I Coupon

Thanks to a very overly-informative meeting about saving money with coupons I have a new "baby" in my already hectic schedule that requires my full attention. Yes I will be up late and sleeping less with midnight feedings (aka searching the latest sale ads) changing diapers (exchanging expired coupons with current ones) and yes wearing them wherever I go! I am like a new mommy overwhelmed and excited about this new adventure I am embarking on, hoping to save money and stay sane in the process. Who doesn't want to save $ on pads and tampons? I spend at least $10 a month on those! I am bound and determined to get mine for free, no...to have kotex and always pay me to use their product! If they want to be in my panties then by golly I am going to make a profit! I am going shopping with a new attitude, with a new mission, and I will come home with more groceries as well as more money, so I can splurge on things like...holiday coffee creamer.

Look what Ezra is doing Mom!

Don't forward this to PETA! For those of you who are animal lovers "throw me a bone here". We have two fully functioning bathrooms in our house. They, for the most part, are cleaned once a week, the toilets twice. I have two men, one big, one small who insist on relieving themselves anywhere but in the house. My husband would die if he knew I was sharing these "skeletons" in our closet, but I am going to do so anyway. A few days ago the girls were outside with their brother giggling hysterically. Since it wasn't a blood-curdling yelp for rescue or the familiar sound of bickering which I am used to I decided to let them be. Little did I know that Ezra was walking around pants around his ankles peeing right in Rocky's dog bowl. Sophie proceeds to tell me that he does this everyday when they are outside playing. We have always encouraged him to water the plants or shoot for an ant but never to poison our beloved family pet. And you all know how much Rocky means to me. Now I know why the dog would drink from the sprinklers even when his bowl was full. The poor dog was dehydrated; however, according to www.damninteresting.com In June 2001, a Chinese news feed reported that more than three million Chinese people drink their own urine to stay healthier. This practice is called Urine Therapy, and its promoters credit urine with a number of curative powers. Wow-Who Knew!
