I have been extra lazy all week. I didn’t do a single thing around the house. Not one, besides cook dinner all week…which was all grilled and easy!

I finally tackled the mountain of dishes in the sink and counter. Seriously, everything we use regularly was dirty besides 1 spoon. An hour later, they were clean! Yay! I hate doing dishes by hand though. It takes so long, and I get all hot and sweaty. I also am dumbfounded on why I wait so long to do them, rather then take 10 minutes at night to do them all.

I’ve washed the kids clothes, got their bag all packed. I’m waiting on their whites to finish so I can put some socks in there for Chase.

These is a couple fly’s in the house. One keeps landing on Betty. It’s annoying the hell out of her. Everytime it lands on her butt, she jumps and turns around all fast trying to catch it. It’s cracking me up.

Here she is waiting for that mofo fly to land on her again. She wants it dead. Ha!

Jeremy just got home about 10 minutes ago. I need to grill some hot dogs and sausages for the kids and us, and then we are headed to L.A. to drop them off, but first we are going to go and hang out with my brother and Agnes!!! She just flew in from Paris on Tuesday, and called me this afternoon to come hang out. So, I am excited about that. I haven’t seen her in a couple years. After the kids leave we will hang out for a while…maybe do something.

So, that’s cool.

My Madre is coming down June 12-15th, then my sister is coming down the 18th-27th…then I am flying to North Carolina July 5th-12th. I can’t wait to go and visit! I just wish Jeremy could go with me, because I will miss him so while I am gone.

Anyway, that is all.

This morning Jeremy didn’t have a job until 11:30 in Santa Clarita, so he took me out to breakfast. We went to Denny’s because..don’t laugh…I had a coupon. We should have forgot about the coupon though, because Denny’s seriously sucks. I think the only times it’s ever tasted good is after a night of drinking. I would have preferred a Starbucks breakfast.

Either way though, it was nice going out and having breakfast with him on a weekday.

One of the countless things that piss me the hell off about people is this…

Ebay. So, I win something on eBay. I always, always pay immediately. Like I win, and then I pay. I think at that point the person should leave me feedback. I refuse to leave feedback for anyone who doesn’t leave me any first…because seriously, I did my job. I won and paid. Time for my feedback. When your job is done, i.e. you’ve shipped my product and it’s arrived, then I will leave you feedback.

I have 13 feedbacks. I would like more you know, and I know I’ve won close to 20.

Why are people so stupid? Why can’t the world be filled with people like Jeremy & I? Why god, why?

So, last week was my first week with The Grocery Game.

It went like this:

*Total off the shelf price: $191.00

*Saved: $88.00 (46%)

This weekend I printed my lists and did my shopping with Jeremy, and here is my breakdown:

*Total off the shelf price: $494.00

*Saved: $263.00 (53%)

It is a little time consuming right now, as I am trying to juggle my list and coupons…but I am going to get a binder, and photo album inserts to put my coupons in so I can see them and stuff. I’m sure I will get faster the more I get used to it. I am actually having fun shopping. It really is like this game, getting the cheapest prices, and stocking up on stuff for cheap.

Yesterday, I kept teasing Jeremy and saying “Isn’t this fun?” and he was sarcastically saying “Oh yeah, baby! This is great!”.

Then we walked out and he looked on his receipt, and said “Okay this is kinda fun!” LOL!

The best is I bring him, and the coupons I have double of, I give him the doubles, and have him check out with the double products so we get the double coupons, and I don’t have to make 2 trips. It cracks me up though watching him…this tattooed guy using coupons. LOL!

Now, I’m a freak and want a deep freezer. LOL! I think in a month or so, I am going to get one, once my stockpile grows and I am spending less at the store for food all together.

Here’s my stockpile for 1 full week:

To go grocery shopping!

So, today I got 2 of the Sunday L.A. Times and excitedly tore through it to find the coupons. There have been a few times in my years as a Mom to where I clipped coupons, and I used them for a bit, but the savings really wasn’t worth the hassle.

Well, today I printed two of my lists from The Grocery Game for Vons and Ralphs. I highlighted the items I had coupons for, which was more then I anticipated for one week. It’s going to take a few weeks to build my stash of coupons so I have one for each item on the list, so I can get everything I need. I took out the coupons I will need out of my pile, and printed some more coupons off of The Grocery Game website. Well except for one, because it wouldn’t work. I’m going to have to work on that tomorrow before I head out.

I have never, ever, ever been excited to grocery shopping until today. I can’t wait to go in the morning, and get the things on my list to start my stock pile.

Some things I am going to get are:

I’m sitting here trying to paint. I’m painting a sugar skull and I have some small details to paint where I need a steady hand and a steady eye. Yet my eye has been twitching for 1 hour & 40 minutes. It’s driving me crazy right now. Why won’t it stop? The longest eye twitch I’ve ever had, is where you think to yourself “I have an eye twitch.” Then it’s pretty much gone. I just want to paint damn it! Every time I go to paint a thin line it twitches and my vision gets all funky. Pissing me off man!

EDITED- It ended up being a 7 hour eye twitch.

I find myself becoming a tight wad where money is concerned.

Usually everyday I don’t go anywhere so I don’t spend money. I love when 3 days have gone buy and I haven’t spent any money on anything with the exception of food.
