Slacker Mom

Soooooooo yesterday while working at my desk, I spilled my coffee. Nothing new for me. I seem to spill something everyday, which is why I drink out of my "grown up sippy cup" also known as a reusable water bottle and a coffee cup with a top =) But for that to work, you have to close the cap when not drinking.

Enter Slacker Mom issues....

As I was cleaning the coffee up I stumbled across Kaje's baby books...yea books. See I didn't like the 1st one, so I got a new one, and I have half of the information I know in one book and the other half in another book. Not to mention that most of the information I don't even know. I know I can get a copy of his medical record from the pediatrician and update the information. Some of the dates I don't know 100% but I know the month they happened...but wow! How much of a slacker can you be?

I wish I could say I have several kids and that is why this isn't finished, but I so can not do so. To add to it, I really need to get another book and start from scratch and just get it all finished because I decided to write in them both with several different pens and it is driving me NUTS! Maybe I will just make my own. After all I do have a MILLION scrapbook things, and I can personalize it for Him and the things I do have...like special picks and days I do have information on...humm there is an idea! I will have to do that, that may be better to begin with.

I will have to be sure to be MORE focused and complete a 2nd child's book =)

1st Book Fair

I love the smell of new books. I love books. I just wish I had more time to read them. But, for what I lack in adult reading I definitely make up in reading to the Kiddo.

Every night we read to Kaje. Around 30 minutes or so. It is kind of our time with him, our special time. Plus it is fun!

Well, Kaje's school was having a Scholastic book fair this week. I didn't even know they did those anymore. Then again I haven't been in grade school in almost 20 years so what do I know anyway. I just had to take him, and on the 1st day Of Course! Couldn't let everyone else get all the good books =)

Mommy picked out these Fab Dinosaur books by Jane Yolan. I think we have almost all of them. They are great! And such a cute idea. The dinosaur is really a child, but I must tell you it works a lot easier when I tell K what to do, and I say what would a Dinosaur do vs saying what does the boy in the story do. We want to be a Dinosaur, not a boy. I also picked up two more Cars Books (always good), a great Singing Monster book, and K picked a book.

The Very Grumpy Bear.

OMG! Too funny! The cranky bear, what a play on a child. It is so funny how many stories are there for parents tucked into little kid books. Kind of like old Disney movies, without the vulgarity =) K and I have visited the Jingle Jangle Jungle (where the cranky bear lives). Everynight this week. He gets so excited to read it, that we have to read it twice. It is just fun =) Oh so fun =)

You know that warm and fuzzy feeling you get inside when you eat a hot brownie with ice cream on top, or the way you feel on a Cool Crisp Day when you breath in the cool air and you can almost smell fires burning....

that is how it feels to be a mom...EVERYDAY!

So Mommy is way BLONDE!

Blogging issue solved. You must be in the compose mode to copy and past, not Edit Html...seriously! Anyway, so below is last nights post.

Mommy's Couponin'


Good Lord! Who ever knew that saving money could be so hard! Guess
what? I am exhausted! I spent 2 days figuring out the best deals,
checking different sites, organizing my coupons, making my list. Then
spent another 5 hrs going around and buying all my stuff! Now as much
as it took forever! I think that as time passes it will get easier and
I will save more. However to sum of the day...

Walgreens: Spent around $17 bought close to $46
Target: Spent $13 but saved around $15 plus got a $5 GC
Publix: Spent $22 saved $25 =) Publix was the best! Well I felt as
though it was and felt like I walked out very accomplished.

The great grocery games is def a lot of work, but I am hoping it can
really save us some money.

Below are some of the sites I use. Check them out!
