Pampers coupon in Brandsavers

Here's to hoping someone gets the brandsavers coupon guide this weekend and doesn't need the pampers coupons in it. I would love to take them off your hands.

We got bad news this week from hubby's work and he is laid off on April 26th. He said he will take part time but it's less shifts and no benefits which really SUCKS, especially because we are a family. We always find a way to manage, as hard as it gets at times, so I know somehow we will come out on top and survive. Just a waiting game until more full times open. Downside is that there are a few people above him in seniority who also got the cut, like my mom. She is on a cruise though and doesn't know that she is layed off. Sucky way to come home and find that out, and I know she'll ask when she arrives home, I have her notice here so I think i'll give her the envelope as she drops me off. She is a strong lady and I know she will be alright too as she will also tell them to put her in the part time pool (above hubby though as she has more hours). Cutting hours like this sure sucks. I use her van when she is working and now it won't be anything consistant, which will make swimming lessons hard because I know she won't want to work every Friday. At least Brad can take Friday and Mondays off now. I can go back to my program which I miss very much!!!!!! It helps keep me sane in all this chaos.

What a fun week!!!!

We had a great March Break. It started by watching Alex's team be defeated and not caring that they were. Those boys were out on the soccer feild to have fun, not to win the tournament. They came off with smiles, proud that they played hard and had a great time. After soccer ended for the season Alex went trucking. My little trucker loves when he goes with his Granddad on the big truck. They saluted a friend as they drove by and it was greatly appreciated. No matter how old you get, as long as you are a kid at heart you can appreciate when someone blows the horn as they drive by.

Tuesday we went to wallyworld to pick up a few things and stopped at the mall on the way home to eat. It was a hot day out so the kids got muddy in the back yard. Although we didn't get much snow, we did get enough to make mud, lol.

We went swimming at a free swim and it seems that I have yet another fish when it comes to water. Timothy couldn't get enough of the pool, after about an hour in the warm water though he started getting sleepy so it was time to get out, before we left the building he was fast asleep in the stroller again. This was Wednesday. Alex also got home this evening.


Thursday we wandered to the mall to get some things we needed.

Friday the big kids went to the library while the little kids went to breakfast buddies. Free breakfast, crafts and playtime for the morning. Can't complain about that. In the afternoon we had a couple extra friends that the kids wanted invited over. They made ice cream sundae's and had so much fun playing. Definately have to do that again. They had soooooo much fun.

Saturday we went to the mall to see the clowns after the farmers market. They did wonderful face painting and I would love to call them for Timothy's birthday party. We picked daddy up from work and slowly wandered home.

Sunday we went to church, went to timmies for lunch, walked to daddy's work, went to wallyworld again to buy the kids shoes and came home.

Today they WENT BACK TO SCHOOL and we've been taking it easy at home. I'm very tired and hoping that the tiredness goes away soon. Timothy wants to be cuddled all night, which I love, but that means no sleep for mom.

Still Alive

I figure I should make sure peoople know i'm still alive, it's been quite awhile since I last blogged. After this week though no guarantees because of March Break. I have a house extra full all week and it will end up with 9 kids here Friday, I have ALL the kids coming. That will be fun though.

The weather went up for a couple days, a wonderful 15 outside right now. The house is open and airing out again. The kids had a blast outside all afternoon. 2 of the kids are off to daycare with my biggest kid, hehe. I'll be on more later.
