Over scheduled and insane!!

I hate Saturdays with a passion. Dave always works on Saturdays...EVERY SINGLE ONE!!!

I try to keep busy and boy did I today!!!

Apparently I have blonde hair, and really? What can I say? "My hair made me do it?"

I made plans with my mom to meet at Babies r Us to get a shower gift. Um, yeah, real smart with THREE kids in tow. They love toys, books, clothes....EVERYTHING!!! Oh, and Kieran said, "Hey mom. They sell beds. I need a bed. My bed is getting old." Good try. No go.

If you have ever shopped a Babies r Us registry you KNOW it is not all warm fuzzy feelings with brisk efficiency. Did I ever mention I love shopping?? BUUUUT, I love shopping when I know where it is, I get it, AND LEAVE. Oh no, not with this store. First they confuse you with Umpteen numbers. "You will find this in section 42." Oh great. Oh lovely....and where may I FIND section 42??? And finally, after reading a MILLION bar codes. I found it!! I hit the jackpot!!! It's on the registry AND cute!!! "Thank God!" I loudly proclaim. I know, I am pathetic. I truly WAS begging God to just help me match those numbers so I could get the heck out of there. Another shopper looked up with a grin on her face and Starbucks in her hand. "They don't make it easy, do they?" Really, all I wanted to do at that moment is rip that Starbucks out of her hands and RUN!!!

We finally get to leave......oh wait, the girl ahead of us got a THOUSAND(you can only say million so many times) jars of baby food....ALL shoved in a bag. She needed to return something else, then buy the food and a few other things... really?? WHO buys food at Babies r Us??? Not even at a good sale price. Well, besides, obviously, her. (No offense meant if you do BTW.)

Next was WalMart to get tissue paper, bows, and a card. Then the Dollar Store since we needed a cute bag, Wawa for a sub, the zoo(whole other story), lunch on the run, and a 12 mile trip that took AN HOUR!!!! Baby Shower for 30 minutes, then off again so my mom could get my sister from work and I could get Dave from work(only 5 minutes late I might add.)

You know what makes me even crazier???? I made cornbread(from scratch) and apple crisp tonight when I got home. Dave can wash the dishes(Actually, he is awesome - he already is.)

Deals, Steals, and Headaches

Starting off....I have a massive headache. You would think all my dealing today would override a headache, and yes, I have an over abundance of painkillers to choose form to ease this thing BUT I hate taking meds....any meds.

So, on to the stealing and dealing. I love taking my husband grocery shopping etc. when I get exceptionally good deals. His common remark when we leave is "Are you sure no one is following us out? It feels like stealing." Don't worry - it isn't.

Today I hit up Superfresh. I am sure their preferred goal was to get me in and get me buying other things....like meat(oh wait, I did), dessert, etc. Their deal was if I buy 1 ragu($2, 1 can't believe it's not butter($2- by the way, I LOVE their cooking/baking sticks), and 1 wishbone salad dressing($2) they would GIVE me 1 loaf italian bread, 1 fresh express salad mix, and 1 box of pasta. You got it - $6!!!!!! So I had coupons for the three "purchase" items - 1.00/2(2) and 1.25/2. I also grabbed a 2# roast marked down to 3.50. Including my extra purchases of sauce, butter, and dressing I came out $12.84. No dessert....OOPS!!!

I know what's for dinner tonight!!!

For lunch I am utilizing my ACME steals - campbells soup at hand and cinnabun snack bar. YUM!!!! I bought ten kelloggs items and 10 soup at hands for $8.40.
