The Life

Apparently, this is what you can look like after you go on a food binge.....

I shared with you the other day that it was Blakey's birthday. Well, that was the day that it snowed really really hard and it was CrAzY driving conditions outside. One of the things Blakey wanted to do for his birthday was go to Ben's Yogurt. My kids love his frozen yogurt. They just think it is the BEST. And, that is a plus for us because it is well within our Weight Watcher points budget. So, my husband got home really late that day and brought pizza home for the kiddos as, again, that is what Blakey wanted for dinner. He actually said that he wanted pizza for lunch and cake for dinner. :) Anyway, I made myself a couple of porkchops (more WW friendly) and my husband had some Garden Burgers. Anyway, we ate dinner, pretty quickly actually, so we could get out the door to Ben's before it started getting REALLY slick outside. It is habit to cleanup after dinner on an everyday basis, but today was different......We were in a hurry to get out and get back quickly. So, we decided to just leave the dinner dishes and the rest of the pizza on the table and leave. We would be back in less than an hour and we would clean up then.

Well, we left to Ben's. We get there and enjoy our frozen yogurt. (He had cake batter flavor....YUM) The kids get all of theirs and we stay there and eat it. Okay, well, now we are on our way home.....Things are good. Blakey is happy and the other kiddos are happy. We are all happy. We decide to come in the house through the back door. We did not want to drag a whole bunch of snow in the front door and the back door leads into the kitchen, so that is better for us. Well......the kids walk in, my husband walks in, and before I could walk in all I hear from each kid is "OH MY GOODNESS! SAAAADIE! OH MY GOSH! SAADIE!!"  Well by now I'm thinking she did something wrong because tore off like a bat out of hell downstairs. She ONLY does that when she has done something wrong. I come around the corner and it look like a tornado hit our dining room. The pizza box was on the floor, pizza was scattered from one end of the room to the other. I had left my open Snapple on the table that was now down on my chair and dumped over. The bone from the porkchop was now on the floor and licked clean. Well, amongst examining everything she got that little 20-pound butt up onto my dining room table and had a feast! She ate the topping off of four pieces of pizza, had a whole tomato, ate the rest of my porkchop, and whatever else my husband left on his plate!

She did get herself in big big doggie doodoo AND she got herself REALLY REALLY sick. Needless to say....without being too graphic.....she had one heck of an upset tummy, AND now she does not get to run free while we are gone, which she does not like too well.

On a side note, I can't help but think of how funny that must have looked to see her on top of my table just scarfin' down. :)

Just thought I would share.....

Thanks!

Somebody is turning 5 today......

He has gone from this.....



To this......

And this.....

I have NO idea why it posted two pictures. Everytime I try to take it off it messes EVERYTHING up though. Anyway, I think you can get my drift.......

 My little "assistant," Blakey, is FIVE today!!! WOW, time REALLY does fly when you are having fun! So, that means that he will be starting school in the fall. I REALLY can't believe it! This is my baby. Well, as you can tell, he is not much of a baby anymore. He would be very proud to tell you that he is five now. He has been trying really really hard to catch up to his sister because she is 18 months older than him, so he struggles with being the "little" one. So, he is now a very proud 5-year-old. Boy, I guess that means my husband and I are gettin' old. We have an 11 (soon-to-be 12-year-old), a 6 year-old, and now a 5-year-old.

 Anyway, I just wanted to take the time out post a Happy Birthday to Blakey from mommy. Blakey, I love you forever and ever and ever........I hope you have a very special birthday today!

Love,

Mommy

**FYI...so, I just finished up with my work from this morning and so I am going to head upstairs and get myself and the kiddos ready for the day. Then, we will party it up as much as we can being stuck in the house. Needless to say, I probably will not get back in here too much as I would really like to take this day and be with the kiddos and celebrate Blakey's special day with him.

Thanks everyone!

Albertsons

Here are a couple of things that I came across when I was at Albertsons today. First,....

When you buy 4 Kraft Philly Cheese products you can score a FREE ($19.99 value) cookbook. I browsed through the cookbook and it was pretty nice. So, my suggestion would be to buy....

Kraft Philly Cooking Creme $2.00 X4
-$1.50/1 printable X4 (you would need two computers)
=$2, making them just $0.50 each, PLUS score a FREE cookbook (you could store this away in your gift-giving box/closet and give it away later). :)

FYI....Spokane/Coeur d'Alene-Also, while I was in there I was using one of my $5 "Reward" coupons, but the register would not take it. When I asked what the problem was he told me that it said that I had used all of my "Reward" coupons. The only thing that I can think of is that they are tied to your Albertsons card. We have two Albertsons card, one for me and one for my husband. So, just FYI.....I think that the $5 Rewards are tied to your Albertsons cards.

Just thought I would give a heads up. :)

Thanks!

My AWESOME Deal Today.....

Look at my AWESOME deal that I got today......

Okay, so I'm thinkin' that you are probably saying to yourself....."Self, really is she out of her mind? Does she realize she just posted a picture of an ugly lookin' shrub? Where's the deal?" Well, I have answers for you....

1. No, I am not out of my mind, in my opinion (others may say different). :)
2. Yes, I do realize I posted a picture of my ugly lookin' shrub, which is not-so-ugly anymore.
3. Well, let me tell you this "ugly lookin' shrub," I think, helped to save me a lot of bucks!

Okay, so Blakey and I headed out today, before the storm. I needed to get some fresh fruit as we were running low. So, we were out and about doin' our thang. Today, in our neighborhood, it is garbage day. So, my cans were sitting out and whatnot. Anyway, we came home to try to pull into our driveway and our trash can is smack-dab, right in the middle of my driveway, on it's side, which it is not where it was this morning when we left. So, I get out and move it so I can pull in. Then, I look over and the recycle bin is lying in the middle of my front yard, on its side, which, again, is not where it was this morning when I left. So, I'm thinking to myself "boy, the Waste Management people were REALLY aggressive today," which still does not make sense. I'm all confused. The BIG doggies (German Shepards) next door are having a hay day. They are barking like they do not normally bark. Something is going on, but I can't figure it out as I am REALLY confused and THEY are being LOUD, which is quite unusual for them.

Anyway, I get out of my grocery getter (my AWESOME minivan) and start looking at my yard....THERE ARE TIRE TRACKS IN MY FRONT YARD, WITH DUG UP DIRT!!! So, I am standing there in disbelief, STILL trying to figure out what when on as now that I am looking, as you can see in the picture below, THESE TIRE TRACKS ARE ONLY INCHES FROM MY HOUSE!!!!

I really really believe that my "ugly" bush helped to stop a car from coming right into the middle of my front room! I can tell the bush is misplaced and uprooted a little. Anyway, I am STILL in disbelieve and now I'm shaking as this is just INCHES from the front of my house! I notice now that the nice lady from across the street is coming over. I asked her if she saw what happened. She says, "I just got off of the phone with the police and they are on their way. I did see some of what happened. I had heard a loud noise and came running out and this little blue Honda was in your yard. He came RIGHT up to your bushes! He reversed it and took off!" So, the police were on their way. In the meantime, I'm chattin' it up with her and just shaking and trying to hold my composure, because this could have been soooooooo much worse. Right? I AM irritated, but that's okay. The police come and grab a piece of something that fell off of this person's car. I asked him if there was something more I needed to do. He, of course, said no. I mean REALLY there are just tire tracks. Not much more could really or needed really to be done. Anyway, he did say that they were obviously going way too fast and that the de-icer that they laid down this morning made things a little slicker for him. Oh, and that it looks like a lot of damage was done to the car. :)

So, I look at it like this....I don't know about you, but I know that the grass, for me, is ALWAYS greener on the other side. Well, today I look at it as I'm on the other side. Things could have been soooooo much more worse. I could have a big hole in my front room. I could have had to put out lots of money, because of someone else being reckless, or somebody could have been hurt (people walk in front of my house all the time). You name it, it could have been A LOT worse. I mean I do have damage to my yard and my AWESOME ugly lookin' shrub, BUT it could have been sooooo much worse.

My shrub saved me lots of money today and therefore gave me an AWESOME deal!

I just wanted to take the time and share my "little" story with you and remind you, as I was reminded, that things could always be so much worse.

I know, for me, I have so much to be thankful for.

Anyway, I hope you all are having a GREAT day and I wanted you to know that I am thankful for you all (AND my "ugly" shrub)!
