Let's Think...


Today I thought I would celebrate...
Evaluate your life day.
So bare with me or checkout another site (it could get boring)

I decided to start off with a check off list...
When I was about 12 I knew exactly what I wanted in life so here it goes.

  • to go on a LDS Mission
  • to marry a Hunk √√√ (I think he’s a hunk)
  • Temple Marriage √
  • Family √
  • 12 Kids (I have 6 does that count)
  • To own my own Castle √ (or broken shack)
  • I won’t want for anything (yea right) (maybe when I’m older)
  • To have Riches (do blessings count)
  • Dates every week (with my Hunky Husband) √√
  • To keep my skinny figure (hahahaha)

And the list goes on.

It’s amazing to see what I have accomplished. I have a few changes in my list now that I’m Older like… 6 kids instead of the dozen, Blessings instead of riches (even though money is good), My wants… are for quiet, homework to be done, fighting to cease and kids to obey. And I guess I’ll have to work for my figure. (If I can ever slow down life enough to get to the gym).

I have a great Life with many imperfections but honestly that is what makes life interesting.


What is one thing that you have accomplished that is on your list?

Where do you find these things to celebrate. Although if we would all take a day to re-evaluate our lives a goal or two might get accomplished. So I'm in. Here's to celebrating with you. Re-evaluating my life? Luckliy I got my undergrad. work out of the way (just too bad I can't spell). I would like to get a masters degree, in due time. I am the worst at keeping a diary or scrapbook for the kids. I want to be better at that. This life is too short and we only have one day and thats all we get until the next one so I hope the next one's keep coming so we can always re-evaluate. Hat's off to the thinkers of re-evaluate your life day.

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)
