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!
