on Craigslist today. The servers are down right now so I am kind of stuck. I decided to post here a bit. I also got a load of clothing in the dryer right now. I love the smell of fresh laundry.

I have CD by Diane Birch on. She has a beautiful voice. She is a folk singer but has more of an updated sound. I did a review of this CD a while ago for Oxygen I believe it was. It is very up lifting and happy. It is just the sound I need right now to keep me sane.

I am still having major anger at Robert for his lies. I have prayed for understanding, comfort, forgiveness, etc. I am wanting to hold on to my anger. I have done so much for this ungrateful child and I keep getting treated like a pile of poop. How he could say I punched him in the face. I have never punched anyone in the face! I have never threatened his life! I still have not got to tell Jason what was said.

Jason has been in a nasty mood the last few days as well. He comes home late from side jobs after dinner has sat for 2 hours. No call home to tell me he willl be late. When I try and talk he tunes me out. He wants to relax and not hear any complaints over Robert. He says Robert calls him all day to complain about me. Huh? Robert is never here to fight with me. He gets mad if I say no one at the house when I am not there. He gets mad when I say no to his music and no to hurting the pets. He gets mad when I remind him of his chores. He gets mad when I point out he ate 3/4 of the rack of ribs and I ended up with none and his Dad got what was left. He gets mad when I wont take him places or buy him stuff. Guess what Lil man? You made your bed you lie in it.

Tonight for dinner I am making chicken nuggets and will add teriyaki sauce to cover them and I will add mixed vegetables to them and have a kind of Chinese food. I will also have rice with it.

Well I am back to posting stuff for sale so hope yuou all have a blessed day!

Do I want this job?

There is a local lady looking for child care for her 3 month old and her 2 1/2 year old. I love those ages! She needs someone from 7 to 4 Monday, Wednesday and Friday. She is not yet sure about Tuesdays or Thursdays. I will possibly be watching a friends boy 2 days a week. I love kids and miss being around them. My only issue is the first lady is just able to pay $20.00 a day. 9 hours of child care for $20.00 for 2 kids? The nice thing is she can bring them to my home. I am home most of the time as it is. So now I have to pray about it and see where God leads me.

Random Thoughts

I was in the chat room today and people were freaking out over a *missing* chatter. Believe it or not people do get busy with life! People were iming this missing chatter and so worried. Guess what?? She has a life! She is busy with day to day activities! Geesh it is funny how some were acting so worried.
Tonight I am making cheese ravioli's with red sauce. I will bake some Texas Garlic Toast as well. I have not decided on what vegetable to have yet. I would love broccoli or asparagus but we are out of both. I do not feel like having green beans or corn. I have a package of brussel sprouts but gag they are rank.
School starts on Tuesday here. I am so thankful for it to start. I have have demon child under foot since January. I have not been left alone in over 7 month. I love to have the house to myself. I love to sneak in a nap naked and not worry about someone walking in. I love to have my quiet time to read my bible or do my bible studies. I love to be able to clean house and play my music LOUD. I love to rock out to Phantom of the Opera.
I will slowly be starting on Christmas gifts when school is back in. I will have my house spotless by the end of September. I plan on starting a walking routine. I plan on making weekly menus. I want to be organized! I want to be free to do what I want when I want!

Freebie finds for Tuesday

The Activia yogurt was sale priced at $1.97 each. I had coupons for $1.00 off each package. I ended up paying $1.94 for 2 packages of this yogurt. I got 2 different flavors one was Vanilla and the other was Vanilla with Cereal. I also have a rebate from another company that will send me a coupon for a free 4 pack of their yogurt for sending in a UPC from the package of Activia.
The Fiber one was 2.00 for the Strawberry 4 pack and was $2.08 for the Key Lime Pie 4 pack. I had a coupon for a totally FREE 4 pack but the lady took off $2.5o for one of the packages. That netted me a gain of .50 cents for the pack of Strawberry. I had a coupon for $1.35 off of the other package. That cost me .73 cents for the 4 pack of Key Lime Pie. In the end I guess you could say I paid .23 cents for two 4 packs of the Fiber One yogurt.

I needed a Bounce Dryer Ball refill being as mine is about gone. I originally got this item from one of my site. I get to try new items and give my opinion on it. I love it and how fresh it makes the laundry smell. It was $3.74 at Walmart and I had a coupon for $2.50. That brought the cost down to $1.24 for one bar. Not to bad of a deal!
I had a coupon for a free 2 ounce soy candle by Glade. It is The Fragrance Collection and this was in the Currents and Aqui scent. It is a red color and smells so divine!

I also bought a 3 wick candle in the same scent. It was $4.50 and I had a coupon for $3.00 off bringing it down to $1.50.
I bought two 4 ounce candles that were $3.oo each in the Orange Vanilla scent. I had a coupon for $3.00 off when you bought 2. I paid $3.00 for the two yummy scented candles. They smell like an Orange Creamcicle.

I bought 4 packages of Kraft Easy Mac at Safeway today. It was on sale for .68 cents each. I had coupons for BOGO free. I ended up paying just $1.36 for 4 packages of this yummy in my tummy treat.

Fantabolous Freebies

I went to the mall today with Megan to work on some of my freebies.I love to see how cheap I can get stuff for it is like a high for me. At times I think I need freebie anonymous.

We started off at Target and did a return. It was partially on a gift card that I no longer had and part cash so I said just give me a new gift card and that will work.

Then we headed on down to Victoria's secret where I had 2 coupons for free trial size lotion. I got one for me and one for Megan. There is a reason I take her with me!

We then went over to Bath & Body Works. I had more coupons to use there as well. I bought 5 hand soaps in Kitchen Lemon *orgasmic scent* to me. I am like addicted to washing my hands with this flavor. With the purchase of those at 5/$15.00 I was able to get a full size product for FREE. I chose a Warm Vanilla Sugar bubble bath that was $12.00 for FREE!

I also had a coupon for a FREE travel size item with any purchase. I bought a Pineapple Orchid votive candle for $1.50 and got a FREE lip gloss in Sheer Pink with a Cotton Candy flavor. That was $7.00 for FREE!

I bought another Pineapple Orchid votive candle for $1.50 and got a FREE 3 ounce travel size bottle of Cherry Blossom body spray with my FREE coupon. That was a $5.00 item for FREE!

I ended up spending $18.00 at Bath & Body Works however I was able to get $24.00 worth of items for FREE! The hand soap is usually $5.00 each but was on sale for $3.00 each. That sale saved me an additional $10.00. Not to bad if I say so myself!

I took Megan to lunch at Target after that being as I was getting wore out. Megan was hyper today and yelling and laughing the whole day. It is hard to push her wheel chair when she is rocking it all over the place! I had to keep asking her to lower her voice being as she was really loud!

After Megan and I enjoyed our soft pretzel with cheese sauce and a diet soda we took off to shop in Target! Do you know how hard it is to push an adult sized stroller with Megan in her happy mode and have her holding her soda? As well as holding a purse on the stroller and a red shopping basket? Hey I still rocked it and got some bargains!

There was the IAMS premium protection dog food for half price making it $5.48. I had 2 coupons one for $2.00 off and one for $1.00 off. I bought 2 bags of good dog food that is normally 21.96 for $7.96. Talk about a bargain!

I had coupons for BOGO on the SOBE water. Target has lowered the price to $1.02 here now. I found an endcap that had all the flavors of the 0 calorie brand and in 4 different flavors! 4 would of been $4.08 but I paid $2.04! Now I hope it is at least good tasting!

I had a coupon for a FREE box of Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal. Target here has it for $3.49 but it was FREE with my coupon!
Target would of cost me $29.53 however with my coupons I paid $10.00 not counting tax. I even used the gift card so I was not out any *real* money!

Why do kids have to grow up?

My *baby* is going to be 23 in about 8 weeks. I can not believe he is getting to be that age already. It was yesterday I think that I was changing his diapers and kissing his owies away. He has become a smart, honest, honorable young man. I am so proud of him!

I am so sad however. He is going on a trip to Vegas on his own! He will be gone from September 15th to the 17th. I know it is a short trip but it is one I had always wanted to take with him. A trip that I had always said we were going to do together. I was something that meant a lot to me to be able to do for and with him.

Finances have a way of changing the best laid plans I guess. I know not to count my chickens before they hatch but I was so sure there was going to be more money from Gramma's estate that I had planned to take Tony for a few days with that.

He is now going down when friends of his go. Sounds nice but the friends are married and he is going to be left out some I fear. I know he is a man but to me he is still my baby and he always will be.

I am the one he calls when he his heart has been broken. I am the one he called in tears when he messed up his first attempt at getting his license. I am the one he called the first time he got drunk and kept calling and calling and calling! I am the one he calls mama when he wants something. He is my Angelbaby my one and only.

He is my life, my heart, my breath, my soul. He is my Tony my special love.
