Did someone say coupons?!?!?!

I've been neglecting my coupons. I haven't gotten a free sample in the mail since before the holidays. I feel sad.

No, really. I like coupons. I do consider it one of my hobbies. I feel like a little part of me is missing when I haven't made time to file, clip and shop. I actually made time today, which makes me happy. The laundry didn't get done, but my coupons are clipped for tomorrow!

I have to relearn (yet again!) how to make time for myself. Between work, kids, marriage, Girl Scouts and family time, I don't make any me time. I have been working out more, but only an average of twice a week. And that kinda sucks too. I think I've made my new goal to make time for myself at least every other day. I think that's a great start.

Here's to coupons and to me!

My workout motivation just arrived last night by the case full. Girl Scout Cookie season is in full swing and I love Thin Mints as much as I love drinking and cursing. So, that's an awful lot. If you'd like to support some awesome little ladies and remove just a small box of temptation from my presence, hit me up. I'd be glad to get you your fix. And maybe I'll let you chase my toddler to burn a few calories. That's what I did this morning.

We've started off this year with a BANG! Well, kind of. I guess? I don't do resolutions. But, I did set new ground rules for behavior around here.  Bella had been getting a weekly allowance since she was 3 for doing chores around the house. Lately, the allure of doing chores for allowance has diminished and the Christmas brattiness had been setting in. I came up with a new plan as of New Years. For every time Bella acts up, has a tantrum (apparently she hasn't outgrown these) or talks back, she loses a toy. I keep a big box in a storage area to put them in. For each day she completes her chores (usually only on Wednesdays and Sundays), she gets to get a toy back. Plus, at the end of the month, if she had done her chores and hasn't lost too many more toys, she gets an allowance. She seems to like this idea so far and hasn't lost many toys this year yet.  As for her brother, he's still too little to understand a lot of rules. But, we do make him pick up h

I feel like...

That episode of Sponge Bob where  Sponge Bob and Patrick are selling chocolate bars and that one crazy fish dude is chasing them and yelling "Chocolate!" I'm the crazy fish dude. But I have an accomplice. I guess hump day really needs to happen...... If you know what I mean.
