yay on getting winnie back!  i'm happy for you!!! 

 

i wish you well on going off the meds.  i'm sure it will get better and once you are done breastfeeding you can go back on.  don't feel selfish if you have to forego breastfeeding - your other kids may need a more sane mommy so it's not just for you.

 

i have a splitting headache.  we are leaving for the pack meeting in about 30 minutes.  i'm so glad it's a pack meeting - very little for me to do.  i just have to show up, gather my kiddos and watch over them, help them present a 1-minute skit, collect money from the fundraiser i ran that was officially over with last friday (i think we raised a good amount - yay!  i know we raised at least $600 plus whatever else anyone gives me tonight plus whatever the bon-ton hands us from their employees selling which was $384 last year altho my sister said that the back of the booklets this year say they won't be available in the store so i hope they are still doing the thing where they split the proceeds made by their employees between all the participating charities!!!).  anyway that's all i have to do - pretty much show up.  i only have to pack stuff for our skit which is easy-peasy and we've already practiced it the last 2 den meetings so it's packed anyway (just a few magazines, pieces of mail and a roll of toilet paper).  that and a water bottle and camera and i'm good.

 

did a ton of shopping today including ordering our dishwasher which i got a very good deal on.  it was $565 plus $99 for warranty (which, yes, i bought because even though they used to say never buy the warranty they warranty looks good and the last 3 appliances i bought all failed right after the warranty that came with them ran out - actually before that and got fixed but then again after so this way we are protected for 4 years).  plus $99 for installation.  i expected the total to be $800 with installation, warranty and tax but my mom had a 20% off coupon for home depot (we bought it at lowe's) and since lowe's takes competitor's coupons, they took it.  and because they are doing the installation - i have absolutely no idea how that is possible but whatever they say!  and as i walked up to the register i asked the salesman if the lowe's card was having a 6-months-same-as-cash promotion and he said no but he'd do what he could.  so he told the customer service lady that i get that deal and she said, no, we're not doing that and he said "home depot is so she gets it" which is totally not true - i couldn't even look the guy in the eye for fear of laughing.  i guess it's because i am so smokin' hot that i got a good deal. it must have been the lack of shower and sleep thingies in the corners of my eyes that made him want me.  or wearing my dress loafers with a sweatshirt lol.  anyway that's done and also a bunch of christmas shopping.  i really need my MIL to tell me what she wants to buy from me for my kids so i know what else i can get.  i'm getting nervous - we are spending cash and it's pretty much gone and i still need to get erik stuff and the rest of my MIL's gifts...

 

i'm glad andrew is helping you out in thinking.  sometimes it helps to have someone else to bounce ideas off of.

 

oops scott needs a towel gotta go

Yay on the easy night! Good job on all you got done today! Great deal on the dishwasher! I dont' think it's bad to get the warrenty at all. I dont' know if they do this but we just found out the Brick (not sure if that's just a Canadian furniture/appliance store) will give you store credit if you don't use your warrenty. We bought our washer there 7 yrs ago so I can imagine the warrenty is up! lol Too bad we didn't know about this before we bought the new load of furniture for this house but maybe I can find some decorative stuff or throw rugs to use with the credit we'd get.

 

Man, my stomach is churning. Not really bad, just really bloated and gassy. yippee.

 

Gotta change a stinky bum.

lol my post was so rambly you'd think i was smoking something.  i meant to say that because we had it installed by them, they are not charging sales tax which saves us $30-$40 and THAT is what i have no idea how that is possible.  i just forgot to finish my thought before!

 

that store credit thing is awesome.  makes you feel like you are not gambling!

 

i just sprayed the inside of my dw with bleach spray before we left.  i forgot to say that even though they had the dw i wanted on saturday by today they didn't have it or even have it as a stock item in their computer so they had to order it from lowes.com but we are not paying anything extra or doing anything different because of it.  however, we may have to wait up to 3 weeks which is no biggie.  worth it to save the $ i'd say - if i'd waited 'til they had it or even waited 'til a more experienced guy was selling it to me (the regular appliance guy was out at the doctor so this was the kitchen cabinet guy who didn't have a clue) i probably couldn't have slipped that 20% coupon by them (my mom said the lowe's in maryland only honored the other one she had for 10%) and i definitely wouldn't have gotten the same as cash deal plus the $99 installation is normally $149 (so really my total should have been $850 so even better!).  and i just realized i never said my final total - it was $649 instead of $850 because of the coupon, lower installation cost and no tax.

 

boy am i scatterbrained tonight!

 

have a good night sara.  i'll try to be on to give you a swift kick tomorrow.  i would love to drill altho i'm not sure i have chat software on here.  but we could drill in posts if you want!

lol, I got your post. Maybe cause I'm so scatterbrained tonight as well. I can't believe how good I'm feeling despite missing 2 days of my medication. 2 months ago, I would have never thought it was possible! Of course, I feel like I'm constantly squinting cause of my head but ah well. It's almost bed time!

 

Tomorrow is just a me and Timmy day. I'm hoping to take care of my card renewals since I only have til Thurs. to really do that. yikes. So, my morning may be taken up by that but I'm hoping in the afternoon, Timmy will nap and then I can work my bum off!

 

Dh and I have a few small things to sort through and I really should deal with the Christmas boxes I pulled out. Only got a few things out but I felt bad doing it without the kids. I have less places to put things cause I dont' have my buffet and cradenza. ack So, I'll have to get creative.

 

Going to deal with the boxes and put them somewhere, out of the way until tomorrow. I gotta lay out the kids' clothes too and mine, that always makes the morning go smoothly yet I hardly do it. Right now, I hate dealing with the girls' dressers as they still have some stuff piled in front. I'm tired of not having a single room finished! There's is the closest to completion so I should just deal with it and make life easier. No wonder I have piles of their clean laundry in my room, needing to be put away. lol

 

Off I go!
