Just some thoughts

Ok, I was talking to one of my friends about this time last year, and she says that she needs to go so she can get her house finished so that the teacher can come over. I was not sure what she was talking about so I asked her. She said that in her county the teacher your child has, will come visit your house. I preceded to ask her what that meant. She said that it is something that county does. They do it every year. So my question is this, am I the new person to the childs life or are they? I have been with my child since the time of conception. I really dont feel as if they should come check out my house or family. Now there is a reason I feel that they could, and that is if I am abusing my child.
I feel that if the teachers are the ones that are new to our childs life. They dont need to be coming to my house. We have been there the kids whole life and you will only have my child for 9 months.
I almost understand it as far as my child will be able to meet the teacher and get to know him/her on a little more of an personal level, but come on like the teachers all have enough time to drive all over the place to see each childs house. I dont think so!!!

Headaches

So for the last few weeks, I have been getting headaches every day. Most mornings, I wake up with it thumping in my right eye. I am about to give up and go to the dr, but I really hate to because I have not been to the dr for my anual in like 3 years. I dont want to spend that money on myself. I know before you say it, if I dont take care of myself, who is going to take care of my kids...but I just want to use that money on the kids. ARGH I am so sick of the pain. I had hoped that it was only because of my monthly, but here it is a week and a half later and I am still hurting EVERYDAY!!!
ANYWAYS....

HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL 4TH OF JULY!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!

VERY FRUSTRAITED!!!

So this morning on GMA there was a segment about parents allowing their teenage childern having sex in their homes. One parent said that she feels like her child will be safe at home. Most of the time the condoms are in the night stand drawer (her words not mine). COME ON!!!! Do most parents think that just because there are condoms being used that their child will not get pregnant/get girl pregnant??? COME ON FOLKS!!!!!!! Condoms break ALL THE TIME!!! I know that most use just for the "SAFE SEX" (not getting AIDS) and what not, but seriously, some girls dont like the way it feels, so then no condom is used. And in the same time, some boys dont like to use them because they dont like the way it feels, so then again NO CONDOMS USED!!!  So then what good is that drawer full of condoms?? The lady said something about from ages 15-18. Well let me tell you something 18 is an adult. No I would not be happy with the idea of my 18 year old child having sex in my house, but THAT IS AN ADULT!!! Now on the flip side....15 WHATS IS WRONG WITH THESE PARENTS SAYING ITS OK AT 15???? FIFTEEN!!!! At 15 the kids need to be thinking about other things like getting an education not having SEX.

Having a baby at the age of 18 was hard for me, I cant image what having one at 15, 16, 17 would be like. I am in no way downing anyone who has had one earlier than 18, but I am saying I wish I knew then what I know now. I love my children (all 4 of them) with ALL my heart, and would not take anything in this world for ANY of them. Having a child when you are still a KID yourself is not easy. It CANT be!!!

Please understand that I am not downing you if YOU are ok with YOUR child having sex before they are GROWN, but this is MY blog, and I am NOT ok with MY child having sex before they are grown.  I am TRYING to raise my kids in a Christian home, with Christian values. I dont want my kids to even think about that stuff!!!

End of school

Well here we are. Today was the last FULL day of school for my kids. They have to go Saturday to get their report cards. I know that sounds crazy, but we had several snow days then had several flooding days that the kids missed. So we had to add 2 days to our normal school year. I was planning on giving them a special treat. So tonight I am making one of their favorite dinners. My oldest asks me just about every night if I can make Lasagna and usually I wont, because I dont have all the stuff. But tonight she has no clue that I am surprising her with her favorite dinner. I have thought about doing different things to make the start to summer a great one. I have though about putting streamers in the door way so that when my kids walk into the house they are brought into a fun zone, but I still have not made it to do that. One day I will!!!! Got to love ideas that never seem to get put into action. I feel so bad about not doing it, but the kids know nothing about it, so that kinda lightnes the feeling.

PMS

So I know that I am not the only woman who suffers from PMS. I absolutely hate the time of the month. My husband says we only have 2 weeks (at the most) a month of the nice me. He says the week before my period and the week of my period are the worse weeks of EVERY MONTH. I have to agree to a point. I am grouchy, angry, crying at the drop of a hat, and just all around BLAH!!! Well from time to time, I keep telling myself that I will not do all of the above this month. I will not be a witch with a capital W!!! But then he picks at me until I am that way. Then gets mad and yells he wishes I would just quit breathing. (no he does not mean it, but he has told me that before)
Do you ever notice that you husband seems to have PMS too? I mean he gets very grouchy, angry and just down right nasty!!!! Yes ladies men have it to. Its NOT ALL YOU!!!! However if you ask you husband when he is being this way if he is having his time of the month, he gets even worse. Trust me ladies, HE DOES HAVE IT TO!!!! Just watch, I think I have mine figured out exactly when mine has his. I think his is 2 weeks after mine. Yep. So got to love the new time of the month!!!

Couponing

Ok, I have probably already talked about it once here, but I am going to talk about it again. I am trying to be a great couponer. (if thats even a word) So my cousin gave me some coupons for $2.00 off Heinz ketchup. So Walmart had it for $1.98. Guess what??? I got 6 bottles of it. Well then the same cousin gets coupons for save $1.00 off 2 boxes of Cremett pasta. Well Krogers had it if you bought 10 boxes you got it for $0.49 each. That night I ended up getting 20 boxes of pasta, and 3 more bottles of ketchup and I only spent...wait for it....$1.07. YES!!!!! So the next day I went to a different Krogers and got 20 more boxes of pasta, 3 more bottles of ketchup, I also had a coupon for a free box of Cheerios and a coupon for a free bottle of Kraft Dressing. I also got 2 cans of spaghetti sauce and I only spent...wait for it....$3.38!!!! ARE YOU BELIEVING THIS???? I was so excited. I now have 40 boxes of pasts and a total 12 (40 oz) bottles of ketchup!!!

So now I ask YOU, is there a certain place you get your coupons?
I go to couponmom.com couponsuzy.com and another one that I cant think of right now. WHERE DO YOU GO???
