Thought for the Day


"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Procrastination

Ok, so I have a lot of things I should be doing right now:

sand and paint 6 little blocks
sand and paint a piece of crown molding
type up and print sign up sheets for these craft projects
put together a coaster, picture thingy kit
gather all this stuff together in a basket, ready to go for Sunday
clean my kitchen, upstairs living room, dining room
laundry put away
peaches cut-up
peaches pureed
peaches canned
fix dinner
clean the bathrooms
vacuum the stairs

What am I doing? NOT any of that! I'm posting on my blog. :) And I think about what I've been doing today and NONE of it is anything I SHOULD be doing. So, what have I been doing?!

I took Elizabeth's lunch to her because she left it in the car. I picked up my peaches. And then I went to the grocery store. Now THAT was the highlight of my day! Seriously, it was. I got 8 boxes of Post Frosted Shredded Wheat for $5. :) My coupon addiction kicked in today and I just HAD to stop to get this good deal on cereal. I'll go back tomorrow or Monday and get 4 boxes for $1. I just realized that this is a deal I can share with you Arizonans. So here it is!

At Fry's, they have some Post cereals on sale, 4 for $8. When you buy 4 boxes you get $4 off your order when you check out (with your card). So that's 4 boxes for $4. A good deal! BUT it gets better - you know those coupons that print out along with your reciept? Those are called Catalina's (coupon fact for you) and when you buy certain Post cereals right now, a Catalina prints out for $ off your next order.
So go to Fry's and grab either 4 boxes or Post Shredded Wheat or Raising Bran (or a comb. of the 2) and use your VIP card to check out. You'll pay a little over $4 for this order AND get a coupon for $3 off your next order (you use it almost like money on your next order at Fry's - its good for anything). Then you can just keep buying 4 more boxes of those cereals and pay only a little over $1 after you give them your Catalina coupon from before. Another Catalina will print out and you can go and get more cereal. It's a vicious cycle! :)
This deal ends Tues. so go as often as you like! But make sure to only get 4 cereals per transaction. If you have any further questions, email me!
By the way, this same deal is going on in Utah at Smith's (same as Fry's). I'm not 100% sure if the Catalina prints out, but it should.

After my shopping expedition I took Livvy home for lunch and nap. While she napped, I had a few phone calls to take care of and next thing I knew I was picking up the kids at school. And that's about all - up until now.

I really should go and do something that I should do. :) That's a funny sentence!

You're entirely too home-makey for your own good.
here's your problem...you set the bar too high. They expect things from you. Just don't do anything - for like 6 months - and THEN when you finally do the laundry - they'll be thankful - and you can actually feel like you DID something.
That's my philosophy. Which is why you don't see any "mother of the year" trophies around my house! LOL!
