Deals and Savings

Everyone is having a hard time these since our economy is shot. I am blessed to have the friends that I have. I buy food for 6 people in my family and eveyone is so picky.  Food is so high these days. But thanks to my friend Robin she has been telling me about Extreme Couponing. It's not hard to do just takes time and effort. Don't expect to save tons when you 1st start. When you 1st start you need to start collection coupons for a few weeks and do one good printable sites, such as southerensavers.com , couponmom.com and coupons.com. Just to name a few. I like like southernsavers the best because they have a list of all the stores sales what they have on sale and what coupons to use to make it even cheaper. They also have some printables for the sale items on that page you can use them with store or manufactures coupons.

Now For more deals for those who have children.  I have the best insurance agent in the world, she is alway telling me about deals that she has found. Here is the one far Macaronikid.com. On this site you will find a bunch of activities. to do with your kids, that are free or cheap. I haven't used any yet because I am new to the site. I have gone on there a looked at the deals and most are really good.

I hope this helps out. Please enjoy

Just Writing

Nothing really going on to heavy, basic everyday stuff.  Yesterday was Sarah's I.E.P. meeting. I don't really remember what that stands for. Basically a meeting I kinda hate going to. What it is Sarah has a learning disability in math,just like I did when I was her age. She makes pretty good grades other than math. It isn't just for math, but that is why she is in it. I had too meet with all her teachers even the ones she isn't having trouble with. She is slaking a little bit. She has been falling asleep in class. Which has been going on a while but has gotten worse in the last 2 weeks.. I write about that later. The meeting wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.

Every thing is as hectic and busy as always.  Hannah had play rehearsal today, which caused her to be sore.  She attends the same middle school as I did, which is weird to have to go back there, it is so different.  They are doing Alice in Wonderland.. She the rear end of the Caterpillar. and her small speaking part is one of the cards. She can really care less weather it's a large or small part she loves being in plays. The kids also had Wednesday night youth at there church. Tomorrow I have to take Hannah to school in the morning to practice for Orchestra and another rehearsal. They always have activities involving school or church.. I am so glad it keeps them out of trouble.

I am looking for something to do this weekend I am not sure if the kids will be at Gee Ma's or not. I have been staying at home a lot with the kids watching movies. But I am ready to do something.  Next week the kids are out of school for winter break. I am thinking about going to the park and walking since the weather is so beautiful. I haven't weight myself in awhile I am afraid to. I have been eating better but that is about it. I haven't been to McDonald's for breakfast in 2 or 3 weeks. I usually go every Tuesday when I take Hannah to K2O club. but, I have been going a different way to keep the temptation away. My biggest downfall is SUGAR and Breads .. Love Pancakes, Sesame Chicken,  Egg Rolls,Chicken Selects, and Onion Rings, just to name a few. But I haven't had any of that in awhile.  I life with my parents. I usually buy most of the food I have so much to spend and I have noticed how expensive it is to bye healthy stuff.  I try to buy as much as a I can. We all cook but my dad and mom cooks the most.. My mom is addicted to butter so she messes up all the food with butter. I have learned when she cooks I have to think of portion control. I'll load up on veggies which I am sure is loaded with butter too.

That is about it! I hope tomorrow is just as great as today. Thank you God the love and strength you give me each day I am alive.

Bullying

This my youngest Hannah

My daughter Hannah is 12 years old. She's not fat, but has a little poochy belly that she will grow out of. Hannah is very tall for a 12 year old, she gets it from her dad. I think she is close to 5ft 9in. She such a good child. I didn't say perfect, because she is like any child and gets in trouble when need be.  She love to sing even though she isn't the best singer, she don't care. She loud when she talks, because she is having a good time or mad at her big sister. Hannah is talented when it comes to music, she has been playing bass and string bass for almost 2 years and very good.  

I had to list things about Hannah because I am having trouble with why some kids that attend her school love to bully her.  She comes home from school sometimes crying because kids are calling her fat or ugly. It hurts being a mom. All I wanna do is beat the kids up who are hurting her. I know better than that, but it still crosses my mind. I have had to go to school because she was being threatened. It was all taken care of. But I am thinking that one of one if the girls involved are tying to do it again. She has befriended Hannah. But I think there is an agenda. She was telling Hannah that her neighbor thought Hannah was cute and liked her. Here is the weird part, He would text Hannah from that girls phone and wouldn't give Hannah his number or call her. So my mommy radar is FLASHING hard. I have tried talking to her about it but I don't think she is getting it.  

I have tried everything I can think of. If anyone reads this and has any suggestions I am open to anything you have to say. 

Tonight I heard Hannah's phone when off so I checked it.. Her dad will text me at night on her phone, but it was so kid telling her she was ugly and fat.. I was soooo mad. I text back and said excuse me this is Hannah's mom. He didn't believe it until I said will you believe me if I called you or come to the school. Of course he was being a jerk . He said there was nothing I can do it was just words. He said I was just kidding. Grrrr. I am so glad I have good self control or I would be in trouble. I am hoping he don't go to school tomorrow and give her a hard time. I don't feel like dealing with all this again.

February 14,2011

I thought today would be hard, but it wasn't.  I have my kids and they are the greatest loves of my life.  I also think seeing people happy who normally aren't helped as well.  A good friend of mine got a boyfriend, that is special because when I met her last year she had all but give up on finding love. She was married before and that marriage was terrible he treated her like crap, called her names because she had gained a bunch of weight so he thought it was o.k. that he cheated on her, so all she ever thought that no man would ever want he since she gained weight. I am glad she was proven wrong. 


What makes her story so special is she as know this guy most of her life, they had lost contact with one another. He had been looking for her for years. Thanks to her finding his cousin on Facebook they have reconnected.  That gives me some kind of hope that there is someone out there for everyone. So today ended up being a happy day after all. 


Finding happiness is kind of hard but I know in the end it will be worth it. I have also learned that  when I do look for that someone to look at the from the inside out. I know sometimes that can be hard, but that what makes happiness happen.  Also from learning from my past get to know someone better before you rush into a relationship. I tend to move to fast in relationships and not able to get to know the person I am with. I am happy about some of the mistakes I have made because I know I have learned from them. I try to teach my daughters this. It's not easy because they are teens and they look what is on the outside. All teens do that it is normal.


I hope  everyone had an amazing Valentines Day!
