| found some great coupons on Coupons.com !!! They're for $$ off milk, cheese and yogurt! any brand! Who would do such a thing? The fine print says (for the retailer) to mail the coupons to the Midwest Dairy Association...ironically in NJ. But I won't complain. I know that coupons.com has legit coupons, so I've printed them and will probably use them soon.
Worked an extra 2 hrs at work today. One of the employees called off - his girlfriend came in with the dr's note/work excuse for the next few days: H1N1 flu...or at least some sort of strain A version. That's the second person I've personally known in the last week and a half with the "swine flu" here in our county.
I am quite excited! This weekend is the season premiere of a fav show of mine! Legend of the Seeker Since I don't have much tv, I'll probably just watch it on the internet. I realize that it's got a different world view than my own (most things these days do) but I guess I like it because it's got fun costumes and lots of good vs evil action! Something about forest friendly fellows and females with flowy sleeves while fighting keep me from frowning. ah, enough alliteration for today. i must adieu to sleep. anyone know if that last sentence with "adieu to sleep" even makes grammatical sense?

| found out that my friend IS pregnant!! YAY! Please pray that this pregnancy of hers goes well! Her first pregnancy ended before the first trimester was over, a sad miscarriage.
Going through the usual bedtime routine...happy joyful T, me reading to him before he goes to sleep, then he continuously interrupts me through the story that he insists I keep on reading, so after the fourth (or fifth?) time of me asking if I should continue, I finally put the book away, as he was not even in bed, but showing me a bike pump that was in his room (apparently he was trying to inflate this cool toy that we bought earlier in the day, some sort of boxing type thing with Mickey Mouse on it). I don't like reading over people or things (now i feel like a teacher talking...lol), so i put the book down and asked him to go to bed. He whined and complained, pouted and threw a pity fit, so here I am in my room, typing away, while he's (finally) in his room with the threat of Cubs Scouts being taken away, and already has had his bedtime for tomorrow bumped up 30 minutes!
Usually I would enforce things sooner, but bedtime tonight is less strict because of the time change. Trouble or not, we still love this fun kid to pieces!
now the routine has gotten to the whining of my name over and over. After a while, it gets louder, and I count the times (to myself) that he calls my name, and last night i think he ended after about the 18th time. I've learned that sometimes silence is the best answer.
Oh, so today was halloween! not too excited about the holiday, but it was my first time trick-or-treating. I took T around town a bit, and to a nursing home, and also the dr's office that had a young-kid-friendly event going on there. I asked friends where safe places to go door-to-door were, and visited those places. We didn't get everywhere, since we didn't start until an hour and a half into the trick-or-treating time. He dressed up as an army guy "special forces" he says. i just wandered around in my fake colored hair extentions, fancy chandeler earrings, and eyeliner creating a triple ear piercing effect, plus one in my ear cartilage, and, my fav, a pierced eyebrow stud. I wanted to wear my fake flourescent colored hair to work, so I created the look of one of those people you might see at a cosmotology school, y'know where they learn to do hair and makeup and such, like the only place besides maybe a tattoo parlor where you can wear funky colored hair, lots of piercings and not get into trouble. Yesterday I was a Indian married woman, wearing my sari and appropriate jewelry and makeup.
Happy November!

| it's been a while since i've updated. Guess i've been busy. Saturday, T and went to Harvest of Talents and spent a lot getting stuff for him, his family and a few things for our family.
Sunday, the usual,
Monday after school, we went to Springfield, to go to the army surplus store. also went to Family Christian Stores to get him a Bible. By the time we got to the surplus store, they were closed (closed at 5pm), so we went to Target, and splurged.
Tuesday, I forget what all happened, except that Jon helped T memorize his first bible verse, Phillipians 4:13. I went to bed early that day, felt kinda mopey, then woke up at 1am, and didn't get back to sleep until 4am. That's what I get for going to bed at 7pm.
Wednesday, he got to visit with some family, after school, where he had a field trip to a dairy farm (and got to milk a cow!) and some wind turbine farm.
Today we were sad because we couldn't find where Cub Scouts were meeting  game night didn't have many people at it, but afterwards we went to Walmart to get him some cowboy boots (his others got lost in the shuffle of stuff) and also stopped at the grocery store for some food. Got a lot more food than I had planned on, but we'll be set for a few weeks...or so...lol
I need to brainstorm up a Christmas list for my family. It was so much easier as a kid, I wanted everything, it seems. Now I realize I have way more than what I need, and it seems silly to ask for stuff that I know I don't need. But who, really, would enjoy seeing the joy on my face as I get excited about a Kroger gift card? I would be very excited for one! Or a Target gift card, but I don't think that's gonna be what people would want to get for me.
anyway, that's the last week or so. Now i've got a sleeping Jon in front of a movie that he put in not 20 minutes ago, and hopefully T is sleeping. Now i'm thinking sleep sounds like a good idea. 'specially since I'...wait, just got a text...now i won't be needing to be up early, 'cept to take T to school.

| so i think one of my friends is pregnant. but i don't want to let her know how much i think that she probably is, because that'd get her hopes up, and the dr says the chances of she and her husband getting pregnant are pretty low.
tomorrow is harvest of talents!
T wrote up his Christmas (cristmes, as he spelled it) list tonight. It is hard for me to go along with the santa thing. but i will anyway for now. One of the things on his list is a "bell from santa's sleigh." I let him know that it might be rather difficult to track down. but if we don't have him any longer than the end of the month, there's no good reason to break the poor kid's heart that there is no santa claus. 'course if he doesn't believe that his birth certificate is right, then he won't believe that santa's just a fictional character with characteristics of a saint from way back when (he thinks he's 10, not 8...we showed him his birth certificate, but he refuses to believe it.)
my burn is getting annoying. it doesn't hurt much, i just have to put stuff on it twice a day, which wouldn't be so bad, except i have to put it on OVER the old stuff, so i can't look to see how it's healing, 'cause by taking off the old stuff, i may take off some of the skin that's starting to regrow. it's no fun if i can't watch it heal. in a day or two i think i need to clean it. the pharmacist suggested a specific mix of salt and water, or a saline solution. i'll see what that does. oh yeah, and i can't get it wet in the shower, so i wrap it (the arm that's already wrapped with gauze and a netted wrap bandage) in saran wrap before taking a bath. i do miss playing in the bubbles, and with all the fun bath toys. i remember a pink hippo that didn't have feet, but rather yellow wheels, and i think we had a turtle. Seems like there was another toy or two, but they're not coming to mind right now.
