Rough weekend

So friday night I went home and got Bria (brent was ice fishing with some friends) we ate supper but Bria didnt eat much she has a horrible cough. We found out Paxton had bronchitis so I called the ER to see if they thought Bria might have it and if they thought we shoudl bring her in. Turns out bronchitis IS contagious but that the chances that they would give Bria anything at the doctors office were slim to none, so they just told us to watch her breathing for wheezing and to give her tylenol or motrin. YAH tell that to the 9.5 month pregnant lady. Anyway, we played and she went to bed horribly and slept horribly that night. Saturday we were planning on getting Brias 18 month pictures taken, doing some last minute baby shopping (and also try to walk this baby out) and then go out to eat for Jim and Linda's anniversary. Well none of that got to happen, it rained then froze then snowed on Saturday. so we thought it best to stay home. limbs were falling off trees from the weight of the ice!!! LUCKILY our cable worked all day except for the power going off a few times. I could about imagine how Brent woudl have been freaking if the tv didnt work for the game on Sunday!!! so we hung out, Bria took a horrible nap Saturday too. We made a whole chicken saturday night and hung out. Saturday bria slept a bit better but not tha tgreat. still coughing in the middle of the nigth soo hard to make her gag and wake up.

Sunday was better we decided to go grocery shopping. ALL of us. i didnt know how that woudl bode for my grocery budget....Our total was 107 something and with coupons it was 87.24, which means i saved 26% i was soo proud of myslef!! i am hoping that this stocks us up for awhile besides bread, milk produce etc. YAH!

after we went to lunch then home, bria finally took a good nap and I reorganized our pantries, they desperately needed it! and cleaned a bit. then we sat and watched the game, you all know how that turned out. then i tried to go to bed, then at 2am bria wakes up and thinks it is time to getup!! um nope. tried everythign to get her to go back to sleep nothing worked! finally i coudlnt sit in the chair anymore my back hurt too bad, so brent got up with her, needless to say he is home sick today with a stomach bug....bria is at daycare, probably crabby and i made it in to work even though the roads werent that great!

What a great monday huh?

hello!

wanted to update on some things!
One...back in November I ordered some things from Amazon. I got great deals!! I got Fridge phonics for Bria for christmas for $10.38 (you can find this for $20.00 or mor ein stores), I got the Fridge Farm set for $8.00 (about 15 or so in stores) for a bday present that hasnt happened yet and i got a 27 piece magnetic dress up doll for $10.17 (which i have seen at herbergers for about 15-20. I also got free shipping since it was over $25.00 grand total 28.55. so already i got some great deals. well they had a promotion that you would get a year of Parents magazine with your order, but you could opt out of it and instead get $9.97 back. Well I already get Parents magazine and I have found that i dont get many chances to read it already, so I sent in my rebate form to receive a check anyway. FOrgot about it for awhile, but just recently remembered it. WELL Friday i got it in th email! yep $9.97 cents! so that makes my original purchase $18.58! not bad for 3 high quality toys! tha tis 6.19 a piece! Now i jus tneed to decide what I want to do with my rebate...put it in savings, or Brias savings or just cash and spend it. I think I am leaning towards either putting it in my christmas/birthday present fund or Brias savings. Extra money is nice!!
I also received extra money lately from my swagbucks. Now i have told you about this before but SERIOUSLY you need to sign up under for swagbucks! why say no to free money??? sign up here.

life

sorry life is crazy...what more do you want from me! lol.

lets see updates, christmas went well except for bria andme having the flu the week of christmas. we skipped christmas eve service, which is my favorite but i was feeling good by the time christmas day rolled around so we were thankfully able to make it to the Line side xmas. then the next day we went to penny and bruces for the becker side xmas. all was fun, but before i knew it it was sunday night and i had to go back to work monday.

new years we had josh and stacey and their son blake who just turned 1 over, we ordered pizza and watched the movie the hangover, they left at 9pm, made us feel old, so next year i think we are going to plan to get away without kids just to feel like we did something on new years! and maybe be up when the ball drops! haha.

otherwise work is crazy training in a new girl and trying to get my work done and work prepared for when i leave.

bria is good, stubborn...man! where does she get that from? she now loves to color and is obsessed with her barney movies! and elmo movies at daycare.

baby is looking good so far, and i need to get going on washing up clothes.
