E.A.R.S.

Earrings Are Real Scary!
Callie has had her ears pierced for sometime now at least a couple of years. And has hardly had problems with infections. We bought this pair of earrings about a week ago and she put them on around that time. Today after school I was patting her head a noticed her ears were infected but when I tried to take them off there was no back to the earring. The back was embedded into the skin. I took her to the after hours clinic and they took one look and sent me on may way saying they won't even touch them. So off I went to the E.R. and a few hours later we left with two stitches one in each ear and a new pink pen that the doctor promised Callie.
What a trooper!
She cried so hard when they were poking and prodding it was all I could do to hold it together.
All she wanted was her Dad (he is in Mississippi on a business trip) and for her mom to hold her which I did the moment the Doctor was done.

I would also like to give a shout out to those who helped with giving my kids a ride to Scouts and Young Women's. My kids appreciated not being stuck at home or worse the Hospital.

aaaah ... ?? what kind of earrings are they? That is my worst fear for Brielle. I do not want that to happen to her. Poor Callie. So are her ears still pierced? Or is the hole going to be closed up?

I guess I will have to talk to you about it later.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann...

My last trip to Albertson's turned out to be the best! Yes, I know you are sick of me posting about shopping but I had a few of you ask.. How I do it? I ended up spending $1.77 for what you see in the picture. You ask how? Albertson's Ad had two double coupon certificates in their ad where they would double up to 3 manufacture coupons per certificate. There are a few sites I continuously go to print off coupons they are... Betty Crocker Coupon Cat Pillsbury Albertson's had a sale when you bought $30 worth of certain items you would get 3 $5 dollar coupons for your next purchase. I grouped all my coupons together to try to get the best deal I could. The first time I purchased it actually cost me $17 something but I had $15 for a next purchase. The trick was to get 6 $1 coupons which equaled $12 +$15=$27 ....out of pocket=$3 and then 3 more $5 coupons would print out and you beg your neighbor friends or anyone you can for more double coupons and go back I pretty much lived ...

Yesterday we had the Opportunity to meet the Author of FableHaven and CandyShop Wars Brandon Mull. When he got there he answered questions and was very personable. Then he started signing books and individually answered questions. He also had a few questions for us. He also signed posters for all the kids. (I have no idea what were going to do with 6 posters) (Maybe with the underlining message my kids will enjoy reading) The line was longer than we expected but we were there pretty early and had a chance to be 4th or 5th in line. (if my kids would have just got in line while I was taking kids potty) (I'm glad we got there when we did) Overall a great family (education) moment. (Yes, Mom I got your copy signed as well)
