Hoarding...really?

So, I'm totally into the couponing thing. I have my book. I know my deals. I semi know what I'm doing. However, like most you use coupons and search out deals, you sorta have to buy stuff when it is on sale. So, that's what I've been doing. Now, my husband is aging I'm hoarding stuff because I'm buying stuff we don't necessarily need right now. I can't make him understand that we use this stuff and just because we aren't out of it yet, doesn't mean we won't be out of it soon and why wait until then to buy it when its on sale now? He still doesn't get it. Sigh.

Life has been pretty busy lately, but the main thing we have been doing is spring cleaning. Today we bought an antique cedar chest and moved the crib into Veronica's room. We put the cedar chest at the end of our bed and put all of our blankets in it along with my scarfs. Our room looks so much bigger! We are so excited! I am about to start on the Twice As Nice sale. I wasn't going to do it this year but I just have so many clothes that I might as well. I pulled a few pieces out to eBay though.

Last week I picked out my dress for the Seabee Ball. It's expensive and I haven't told Tony how much so I'm not going to post it. LOL But, let's just say every dime I make between now and April 1st is going to have to go toward the dress. :-)

I'm a SAHM too! :-)

So, I'm going to start writing every day in my blog because Lahni said that you can actually get paid if enough people read it. At this point, I don't think anyone reads it (anyone, anyone?) but maybe if I write more - and about interesting things - people will take notice. So, here's my version of my SAHM blog (love ya, Lahni!) - Is it just me, or are these people on My Strange Addiction total freaks? I'm all about people having their weird habits because Lord knows I have mine (dipping baked potato into ketchup is one of them, according to Tony) - but eating couch cushions....really? This chic has been eating them since she was 16 years old and she's 32 now! WTF?! WHY? Eat some chocolate or something...I have plenty, you can have some of mine. Geez. .

Lately, I have been so freaking tired. I think that may be because I haven't been eating much lately. I do not have think I am getting enough vitamins or something. I have decided to start taking my pre-natal vitamins because they do seem to help...so, I didnt get up and around to get to the store until this afternoon. Then Wendy came over so I visited with her for a while. So, I finally got to Wal-Mart around 5:30 p.m. I had to get food for Mama and the kids since we are leaving in the morning for Gatlinburg. After an hour of shopping, I got in line, the lady ahead of me had 101 coupons. I had one. My printer isn't working so that is all I had to work with but that's not the point. Not only did I have to wait for this lady to organize her coupons, etc., I had to wait for her to go to the car to get one she forgot! I mean seriously? I am holding an 18-month-old baby and you have to run to the car? Oh man, I was not happy. I am all about coupons, but I was not very happy at that particular moment.
