I'm back...

ok so i had a little bit of a break cause i feel overwhelmed with life lately. i don't know why, probably with the buttload of work going on in our living room. i'm so over having my living room in havoc! we laid our hard wood floors over four days (in two sepearte weeks) and we painted the walls the same way (but we're not done yet). so everything is dirty, crazy and disorganized! grrrr...and i'm still battling this extreme fatigue. no mater how much sleep i get at night i still have to sleep for hours in the afternoon. it's frustrating cause i can't get anything done because my body literally shuts down at one and i HAVE to sleep! i hate it.....hate hate hate it. i personally still think it's my thyroid and i need to go to a specialist. (i had it checked but they said it was normal, but....i'm 6'0" and my normal is not everyone else's normal) anyways, that's my vent for today.
oh wait, i have more. i know i want to be a cosmetologist, BUT....i swear a criteria for being a hair dresser is to be deaf and dumb. i took zander to get his hair TRIMMED up around his ears and neck. CAUSE I LOVE HIS CURLS!!!!!!!!!!! i even said i just want a "minimal trim" MINIMAL! hello?! poophead. so needless to say, zander ended up with a ridiculously short hair cut again. stupid hairdresser. i guess that's what you get for using a coupon on a hair cut! hahaha...(yeah i'm that cheap)
now i'm going to cheer cvs! LOVE CVS! last week i got 8 packs of diapers for $3 out of pocket. hahaha....love it. and the week before that i got three packs for $1.50. can i get a "woot woot!"
today i did two cvs runs and i got: 4 - Herbal essence shampoos and conditioners, 2 18ct. Alavert, 1 men's 24/7 deoderant, and 2 skin effects face washes all for less than $5 out of pocket. it should have been closer to $3 oop (out of pocket) but i screwed something up on one of my coupons. anyways, let's do the happy dance!
well it's time for me to bring you into my life of coupons....my small group got to see the 'folder' for the first time ever....they laughed. i have a 3 ring binder with baseball card holders in it and they are completely filled with coupons all arranged by catagories. my grocery bill for the month has been cut by over $100 by doing my excessive couponing. i always have $35-$40 worth of coupons each time i shop. then combine that with in store ads (usually around $65 worth of savings) and i usually end up with close to $100 off. :) happy dance again! hahaha....so for a family of four, including all baby food and diapers, is approximately $50 a week. pretty good right? :) and that's tolietries and household products (cleaning, etc) too! i know, i'm the bomb. and for you who don't live in cali, i'm sorry...they double coupons here and it's FABULOUS!
alright, enough about me.
ronan is getting three front teeth at once...blah. zander keeps saying funny things that makes me laugh. i was getting ready for church and i hear from the living room "HHHEEELLLLOOOOO!!!! HEEELLLLLOOOOO!!!!!! BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGER!!!!!!!!!" yes, my boy had a booger on his finger and expected me to come running to remove it. love him.

That was a bit random. I have a few questions...
1. Where did you go to get away?
2. Can we see a picture of Zander?
3. Where do you find good coupons?
