What a Day, Again!!

Just another Manic Monday........whoa, whoa, that's not fun day........................ that's the song that was in my head all day. It felt like I was on a roller coaster. Have you ridden one lately?

This morning started out great. Gibson went back to school, the morning routine was down I have new followers on my blog, wonderful, and I won an letter initial from Karol's blog and got some awesome coupons in the mail along with a ziploc vacuum thingy with some bags for free!!!!

I had to make a call to a woman we were supposed to visit teach through our church. I'm not good at this but thought I'd give it a try. She politly said, "take me off the list, you people keep calling me." I"m not a scary person, really.

Then I was all geeked to go to the local grocery store to take advantage of their $1.77 deals on Cheerios and Total brand cereals. I spent the previous night on the computer printing coupons for these deals to get even a better steal!! I like to be frugal with my food. I'd rather spend my money else where!!


Any hoo, I take the kids with me and we get the deals I had planned out to get. I"m ready to pay and hand the cashier the coupons and he drops the bomb: I'm sorry Mam, we don't take internet coupons. What??? The crazy thing was, I was just there a couple of weeks ago using internet coupons and he said that the no internet coupon policy has been there for a long time. So with two squirmy kids and three people behind me I decide to pay for it anyway. It still was a good deal but I could have saved another $10. Aghhhhhhhhhhhh!!


And those dang cookies kept calling me back to the jar, "Come on Kasey, one more ain't going to hurt ya!" I think cookies are the devil. I wouldn't make them except for my husband loves them and requests them all of the time so if all it takes is cookies to make him happy, I'm in!!! He tried to hide them but somebody found them! Hmmmmmm, who could that be????
After eating the cookie, the voice inside my head says, "Today on the lips, and tomorrow on the hips." Shut up. I know, I know what you're thinking, will power. Sorry to disappoint ya but, I'm lacking in that as of now.

We were getting into the car and Stella fell on her back and head on our driveway. She slipped on ice. Scary, but she's okay.

Fed up with my eating habbits we went to a YMCA to check it out and see if it is a good fit for our family. I"ll show those cookies who's boss. I think we'll join. It's a good investment for our health, physically and mentally. I don't think I get out of the house enough so this is a good way to do that!!

Afterwards we went to Walgreens to get more deals. I like to go alone shopping because with all these coupons I use now, I need focus and concentration. Shopping with coupons isn't as easy as it looks, especially if you shop at Walgreens. You can use two coupons for one item. Gets tricky.

To end my rollercoaster ride I got 2 pints of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream for free with my coupons!!! Don't worry, they are Q's. He knows he has a time limit to eat those goodies before someone else gets their hands on it!!!


I remember my word for New Year's: Attitude. My attitude is fine. Tomorrow's another day, a new day, a better day. Chin up!!
