I need to go shopping for houshould nesessities , so I have to go and clip coupons and look at ads to see where the best savings are at. I used to make fun of my mom when she used to cut out coupons,but now that I have children of my own and we are a big family I can see how much money you can save using coupons. On occasion in the sunday paper they have coupons that u can use with the sales that the store is having and practically get the item for free those are my favorite. I also like to go to check out Coupon Money and see what I can print out . I use the target one the most .

I got some cramps from hell going on here. I also got my period today after not having it since april and having some spotting in may. I hope nothing is wrong and this is the way things start up after breastfeeding. With Tristan after breastfeeding I got my period once and then I got pregnant with David and of course after I have had David this is the second time getting it and I am still trying to wean him off so I wonder if that is playing a big part in why my cycles are all messed up. I am on the pill and I thought that would help straighten some of it out. hmmm who knows.

I had lots of fun spending the day watching movies with my kids. We even got jason to sit down and watch some movies with us. My kids have started to like the movies I grew up watching like Gremilins, labyrinth, willow, mac and me, They have been watching them everyday. I can’t wait for them to watch the smurfs movie I just bought for them.
Well I dont know if I have metioned it but the hubby is starting his Master’s program soon. He is so excited and getting everything ready. He has been looking to see if he can increase his laptop memory . I really hope it doesn’t cost too much because we haven’t exactly added his school things into our budget. I am going to try and save a little bit of money for a rainy day or any other extras we might need. I also need to save some money for books or school supplies he might need. I hate to be unprepared and have unexpected bills but sometimes it happens what can you do.
If only I could have a tree that grew money. Then I would really be able to say yes when people asked if money grew on trees.

This is the store that I visit most often when I go to the outlets. isn’t it beautiful.
you should check out the commercial lighting they use on their store. I think it is done on purpose so everything looks brighter and more beautiful and it makes you want to buy their items. That is just my opinion though I am not sure if that is the real reason why it is so lit inside and outside the store.

Jason took us to the outlets today. Lynn got to return her stuff and is now happily awaiting a package from the U.K. She is a real big fan of Robbie Williams and just won on shirt she was bidding on ebay. Today was her first time bidding on Ebay and she had so much fun. I kept laughing at her she reminds me of my kids sometimes.
I have been meaning to look up message boards on the Apple ipods for Lynn because she’s had hers for about 2 years now and it is starting to go wonky. I wonder what the lifespan on them is? Sometimes the computer wont recognize it, then it will freeze for no reason so she has to wait till the battery completely dies out before she can use it again. I think she just needs to look through the newer selections and just buy a new one.

I feel happy today. There are days when I feel sad for no reason( or I am in denial as to the reason) and it makes me wonder what is triggering it. I miss my mom terribly and having my uncle have cancer and not doing anything about it bothers me. I try to be strong all the time but I am not. I break down like most people, the difference is that I cry when no one is watching or everyone is asleep. Life has been cruel to me in certain ways. I had to grown up quicker than I was supposed to. I had to be an adult when I was only a child. I don’t want that for my kids I want them to enjoy their childhood and If I can make life easier for them I will do whatever it takes. I sometimes wish I could be closer to my mom’s brother’s and sister’s but they make it difficult so I am going to stick to my husband and kids and my best friend and for now that is all I need. Just a reminder that I need to look at mens rings and finally decide which one I am going to get Jason, I really don’t want to get him some cheapy wedding band from walmart.

We barbecued carne asada and had fried beans and guacamole and basically had mexican food. It was just us the immediate family and Linda. We watched movies and are thinking about going to see the fireworks.
Linda has been bored since her brother broke her headphones. I have thought about replacing them if her brother doesn’t.She is like me in many ways so I understand how she feels. You would think that since her brother is an adult he would have taken better care of them.
We are trying to convince Jason to take us to the Outlets tomorrow who knows if he is but we will try.
Oh I ran into another person that I knew from when I was growing up. I have been tripping out on how many people from my past are coming up. The funny thing is that most people look like they did 10 years ago it’s like no one has aged any. crazy but cool

I have wondered for a long time what happened to some of the friends and neighbors I had growing up. today for no reason I decided to go on myspace and put in the names of some of the people I knew growing up. I got lucky and typed in the name of the daughter of a friend my mom used to have who I babysitted and I was blown away to see this now fourteen year old girl. I remember her when she was a baby in diapers and I used to babysit and take her walking with me and now that baby is a teenager. I was and still am sitting here amazed. I am so glad someone invented myspace. Now I want to get ahold of more people. Maybe when I am not so tired I will go online and try to find some of my high school buddies.

Sorry I have been missing in action here. The heat is overwhelming and it hasn’t even reached the hundreds yet. The girls are off for the summer and are constantly complaining that they are bored and fighting with each other. I don’t understand how they can fight so much. I was an only child and wanted nothing more than a sibling to play with. These girls are always arguing about something I tell them to be nice to each other but it goes in one ear and out the other. The boys on the other hand hardly ever fight. I wonder if it has anything to do that the girls are four years apart?

Today was a rather boring day. We went to Walmart to get the usual household products and after that I went to get the kids some sandals to wear for the summer. I feel rather tired and without energy again. I really need some vitamins and to lose weight because I have been dragging my feet all day. I have to go and clean up the house but I am prolonging it as much as I can. Maybe of I put some music it will motivate me more.

Jason wants to Coach the kids in soccer again but I want him to concentrate in his school he is going for his masters degree starting the end of july and I rather have him have all his attention in his studies. We will see though he likes to multitask all the time
