Stir Crazy

Ta and T.G. were both sick over the weekend. Ta started running a fever on Thursday night, and didn't get better until Saturday. T.G. started running a fever Saturday, and even vomited Saturday night. Thankfully I was able to find a substitute to teach Sunday School for us yesterday since we had to stay home.

It's been a rough few nights of sleeping. Ta has been waking and coming in our room, and if he's not quiet about it, he wakes Th, too. Last night it was the four of us all crammed together in our bed. I got so frustrated with being kicked in the belly, (Ta refused to sleep with his head on the pillow- he was sleeping the other direction) I finally got up and went in his bed. I have probably only been getting about 5 hours of sleep per night, and I woke up this morning with a killer headache. I am hoping a shower, some coffee, and some Tylenol will help.

We were supposed to go over to a friend's house this morning to play, but she had to cancel because she's been battling headaches the past couple of days. So, I'm not sure what we'll do today. As crazy as this may sound, I don't really feel like going to the pool. It is so much work to get everyone ready! Plus, we are having some friends over on Thursday to go swimming, so I am hoping the kids can wait until then. We went swimming 3 days last week, and I literally have to get everything together the night before in order to keep from losing my mind the day of because the kids get so excited.

I was thinking of going to the park, but we're going tomorrow with the MOMS Club to meet/greet potential new members. I don't want to wear off the novelty, although Th has been begging to go to one particular park in town that we have not been to since he was almost 2. Now that Ta can ride his bike by himself pretty well, I may load up the bikes and head over there so they can play and ride a bit before lunch and before the main heat of the day. We'll see how my head feels after my shower. I just know we can't stay home all day- we did that yesterday because T.G. was sick, and the kids, especially the boys, are going crazy with being home!

Have a great day!

Thursday Thirteen #3

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 jobs I have held. . . 1. Special Olympics Swim Coach Best job ever and very rewarding! 2. Preschool/Youth swim instructor My first job (I volunteered until I got hired on at the Y, then I was paid.) 3. Lifeguard This was my first paid job. 4. Crew Chief/aircraft mechanic on the KC-10 I loved it- I saw the world on this plane and pushed myself the farthest mentally and physically I ever have or ever will again. Of course I missed my family and friends, but if I had to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. 5. Debrief personnel I talked with aircrews after they landed about their flight/mission. I learned the logistical side of flying. 6. Tool Crib personnel I gave the mechanics tools for various jobs needed to fix the airplane. I also inventoried and ordered new tools, and that was fun. Until this job, I had no idea that tool companies have a representative drive around in a truck full of tools for people to use and try. It was during t...

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 Reasons to live in SC. . . 1. Mild winters- it only snows about 1 time per year (unless, of course, you live in the mountains, although I don’t know how much snow even falls there). The average temperature hovers around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. On a cold day, it may drop into the low 40s. On a really cold day, it may be in the 30s, but those are few and far between. 2. Hot summers- summer is my favorite time of year. I love to swim, as do my kids, so we spend a lot of time in our pool. We also like to travel to the beach (we went 3 times last summer!) 3. Friendly people- most everyone waves as you drive down the street. Also, gathering in the warm summer evenings on the front porch is common and a great way to meet new people. 4. Sweet tea- I know you can get this in any Southern state, but I live in SC and that’s why it’s on my list! 5. Peaches and Strawberries- these are the main fruits grown in the part of the state where I reside. I love fr...

Couponing

As you probably noticed, I added a new ticker to the top of my blog. I have recently started to be more diligent with my use of coupons because of the fact that we will soon need to buy a larger vehicle.  We do not currently have a car payment and would like to keep things that way, but quite honestly, we don't have the cash saved up to pay for a vehicle in full (at least not enough cash for a newer vehicle). My goal is to save $2,000 by the end of January 2012. That equates to a savings of about $250 each month. I have always used coupons if I had one, but never really made an effort to maximize my savings potential. Until now. And it's awesome!!! I wish I had started sooner because the savings available are crazy. I love the feeling I get when I save 50% or MORE on foods and items we use every week. Our grocery bill is typically $80-$100 per week or $320-$400 per month. That seems high but considering we're a family of 7, that averages out to about...
