I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so beyond mad at myself right now!!! So, I just went through the ads for this week, hoping to find a great diaper deal. I was all pumped because I had several $2 off Pampers Walgreen's coupons, P&G coupons for $1 off, and my Walgreens register rewards for $2 each (totalling $10). I got the RRs last week when I bought 5 packs of Huggies. When I got home, I immediately filled out the Caregiver's rebate forms for $1.00 back on each pack I bought. I put the other coupons in a seperate white envelope...well, just now, I went into my purse to find my stack of coupons, all ready to go get soem GREAT deals on Pampers...................

FREAK FREAK FREAK FUDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you serious??? I mailed the WRONG ENVELOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The caregiver's envelope was still in my purse, but the envelope containing allllllllllllllllllllllllll of my coupons is NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!! I accidentally put the envelope with alllllllllllllllllllllllllll my coupons in the damn mailbox! Obviously, it does not contain a return address since it was not intended to be mailed! Somebody will get a nice surprise when they open that baby up! I had TEN DOLLARS OF WALGREEN'S MONEY IN THERE, not to mention about $20 in Huggies and Pampers coupons. I could cry right now..........somebody cheer me up!

Hola!

Today I took Kyle to Springfield to catch a ride back to his mom's house. It's sad, and I always hate to see him go. He is so much fun to have around!!!
Tomorrow the WV fam will be arriving for Jen and Lee's Saturday wedding, so I will keep busy and keep my mind off of missing Kyle...maybe? Okay, probably not! My nephew Tyas will also be staying with me, and I am super excited to get to spend some QT with him!!! :-)
I am working on getting their wedding programs finished, so hopefully I will have the printed, finished product IN MY HANDS by Tuesday.
I still don't have my home ready for company! I didn't expect to stress over this the way that I have been, but....well, I am! I STILL have not got my doors all painted...I need to put the second coat on the back sides of the doors, and I need to paint three sides around the doors. UGH! Oh, and let's not MENTION that I don't have a clue how I will get them up! Yeah, so six people staying at my home, and not a SINGLE door hanging up! That's right, not EVEN the bathroom! Oh boy...................

So, I cleaned! But, I have two boys...so guess what, my house is a MESS AGAIN! It is really driving me nuts.

On a good note, I got my hair cut, and I am loving it! Yep!!! Super cute and sheek! Alright, gotta run! Toodles!

Dearest readers:

Well, I am so sorry that I have not been blogging on here as often as I promised! As most of you know, we got moved into our new house, and all of our belongings are still in Ktown, Germany...until OCTOBER OF 2010! I am without a computer... I am trying to keep updated as much as I can. Next week will be super busy with the fam from WV here, and Jen and Lee's wedding...then right after that my beloved hubby will FINALLY be home...for just a visit.
So, hopefully I will get some time to blog and put up some pics. For now, the boys and I are headed to the water park for a bday party! YAYAY

Oh, and Rowan and Kyle are finally feeling ALLLL BETTER! Yayay! I think I should write a book: The Mommy Chronicles??? Perhaps? In all my free time, right?

Sick babies...:-(

I have had an exhausting last couple of days. Rowan woke up from his nap on Sunday, and he was just not himself. He was very lethargic, not playful at all, and wouldn't eat or drink anything...all he wanted was for me to hold him, and when I wouldn't, he screamed and cried. He ended up vomiting all over his room, and when I took his temperature, it was 102.4!!!
I brought the boys to my aunt's house, and Rowan just couldn't get the life back in him, even after three doses of Motrin...so, I called his doctor and was told to take him to the ER. Once there, the doc told us that he had a double ear infection, with the left ear being more severe, a throat infection and a viral infection. YIKES!!! My poor baby!
He started on meds that night, and his temp was still high. I have been giving him (rotating) Motrin and Tylenol every three hours. Well, in the middle of the night, Kyle came in my room crying and holding his head. He said he had an awful headache, so I also gave him some Tylenol. Before much longer, he was over the toilet...needless to say, between the two of them, I got NO sleep that night! LOL They are both on the road to wellness, but not fast enough!
Hope you all are doing well!!!

Print Smartsource coupons

In attempt to cut our spending, we have switched to generics on some common household purchases. Which of the following, if any, have you switched from name brand to generic?
