10 on Thursday - Randomness -

1. I am finally feeling Peachy (This weeks fruit comparison is a peach so I had to do it :). Actually I happen to be home today with a cold (yet again) and a horrible headache (nerve stimulator isn't so cooperative lately and therefore been getting lots of headaches :(

2. Last night I tried to convince Mike's mom that we are not finding out the babies sex... which didn't work. Mike wants to know way to bad to wait, pretty sure he wants to know worse than I do. (He REALLY REALLY REALLY wants a boy!)

3. My belly is starting to get hard (under the flab of course). I also have lost 10 lbs in the last few weeks, although the puking was horrible I like loosing weight! Dr. says its fine for me to lose weight, just not a lot at once or by any unhealthy diets.

4. Work has been kind of stressful. Lots of nagging and nit picking, since our store is so slow it's a lot easier for management to nit pick. It gets annoying and frustrating, but lucky for me I for the most part just let it roll off my back.

5. Speaking of work I have 2 dents and on good size scratch (plus one I had removed a few years ago)on my car all of which have come from WALMART parking lots! 1 from Ponderay store (1st one), 1 from Post Falls Store (#2,the biggest one), 2 from West Point/Stateline store (#3 & 4 in the last 4 months). Makes me so mad that people are so inconsiderate! I watched the lady drive off yesterday, she looked very nervous when she saw me looking at my bumper (she was looking as I was getting off work). Not really worth pursuing being it's a scratch but I should probably check and find out if they have video footage at work just in case.

6. I really wish Mike and I had our own computer and printer and all that jazz so I could actually do something with my pictures other than just sit there on my SD cards for long periods at a time (like a year!).

7. I am seriously considering writing a book called "The things people DON'T tell you about being pregnant." It amazes me how quickly I go from feeling great to pure misery... NO that doesn't mean I am not enjoying being pregnant, I just never knew ones body could do certain things without having some sort of virus or flu.

8. On that note I now know 22 People pregnant due between May and December! I find it funny, but being that most of us are in our mid to late 20's and those that have finished college and gotten married and are ready to start a family it only makes sense why so many are pregnant.

9. Really hoping that the weather will change soon, the cold and rain and then sun and warmth are so hard for my sinuses to get used to. I have had far too many sinus infections through the winter. Dr. says if you are prone to having sinus infections being pregnant only increases the chances.

10. Going to the Dr. Next week, Hopefully by then he will be able to tell us exactly when we can have our ultra sound to find out the sex... then we can all start shopping (me mainly from the clearance rack of course :)

Bonus- We are on a very tight budget and therefore unable to get our moms a big expensive gift, but I think what we are going to do will be far more special... Or at least I hope it is!

Deal Alert!!!

I love that now so many people are now into the coupon clipping. My customers love to tell me where they get the best deal and I just soak it all in :) Here is one:

Does Anyone have A Buzz Lightyear fan? or a fan of games? Heck how about a momma that wants a gift you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for? Drew isn't necessarily a fan, but I got it for him anyway (not sure if we are giving it to him for Easter or saving for his Birthday in December)



Here is the deal...
It's Buzz Lightyear Operation (Retail value $14.99-$21.99) on sale at Stateline Walmart for $5.

With this deal you don't even have to drive to Post Falls to do this, just let me know if you want it and I can purchase it for you.

Then I will Go to coupons.com to print you $3.00 Off coupon. (which means you get a $15.00 game for $2.30 with Tax) PLUS...

After the purchase you go to hasbro.com and print your mail in form for your free pizza (up to $7.01 value)

So in turns you get pizza and a game for free :)

Let me know if you are interested ASAP (there are about 10 games left).

Random Facts...

- Today Mike and I took Drew to meet Greg Biffle. Most of you don't know and/ or care who that is, but I am going to tell you anyway :). He is a NASCAR Sprint Cup Driver AKA Big Time Race Car Driver!! I still remember Chad Little (NASCAR driver from the 1980-90's) So I felt it necessary to give Drew the same experience. Oh yeah and he loved it, He brought a picture to be signed and hardly would let it go, he also got a picture taken with him.




- I am kinda starting to get some morning sickness... so far it's more in the evening and brushing my teeth. Could be worse, and well honestly I am kinda expecting worse, so if I only end up with this I will be just fine.

- Still have made little to no progress in my spring cleaning goals or even my wedding/ bridal thank yous. Feel really guilty about it, but still eventually they will get done.

- Finally starting to get 30+ hours at work, which is nice. We are going to really work on getting as much of our debt paid off before baby b gets here.

- I know 14-15 people pregnant all due between May and December. Most of them are from work, 9 to be exact, I just wish most of them were due sooner rather than later so I can get my baby fix :).

- It's official Charlotte refuses to say my name, or any form of my name. She is now the second one of my nieces/ nephew to say Mike's name before mine. Last week I had bought Drew a few shirts at work so Mike and I stopped to drop them off, he stayed in the car as we were in a hurry to get somewhere. As Dana and I were chatting on her way to the mailbox, Charlotte started yelling "MI, MI, MI" and I replied "bye, bye" thinking that is what she was saying, when I realized she caught a glimpse of Mike. She was saying Mike not BYE! GRRRR I knew he was by far her favorite, but even today we were scrolling through pictures and she named almost everyone except me and Pee-paw (who she called Mike). She even say Boboly (Brodey)... I will get over it when the baby says MOMMA first (Fingers and Toes crossed :)

- Everyone Knows I love my free stuff (as Does Dana & Yes her glasses are really cool, I am jealous being I need new ones and would actually wear them :) I know that "my" Walmart is out of the way of most of you, but if you are ever in the Stateline area and need clothes for your selves or kiddos we 3/4 of the time have a rack or 2 for $1 or $5. I get lots of good deals there, especially after holidays...

- Also I have talked to a few of you about the coupon clipping thing (which I am getting pretty good at) Last week Mike and I got 3 boxes of cereal, 3 boxes of pop tarts and 2 gallons of milk for $6. Yes $6 that is a savings of almost $30!!! I am willing to teach all those interested in how to do this, Unlike the class that is charging $20 (per person), I will do it for free. I am waiting for final confirmation for Walmart in Ponderay if they will honor Ads from stores in Coeur D Alene. Once you get the hang of it, you will be amazed at how much money you can save :)

- Mike and I have been talking about possibly looking for another church, not that we don't love the one we are in, we just feel like we need to meet more people down here and it is very hard to do in a little church. We don't have many close friends anymore as moving away from everyone has made it very difficult to keep strong relationships. Don't get me wrong we have our friends (which we never see) and A.J. And Dana, but we also need more friends. Oh well I guess when the time is right we will meet more people.

- God has been so good to us, we are truly blessed.

- Baby is 10 weeks (and some odd days), only 10 more weeks before we can find out if Baby B is going to be the cutest little girl in orange or the cutest little boy in Orange :) and Yes you heard right Orange is my favorite color and I plan to dress my baby in orange no matter the sex :) BTW: I did buy a SUPER cute Orange and white outfit with Monkey's (which also happen to be my favorite :)

- Micah Officially got a job!! Yeah for us and getting some extra money for Bills (we raised his portion of rent since he is not in school).

- Racing season is officially upon us, The Late Model is not done yet, but we do have another month. Wednesday Night Fever AKA White Trash Wednesdays has been cancelled the past 2 weeks :( oh well, maybe next week.

- Tonight was leftovers / cereal night for dinner. Which is my version of I am too tired to make dinner and there are not enough leftovers for 2 so Mike eats left overs and I eat cereal (which is better than popcorn - I think ) My husband is so good on days like today when i don't want to make dinner :).

- Get to hear the baby's heart beat Friday, totally will be awesome.

- That's all for now...
