You may call me crazy or just be jealous of how much money I'm saving. But here is a little glimpse of my new game called get the most for your money. I have bought this plus tons more... All these are deals that I am finding at my local CVS, Walgreens, and Target, with their weekly ads and my coupons I am saving hundreds of dollars..

Fire Detector

So it was Sunday night, and for some reason on Sundays I have a really hard time getting to sleep, I think I am just thinking about the week and everything that has to be done by the end of it. So it was about 10ish that I went to bed, let me remind you I attempt to get up at 4:30 so I really need to get to bed pretty early. So I am tossing and turning then I hear this beep every so often, and I am like what in the world could that be... So I get up and find out its my fire detector, but there was a little bit of a problem.... I don't have a ladder, and my ceilings are vaulted so I am thinking I am in trouble. I get my dinning room table chair, and am so grateful the guy at RC Willey talked me into getting a counter height table because that makes the chairs a bit higher. Stand on the chair, and realize I am too short to reach the dumb thing. So I get a knife from the kitchen and think maybe I can shut it off with that. Not so much...So I its like 11 now and I realize I have a step stool, sore I put the step stool on the chair and then get on top of there, I can finally reach the fire detector so I take the battery out, and the blasted thing continues to beep. I am so frustrated now, I try pulling the wires out of the wall. Not knowing what to do I call the only guy who I know who I work with who I know would be up that late practically in tears, and he says well you've got to put a new battery in it so it will stop beeping. So at 11:15ish I get dressed again run to the 7-11 down the street, to buy 1 9v battery for $4.30. I put the thing in and I finally get to sleep at 12 midnight, only to wake up a few hours later, what a way to start the new week.

a lil of this a lil of that....

My mom has been bugging me to post another entry, the main reason I haven't been writing is because I don't see anything exciting going on. Although, now that I think about it last week at school it was our 1/2 way mark till the end of the school year. Well since I am the Student Council Advisor, I thought it was important that the teachers get to celebrate, so we had a 1/2 way party. It was soo cute, I have pictures but they are on the camera at school so I will post them soon.

Other than that nothing really exciting has been going on. I had my second evaluation from my administrator about my teaching, it was very positive. He said that he was very impressed with everything that I am doing, and that he hasn't seen someone do as well as I do in a really long time, especially with my subject and everything that I have taken on. That made me smile, especially because somedays you just think it was a huge flop.

Other than that life is good, the weather is AMAZING!! and I am getting my car fixed hopefully this week! I still haven't posted a picture of that but i will. :) I hope everyone is enjoying this new year.

up late

For some reason I am still up at 10:30 pm. Maybe it was because I took a nap after school, or maybe because I have been reading about saving money at CVS. I usually never shop at CVS because I think it is way over priced, but I have been learning about there Extra Buck rewards, and am thinking I am going to see if I can save some money. I think it will be a great thing to learn before starting a family. Because once you start a family you are on a strict budget, right now since I am on my own I don't really look for the great deals, although I love one when I see one but its not a priority for me. I am going to start working on seeing if I can save some money :).

sick of being sick...

I feel like I am always sick. It's getting really old. When I did my student teaching I got really sick as well, but now it feels like I never get over being sick. My cooperating teacher told me that first year teachers get sick a lot, I didn't believe her now I do. And the best part is that I am always sick during my craziest weeks, the weeks that I have something planned every day after school grrr...

Service

This week flew by, I cant believe I have only been back for 1 week! wow time flys.. I had a great short week. Lots of things happened. My life has made a nice transition into this brand new year.

Saturday I spent 90% of my time serving. My student council kids are required to do 25 hours of community service per term. So as a council they try to do some of their hours together, so yesterday we went downtown Las Vegas to a thrift store, where we thought we would be sorting clothes. Instead they had us painting bathrooms. It really wasn't that bad, I think the kids had a good time. I really love working with kids.

I am so happy with my life at this point. I use to think that I could only be happy if I was married, but I believe now that that isn't the answer. I know that marriage brings a lot of happiness, but no one person can truly make you happy. And I believe I have finally realized that for myself.
