My Breaking Point

I have been meaning to write for a while. I have planned posts, but never got around to actually writing them.

I had planned to write a post about coupons. I have become a bit of a coupon nut.

I had planned to write about my first bike ride since I was twelve, and how sore and out of shape I have apparently become.

I had planned to write about how my sweet, innocent two year old is now throwing tantrums about everything, including that Mommy isn't holding the sippy cup exactly right!

I had planned to write how suddenly my toddler refuses to sleep, especially in her own bed. And about my hours of research and theories, just incase there are any other parents out there who are experiencing a similar situation.

However, after about three hours of sleep (since that is all my sweet and innocent toddler thinks she needs these days), realizing that I am way behind at work and I just CANNOT catch up, and just finding out the me and my hubby will each be loosing part of our life insurance, I just want to rant. RANT! RANT! RANT!

RANT RANT RANT RANT RANT RANT RANT RANT RANT RANT RANT

I will still enlighten all (hopefully) with my coupon post one day soon. I have put a lot of work and effort and planning into that post. I just haven't actually written it yet. I hope you will find it useful when I do.

I probably will not recount my bike ride. Perhaps another bike ride another day.

There will be plenty of tantrums to share with all.

I will definately write about toddler sleep problems VERY SOON. I am sure some out there will be able to relate and it is definately one of the main things on my mind these days.

I will get caught up at work, eventually. I am just not going to stress about it anymore.

And I will go home tonight and look through all of our insurance papers for the original handbook. They are quoting me a clause from a handbook from two months AFTER we got coverage. If the same clause is in the original handbook, fine. I made a mistake. If it is not in the original handbook, I guess I am taking on an insurance company. Woo Hoo!

There will also be posts to come about Facebook, Twitter, Shopping, Money, Fashion and other blogs.

How do you wear high heels, everyday?

I'm a pretty low maintenance girl.  I am happy in my flip flops, jeans and tennis shoes.  However, sometimes that girly side of me kicks in and I want to wear a cute pair of shoes.  Many times, this cute pair of shoes involve high heels. After wearing the cute shoes for a few hours, I'm left wondering ladies...HOW DO YOU WEAR HIGH HEELS ALMOST EVERY DAY? Seriously. I got a new pair of boots for Christmas with a modest heel.  They fit perfect and are super cute.  I wore them to work for the first time the other day and came home with huge blisters on the ball of my feet.  Now I don't have a job that requires a lot of standing and walking. I walk from my car to the office. From my desk to the break room or bathroom and back (2 or 3 times per day) and then back to my car at the end of the day.  And yet, by the time I was hobbling (yes it hurt so bad I was actually hobbling). Yáll is was below freezing outside and I was actually contemplating taki...

Mt. Olive Pickles sent a $.75 coupon in response to my compliment and another $.75 coupon for signing up for their news letter. Tyson sent 3 $1.00 coupons good off any Tyson product. Blixtex sent 3 $.25 coupons. Kellog's Pop Tarts is supposed to be sending coupons for signing up with them, however, I have not received any as of yet.

Another Frugal Friday

It has been a while since my last frugal Friday. We survived summer and found out just how much carpooling could save us! We used the saved money to take the kids to the Knoxville Zoo, Space and Air Museum and The Adventure Science Center. We actually bought a family pass for $90 to the Adventure Science Center so we can take the kids back during the fall, winter and spring. They change exhibits often and truthfully, their “Adventure Tower” is better than any indoor play ground I’ve seen, so it is a good investment in our world. I have also jumped on the “a deal a day” bandwagon. Most people have head about Groupon , where every day they have a deal for a local business. It is usually about 50% off, for food, drinks or service. It seems that *most* of their deals seem to be for food/drinks and salon services, but earlier this year they did have a family membership to the Adventure Science Center for $45 (and yes, I missed it.) Today’s deal is 3 Laser Hair-Removal Treatments for $...
