Comforts for Baby and Toddler

I am going to be receiving a FREE comforts package from www.Bzzagent.com! I am so excited to see what is going to be in my package! I actually already use these products from my local Kroger store. I have used their products on both my children.

I have a very high opinion of their diapers, I use the size 5 Comforts for Baby right now on my youngest child. I have used a variety of brands, from the pricey ones to the cheapest I could get my hands on. Being a "frugal" person you tend to try things out to see which is the best deal in the long run, which one works best, and compare your findings. Comforts is a good price, at least $10 less per package over the leading Name Brand. I haven't had issues with them leaking other than if someone (to be unnamed) doesn't change his diaper before bed and he wakes up wet on the sheets. And if this does happen (which is not often) it really isn't much on the sheets or him. This actually happened today. They are very durable and I trust their brand of products. I use the wipes too.

The wipes have a great smell or you can get unscented if your child has a allergy. There are other options like getting the sensitive wipes and such. JUST like the leading name brands. BONUS they are WAY cheaper! When your a mom of 2 going to college in her 30s, with a hubby in school and working too, you will see what you can do to have a balanced budget.

I also have used their Toddler products in the past as well. I have to say I am a Kroger brand kinda girl. I really honestly can not tell the difference in A LOT of their products. I highly recommend you give them a whirl! and on that note...

Family, and more

SO I am sooo excited today! My bestie in OH is having a GIRL!!! YIPPPEEE!!!! You know me I can't pass up a great deal, I knew we had a bunch of mark downs at Old Navy. So of course today I scored, 8 oneies, 1 pair of shorts, and 1 pair of leggings (and a pair of clearance earrings for myself) for less than $9!!! WOOT SCORE!

I am so excited to send them to her. I love buying girl cloths, sometimes I wish they were for me, BUT I would NEVER trade my boys ever! They are so sweet and happy kids. So for now I am more than happy buying girl cloths for friends. I am no where near ready or evening thinking of any more. Frankly we are not even sure if we want anymore than two. With both of us in school, Noah in (possibly) two sports this year, a two year old that is into everything, and the in laws here. Its just not in the cards for us at this point. I am thankful that not to many people are on the "occupy my uterus" bandwagon.

So do you have people that have that issue with you? I know a good friend of mine just blogged about this the other day (sorry it just came to me I am not snagging I promise!)

See when I found out I was pregnant with Noah, my cousin "L" and "B" were both preggers at the same time. All boys that go around. Found out about Gabriel, again "L" and our cousin by marriage "S", 2 boys and a girl. So when "S" popped up preggers awhile back (she is a few months old now) "L" and I both freaked out and were like "you can stay away from me NO way I want another one right now!" It seemed to run in our family in 3's. With the addition of "S" that made 20 great-grandchildren in our family! WOW! I have 13 first cousins and 18 second cousins! I have quite a LARGE family! Other than 2 that are not of age of my first cousins, my cousin "P" just found out that his wife is expecting! Here comes #21! So he is the last of the "of age" crowd to have kiddos. They are still in grade school, so NO kiddos coming from them any time soon!

Well I was going to write more but my meds have kicked in for my shoulder. I have been in a lot of pain today which stinks!

that is all...

Holy catfish!

So Friday while at Old Navy I found a pair of jeans for $.97! Woo hoo! Then today I found 5 pairs of shoes, 1 jacket, and a nail polish for $9.05! Woooo hooooo!!! Super score for me and the boys!

While some of you know I work there (all things said in my blog are my own personal opinion not to be confused in any way with Gap, Inc.) I was lucky and found these great markdowns! Not an everyday thing! A few months ago a ton of girl boots got marked down to like less than $3 each. I purchased a few pairs for my nieces as gifts for later. I love when I find good deals and can put things away to give later. The shoes I got today are for summer some for this year and some for the next. For $1.47 or less I think I can splurge a smidge and get them a few pairs.

Before I started working there last summer I was shopping in the clearance section (my fav spot in any store) and found a pair of sandles without a tag. So I was like I will just see how much they are, they were from the season before and were $.47! Um yes I will take them! At the time I was shopping for more work shirts (black or white).

I'm super excited about the jacket. It was from last season and it's nice! I needed a nice jacket that looks more professional when I start my clinicals next year. Which I have to be on the look out for dress pants to go on sale too. I am in desperate need of bottoms for clinicals. I found out no leggings, no denim (duh), and no crop pants. Crap leaves me with 1 pair of pants and 1 skirt. I have 4 pairs of nice Express Stuido dress crop pants, but not allowed to wear them to clinicals. So I am going to have to expand my wardrobe a bit. I have enough tops to wear (maybe a few more if they are a good deal). So anyone find any super awesome deals lately?

I got 3 iPhone/iPod/iPad cables for $1 each from a websites flash sale one day. Sweet! Same place I got Noah a batman remote controlled car and a few other things.

Speaking of deals I need to call and see what the F is up with my mother in laws gift card. I ordered on 12/14/11 and I still don't have it. Called them several times. Need to call again in the morning and give them an earful.

Well my back is now saying its had enough and time to go to bed. Sooooo

That is all...

Pain Sucks!

Today is the second day that I'm stuck laying down because of back pain. So my in laws helped me by handing me all the Christmas stuff so I could put it all away. We love to look at it all but I'm sure happy to reclaim my house back.

While I was bringing in the boxes from the garage I meet one of our new neighbor's. They started to move in yesterday. They were having a good time last night. Hope it's not a habit and it was just for the New Year. The people behind us were shooting off fireworks last night and scaring the shit out of Molly. Poor dog she probably won't go outside at night for a month now (at night). She was either shivering next to me or hiding in the closet last night. After the 4th of July she wouldn't go outside at night for a month. She was too scared. Don't blame her one bit. My poor sweet baby girl.

As I type my mother in law in helping me clean the house by vacuuming. I so glad for her help the last few days. Especially with the boys. I shouldn't be lifting up on Gabriel when my back is like this. That way I don't hurt myself more.

I'm going to take a nap now. So on that note

That is all...

Trying this sucker out

So as I lay in bed in tons of pain today I'm trying to play with my iPad. I was reading my friends blog book which I have previously mentioned and it makes me think of me when I was in her shoes while pregnant.

I remember feeling weird about becoming a mommy. Both times. Noah was kinda planned and Gabriel was completely planned. Which to my dismay several people were not happy about me having one child let alone two. I love my boys and wouldn't have it any other way. Do I want anymore? Um I don't know, because we are not sure if we want a third or fourth. No hiding it I have always wanted a girl. I think their cloths are so cute and would love to have the relationship with my daughter that I have with my mom. We talk almost everyday sometimes multiple times a day. Even if it is just for a few minutes. My boys are so sweet, Noah tells meant times a day that "I'm the best mommy ever" or "your beautiful mommy" (heart melt every time) so when I say I wanted a girl I say that lightly. I have the two most wonderfully wonderful boys. Gabriel is so sweet and one happy kid. He is always smiling even when he knows he isn't suppose to be getting into this he shouldn't be getting into! He is a toot at times.

He still refuses to say momma on a regular basis, again stinker. I know he can he just won't. His new thing is he wants to say "huh" for everything. It's sooooooo annoying! Every time I say something to him he says huh, argh! So ready to be able to understand him more.

I'm so glad Noah likes school right now and hope that he will continue to like it as the many years we have of school left. I know this is his first year and we have 12yrs left plus college. I did enjoy school while I was in grade school. I did not like college the first go around. Maybe because that degree wasn't for me. I however seem to be enjoying my classes last semester. I think patho will be interesting this coming semester as well.

Well I have seemed to have rambled on instead of staying on point about just trying out the blogger app. So on that note

That is all...

Interesting Day I would say

I really miss blogging. With my work schedule and kids its really hard to find time to write.

I am sitting here talking to my friend who just recently published her first book. I got it the other day and have been readying it. She is one funny lady! A lot of the things in her book and blog I can relate to, I have two boys too! When I found out that I was having a boy, I freaked a little bit too. I had sisters! I was like what am I going to do with a boy?! Don't get me wrong I LOVE my boys more than life itself and would do anything for them. Bottom line boys are GROSS! They pee all over the floor, seat, wall, trashcan, counter, you name it, its been peed on in my house! I went to go to the bathroom this morning and REALLY glad I looked before I sat down.... Noah had peed ALL over the seat.. NICE. GREAT way to wake up in the morning! SO normal goings on while getting ready for my shift at work. Go outside, Mike had moved his dads car behind mine AND did not take the trash out this morning to the street. EVEN BETTER morning!

Went to work no big deal, all nice peeps all shift. LOVE it! We seem to have super nice customers :)

While at work found a pair of $.97 jeans. DUH I tried them on and WOOT they fit! They were not free but sure were close to it! YES! Total score for me! YIPPPEEEE I mean how could I not try them on for that cheap! They were meant to be mine because they were the only one in that size (there were 3 pairs) and they were Talls! hehe

I went to have sushi with my mother in law, 2 of my nieces, and my sister in law after work today. That was very nice, just to sit and chill and be girls! None of us like "real" sushi, raw fish GROSS if you ask me. I had Philadelphia Rolls (cooked salmon and veggies) and Shrimp Tempura (again cooked shrimp and veggies). They were both very yummo!

After that my sister in law and nieces, we went to the Hello Yellow Sale at BBW. Which most of you know that I used to work there for awhile. I wanted to dig and see if I could find anything useful for teacher gifts, etc. I found several and got a few things for myself. I mean HELLO its all WAY on sale ;) Got me some Need a Margarita body wash (sooo love), a mini 2oz of their new one Aruba Coconut, and some wallflowers for the house in Tis' the Season (best Christmas smell EVER). Then we went to tool around JC Penny's for a bit, thought I found some deals and get to the register and it was all WAY more than I thought (about double). So I ended up with some socks for Noah and that was all I got today.

Mailed my extremely late gift to dad and future bride. The funny thing is I addressed the package to P and B Chestnut not even thinking about it. I kinda went blank on her last name so I just said oh well it'll get to them. Then call them on my way home to tell them to be on the look out for it. That's when they tell me the news of them getting married. 12-12-12 They want the boys to be in the wedding. I would love for them to be in it, I am going to have to figure out how much that is going to cost plus, need to know when my finals are for Fall 2012. That date is a Wed not a Sat or a Sun, so its more difficult to figure out.

Pain has been bad lately, tonight isn't so bad. My nightly meds are kicking in so I am going to finish for now. So goodnight, sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite!

that is all...

Finals

I have finals this week and they may be the death of me. 6 exams this week with 2 of them being finals. I had 2 today, one tomorrow, one wed, and 2 on Thursday. And of course I'm sick, great! Mom is coming into town on Wed as well. Working holiday hours this week too. Oy to the vey this is going to be a tuff week to get through.

My hubby however has "dead week" this week at his school, must be nice! I am done with school for the semester on the 13th. I can not wait for a break. Lets hope this week goes by super duper fast!

Off to study and cough on my notes some more.
