Positive Charge

This afternoon I went to the van to take Tasha to Piano and to my surprise the battery was dead luckily we have another van (that is really on its last sputter but for some reason keeps on sputtering) And headed over to piano. When her lesson was over we climbed back into the little van and nothing it wouldn't start after a few minutes of trying to get it to acknowledge that I was there we asked Jennica if she could give us a hand, she accepted and off to work we went. Neither one of us had really done anything like this before. But we grinned and pressed on. I did read the directions but come on I completely freak out when they tell you if you do it wrong you could blow something up. And I need to arrive home with all my fingers and toes. After leaving her home I felt empowered and knew I could jump the big van (I had Kyles help holding the cables). So with just a few butterflies in my stomach I proceeded (the hardest part was figuring out how to open the hood) And waa laa With a red here and a red there a black here and a black there we are up and running.
Sorry to toot my own horn.
(but honestly someone has too)

I am so proud of you. Women can do anything!!! See now the next time it goes dead you can jump the battery again. You might want to check and see if you have a bad cell in your battery if it keeps on going dead.

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)
