3 Sick kids and Errands

Today is my errand day, or at least would have been if all three of the kids hadn't come down with the cooties! Fevers, chills and body aches to name a few, but at least no barf...I have a queasy stomach and I hate smelling, cleaning, hearing or acknowledging barf. But I did, while in between holding the sickies and feeding the ones that were hungry and rocking them to sleep yesterday, find a number of awesome coupons at Safeway and Costco for the essential stuff!! Costco has Toilet Paper, Papertowels and Laundry Detergent on sale, and Safeway has this new thing online where instead of clipping coupons you can go to their website and click on all the items you want, it adds it to your safeway card and when you go in they are on the card, no coupons to carry or lose!!! I got a free dozen eggs just for signing up! I also needed to go to the Post Office to send a couple of rings back to AVON, the girl who bought them ended up losing her job and really needed the money. I gave her her money back, even though it was spent and then come to find out I have to PAY to send it back to Avon! I was shocked that I had to pay for shipping back... I will definitely manage the money a little differently from now on, especially because there is no time limit on when someone can return AVON. Craziness, but it's my life! Good Morning Everyone!

Life and New Beginnings!

So we are getting ready to head out to Costco and I have been horrible about making sure my coupons are in order and being used, but things have been a little crazy around here! Emma is back in school after a long break and still isn't happy there, but we manage to get her there on time and by the time she comes home everything is good again! Austin and Jackson both still have colds and they seem to be fresh ones that have started new, probably from all the loves and kisses they share. Eddie's work keeps him busy and we are working together to try and lose a few pounds, him so that he will qualify for Gastric Bypass and me so I'm in better shape and feel healthier. Last week Gram had a heart attack and we are slowly getting into a routine to help her and Grampa out so she can recouperate without worrying too much, but anyone who knows Gram knows that this will not happen easily. She is a doer not a watcher so we always have to be one step ahead of her! I've also been trying to keep up with my FlyLady routines around the house and AVON, but they slip a little now and then. Sometimes I think I've tried to do too much all at the same time, but then I'm glad at the end of the day that I was busy and not bored! I'm not sure what the next project will be, but I'm thinking home projects for the house to see what I can come up with without spending money!
