I am very much looking forward to my vacation this weekend. Rich is taking time off work from Thursday lunch through Tuesday. So that adds up to 5 1/2 days in a row of being home and spending time with me and the kids. I did say MY vacation, too, since we will be farming out the kids for several days in there as well. AR will be headed to Rich's parents and James to my parents from Friday to Sunday. Then we will drive to Greenville and drop them off at my sister's house where they will have tons of fun with their cousins for a couple days, and we are staying with some old friends in the area. Rich and I are both looking forward to a break from the normal routine. My 26th birthday is on Saturday, so we will also celebrate that during the time. Yay for generous family that is willing to give us a break!
Last night I saw an ad for a new Secret deodorant that is waterproof. The line they used said, "Keeps working in heat, humidity, and water!" I was like, okay, so all your other deodorants did not work in the heat or humidity or when wet??!! Wow, what good to me is a deodorant that only works when you're not hot or sweaty? If it doesn't work in the heat and humidity or when I start to sweat, it's basically useless to me, especially here in Charleston. So, either all their previous deodorants are crappy and useless, or they are just trying to sell something new without it really being new at all. I just thought it was crazy, and I hope people don't see it and think that it's some great new product.
This pregnancy has been really great so far. I have rarely felt very bad, and have only have a few waves of nausea a day and sometimes none at all! I am hungry a lot and am able to eat normally. With all of my previous pregnancies, I was very nauseous and sick for the first trimester, could not eat much at all, and usually lost at least 5 pounds during the first 15 weeks. It is so strange that this time around it is so different. But, hey, I'll take it, especially with two crazy kids keeping me busy all the time. If anytime I needed an easy pregnancy, it's now. I was hoping maybe it meant I was having twins, but that's been ruled out. Oh well, I'm just happy for one healthy baby and that I'm not sick!
I am trying to get better at couponing, but it is hard. I feel a little overwhelmed trying to keep it all organized and figuring out what I should buy, because you can't buy EVERYTHING that's a good deal! I've read all the info, watched videos with all the things I need to know and lots of good tips, but actually getting it together every week is daunting. I have been able to do a little, but I know I could do much better. I usually save around 50%, but that's because I'm mostly buying BOGO deals, so it doesn't really say much for my couponing skills. I am working on it, though, and I will update with any progress and success. If you have any tips, please feel free to share!
