Today I am taking the girls to a class offered at the hospital to learn what they can and can not do to help when baby gets here. Sad but I have to save my energy for that or I will be in a lot of pain later. I almost started this off complaining about my husband who would rather wake up an hour earlier to go to the gym instead of sleeping and using his energy to put my house back together. You guys don't want to hear about that. Its eating at me soo bad. Anyway I found a couple of things and would like to share.

Today was a pretty good day. I washed 1 batch of clothes. Yep still have a huge pile to wash but at least I got 1 done. Made pizzas with the girls. We like to buy the pizza crust already made but its fun to put all the toppings on it and we really enjoy that type of pizza more then ordering out. I also did a project with the girls. I traced their feet on a piece of paper and cut out shoes from magazines for them to glue on their feets using a paint brush with some papermache glue made it more fun. Sara put every shoe she could fit on her paper and Katie stood inside the lines with hers.

The first day of summer. Not much planned today. I have to finish working on Sara's pinata for her birthday. I didn't like any of the pinata's at the store and couldn't understand why they were charging so much for something that will be bashed in. Of course I decided to make one that is bigger. It wouldn't of been too bad an idea if I would of had more time but I only have a week to do it and it seems like its taken forever to turn hard. With the party being tomorrow I'm starting to freak out.
With me being tired and pregnant still I haven't really been into couponing. Yes I miss it. The rush I get when I get an awesome deal. I just don't feel like dealing with that right now.
Katie graduated from pre-k this Tuesday. I had tears in my eyes when she was up on stage singing. We picked the perfect spot to sit b/c she sat right in front of us. After we went eat at McDonald's her pick and went shopping at walmart with my mom, mother in law and sister in law. They bought her alot of stuff for just graduating pre-k. Last week I found out her classroom has mold and a mushroom was growing in it. The teacher kept filing reports but they wouldnt' do anything about it so I went and told the vice principal about it. All the health problems she has been having may have been caused by the mold she was breathing in for the past 10 months.
This summer I made out a list of the local libraries and what they had planned on different days. We won't go to everything but at least 1 thing a week. Next Tuesday they will have a magic show. Being free of charge I think its nice to have something to do and only have to worry about gas money to get us there. I also want to sign them up for the reading program there. As soon as you sign up you get some free stuff. It starts from birth and up. They offer different programs for different age groups so just check your library. Don't forget to check out your other local bookstores for things to do. Barnes and Noble have different things going on and also they offer a program to earn a free book for reading.

I also checked out when Michaels The Knack will have activities. Alot of them you have to buy the shirts or mugs for the kids to paint on but the mess is not at my house and I like that. They also supply the paint and things to work with so I am game. There are alot of things next month to do for Dad and with fathers day being right there its perfect.

Ok ok I know I don't post enough and I am sure no one reads this anymore. Its like I'm talking to myself lol. I do it all the time and you know you do also. Today marks the beginning of my third trimester. Woohoo almost there. I want my body back and my energy back. I get so out of breath and am in so much pain even after just passing a mop on the floor. It bugs me so much when my kids feet are black. Today I woke up and took a shower and I swear the water smelled funny. I told hubby and watched the news and they say its not to us but then my daughter was brushing her teeth and said the water smelled funny also. So maybe I'm not going crazy after all. It did start giving me a headache while I was in there. While brushing my daughters hair she loves watching the baby move in my belly and I said look I look like santa when I laugh. She started laughing then I couldn't stop laughing. I love the sound of her laugh its so funny and contagious. With our new wood floors in I requested for mothers day those fluffy pink slipper flip flops lol. I just dont' know where to tell hubby they are. I don't shop very often anymore and have not been really looking for them but I would love to have these for the hospital also.

Ok I noticed that my swagbucks was going up even when I wasn't using it and I getting some awesome points while using it so I decided to put it as my homepage. I think I might start cashing it in for paypal money. If you haven't swagged yet you need to get on the bus by clicking the link below. I have gotten many gift cards from amazon and used them to get many things. Ebay is just cheaper so I think I might get the paypal money from now on.

I also uploaded my you data program for my desktop and made a whole .20 cents yesterday. I know not alot but it adds up and it is really easy to do. They pay once a week so no waiting to collect. Every little bit helps right. You can sign up below if you would like to take a turn in earning some money fast quick and very easy. Here

I like this website abcteach and may have to take an idea with me about the cycle of tomato plants since we are growing tomatoes in our garden. Of course some of the tomatoes already started sprouting but I am sure they will keep coming and it will be a good time for them to learn more about it.

While checking out the other site I found this IXL looks like they have some good stuff also.

Was outside watering the plants and found a ladybug for my daughters little bug box. Can't find a ladybug diagram that I like. Who knew they eat other bugs but they dont' live very long. Ok found a pretty good anatomy of a ladybug at this site.

Wow 2 days in the same week, its going to rain. I decided to use my disney movie rewards to buy some pictures. You get 30 pictures for 300 points. I want to get started scrapbooking again even if I have to do 2 pages a week.
Arby's Value Menu looks nice. Many things you can get for $1 so we might be visiting there this Friday after gymnastics. Too bad they don't have chicken nuggets on there. I do wish my kids would eat something else other then chicken nuggets when we go somewhere.

This is one of my favorite websites for the kids to visit. Starfall they can learn to read and think they are just playing. I can trust the site will not mess up my computer either. Big plus for me right now since I just restored the whole thing.

Sara decided she wants a Monsters Vs. Aliens birthday party. Maybe once we go to the store and she sees the other ones I can get her to change her mine to something alittle more girly. She has been watching the movie just about everyday. I just don't have any ideas and can't find much of anything on the internet.

I have been itching to go to the recycling center. I dont' have any coupons and its driving me crazy. I also would love to stop at Suda salvage to see what they have and the thrift shop to pick up some cheap sunglasses since mine just broke and some fat clothes to fit my growing belly. I will try and hold off until next week but not sure if I can.

Wow its been forever since I was on here. I have a full week off this week with nothing much to do but housework. Just mopped and taking a break. We pulled up all the carpet in our house and decided to paint the walls also. So when I say mop its my whole house not just the kitchen. Katie's asthma is still bad. This week its acting up more then normal. Just in case you wanted to know we are having another girl. I think more people are disspointed then we are. I'm just happy she is healthy and wish I could come up with a cute name for her. After naming 2 other little girls its hard to name the third when you can't agree on a name. My newspaper subscription has run out. I don't seem to have time to go through it anyway but I do miss getting the deals. Once baby comes and things are back to normal then I will see about renewing my subscription. Hopefully by then the deals will be better since the economy seems to be getting back on its feet a bit. I noticed even samples are hard to come by now a days. Well on with the good stuff.

Learning:

Found this neat little site called Worksheet library with a couple of free downloads to use. With summer coming up I will have to be ready to keep my childs minds in work mode. Not many people can say their 2 year old can say their ABC's spell her name and her sisters name and recognize them on paper. Make sure when you do look around the site that it says free or you will have to pay. If you sign up for their newsletter they will send you an update. I think its once a week.

Important Constitutional Documents Here There are many other Free things you can get from this site. Look on the left hand side for free stuff to see what they have offer.

TV and movie: I didnt' realize Ugly Betty's last episode was this week. I have been watching it from the beginning and will sure miss it. Can't wait to see this show Daniel finally realized hes in love with Betty. Will she feel the same way?

The Princess and the Frog is such a cute movie. If you havent' seen it yet you really should watch this one. My daughter cant' stop watching it and ask for it often.

I know I am never on here anymore. Even though I am now in my second trimester I still get tired pretty easily. I love naps. Sara is starting to sleep on her own which is helping me b/c I sleep better at night now, without little feet kicking me in the back. We decided that our carpet in the house needs to come up. Katie has been having trouble with her asthma and we hope with the carpet being up it will help not to trigger any attacks. Next month we find out if its a boy/girl. If he is a boy then we have lots to do. I only have pink clothes left from the girls. I plan to take the clothes to the store kid to kid consignment shop. They are picky about alot of the clothes they take but it will help for them just to take some and have a store credit toward the things that I do need.

With us having to pull up the carpet and paint the walls b/c I have been wanting to and why not since the carpet and all the furniture will be out of the room. I need to figure out a way to earn and save some money. My coupon book is a bit behind and with the economy the way it is its hard to find the deals as easy as it was before. I do need to get some ink in my printer b/c it seems like a lot of the awesome deals you would need to print the coupons out for. I have been spending sometime on mylot even though it take a while to add up the money on the site it pays once you get to $10 mark. I also have been trying to keep up with youdata every week. Its only about .10 cents a week but it adds up.

With it being the last weekend of the month I have a ton of coupons that are expiring and I really hate for them to go to waste. I check the coupons for small print stating that you can not use them on trial products if it doesn't have that I check out that section in the store to see what I can get for a really good deal or alot of times for free. Also checking out the family dollar and dollar generals in the area is another good way of getting some great deals. You can't use coupons at dollar tree since they make items a certain count just to be sold there and they would have to give alot of stuff away for free with coupons. I usually make a list of what coupons I have that way I don't have to stand and flip through it. Don't forget about those cereal coupons. Walmart don't have many small boxes of cereal but Winn Dixie does and the coupon usually states buy 3 get $1 off and these boxes are priced at .50 cents each so you pay .50 cents for all 3 with coupon which isn't a bad deal when you have little ones that like snacks in the store these are good to have in your bag.

I found this tip on thriftyfun.com since we are dealing with asthma problems right now I may give this a try. Use plain white distilled vinegar and water, you can use this through the house and it gives you a clean smell. It controls the dust and mold. They have many helpful tips you may want to check out on everyday living.
