Oh. My. Gosh. It's 2008 and I haven't posted. And some free stuff.

Well, it's 2008 and I've managed to successfully NOT post yet. I mean, seriously, my last post was Christmas. That's sad. As cliche as it may sound, things have been crazy busy lately!!

We had a great stay in St. Louis seeing family and friends. There was a lot of driving, shivering and laughing. Not necessarily in that order.

Happy Birthday to Carissa and Chris. Sorry I didn't give you a shout out while I was home, but you know the drill. :-)

It was Lorelai's first Christmas and I don't have a single picture of her in front of a Christmas tree. Mom of the Year - vote for me! She also turned one. One. ONE!! Are you kidding me!? I just gave birth to her. She CAN'T be one!

What's even more surprising....she ate her cake like a dainty little Southern Belle. I was so disappointed. She practices her fast-pitch with fig newtons on a daily basis, but when it came to 30 onlookers and lots of cheering, she hammed it up for the whole 20 minutes. I can't blame her though, who doesn't like a captive audience?

Lorelai also went back and did a little refresher course with Chuck (Infant Swimming Resource) and I'm happy to report that she didn't forget a thing! Go ahead, throw her in the pool. She's all over the saving-yourself-if-you're-drowning thing.

After the 20 hour drive back home (bru.tal.) JD had A day to get all rested back up for school. That's right. After five months, your tax dollars are finally back at work. He started school yesterday and I've seen him for a total of 2 hours since then. Looks like P.A. School will now have the luxury of taking care of my husband nearly 20 hours a day for the next year. I will still cook for JD, clean up after him and occasionally give him a kiss goodnight, but P.A. School will be his mistress. I'm okay with that, though, he could be deployed like the some 20 women I know whose husbands are in harms way daily while they're having babies/taking care of babies/waiting for their husband to be home to TRY to have babies. I'm certainly not complaining.

Hopefully I'll be getting on a much better routine around here. That should mean that I'll have a more regular blogging routine as well. Priorities, y'all. Don't ever check my baseboards when you come to visit, but my blog will be updated, dagnabbit!

Now how about some free stuff?

Kashi Coupon
$2 for 1 coupon
Kashi products are sometimes on sale for around $2.50, so this coupon would make it $0.50. That's one heck of a deal for healthy snacking!

Free Peanut Butter
This Sunday, you should find a coupon for $1.00 off any size Peter Pan Peanut Butter. The price at our wal-mart is under $1.00, so that means FREE PEANUT BUTTER!
I buy five Sunday papers and have no need for all five jars of peanut butter, so I'm going to donate them to the local food pantry. Free peanut butter AND generous giving. It feels good to do something nice for someone else!

Free Huggies Wipes
The Huggies wipes deal is still going on. At our Target here in town, 40 pack travel pack wipes are on sale for $1.47. This coupon will give you $3.00 off two Huggies products. Do your math and Target owes you $0.06. So, pick up a few items to make up for the overage. I have cleaned out many a Target so far and have had no problems. I now have over 40 packs of these wipes. Those of you getting ready to have babies....expect some wipes in your baby gifts!

Wipes are not only good for babies and children. They are great for taking off makeup, cleaning up your hands after a yummy hot-wing dinner, etc. So, don't think you can't use these!

Eddie Bauer - Great Deal!
Use this code NPSTRCLS and get $10 off your purchase....no minimum !!!

If you take advantage of any of these deals or know of any other deals, please leave a comment and share with us!!! If I don't hear that you're interested in this free stuff, I'll stop listing it! (that's not a threat, it just saves time if nobody is interested)
