Grouchy

Pouting, stomping, and sticking my lip out as far as it will go. I planted my garden ( too early  I am sure and it is all my fault) and now.. it is a sad little garden. My cucumbers died, my watermelon died, my onions are doing okay.. and then to top it off one of the dogs got to the side yard and dug up my strawberries, jalapenos and peppers. So, basically, I have cilantro, dill, tomatoes and maybe some carrots and onions. I am making my trip back to Moss Greenhouse tomorrow and wait to plant until next week. Darn my impatience. Try try again I suppose.

I am in a cantankerous mood today. I don't want to do anything, I am mad about having o do laundry and so many other things that I HAVE to do, and I really don't want summer school to be starting so soon. The coupon craze has hit so hard in Jerome that you have to fight to get any extra Sunday papers, wither that or get up at 3am to get them first. The shelves are all cleaned out all the time, and the stores are getting cranky about everything. I have been keeping my shopping down to a minimum lately and just getting a few deals here and there until all these crazy people get tired of chasing every deal they see. I am glad people are finding smart ways to save money, but they need to realize that there are others of us who have been doing this for a while longer and that there are coupon rules we try to follow. 1. Don't clear shelves 2. treat your cashiers with respect 3. Stealing newspapers is wrong 4. YOU DON'T NEED EVERY SINGLE SALE THAT COMES OUT .
Thankfully I have a pretty good stock of things and I can afford to sit out a bit until the hysteria calms down.

Off to spread my abundance of sunshine with the world

5 grateful things ( I need this today)

Weird Week

This past week has just been plain odd. Rex has been recovering from his dental surgery, and we had spring break, but it all went by so fast and it was a lot more stressful than I thought it would be. Trenton and I did not get to read Harry Potter, we didn't get to go to the library. I did get to go to the Twin Falls Library book sale though... I was also bummed that NONE of my Young Women came to the YW's conf. on Saturday. It was just me and one other leader who made it. :( We are going to re watch it with all the girls though for a Mutual gathering coming up. Still a bummer though, it was such a good conference.

 We bought a basketball hoop and basketball for Trenton and it has been wellll used! He is getting really good!!
 So here is Rexy's brand new smile!! I think he looks awesome!! They look good for fake teeth!

Mr. Tman's basketball hoop ( please disregard the neighbors construction and contractor pictured in the back ground) 

 And this is my latest buy. Allllll of this : 75 bottles of Powerade, and 36 bottles of Fuze, and 70 cans of NOS energy drink (purely for Rex) for the low low price of 18.00, 93% savings. Awesome :)
