Work Bites...And Missed A Great Sale!! Err

Okay so to begin with AAFES had a GREAT sale...almost 50% off most items. I made a list and even circled the appropriate pics with quantities written next to it for the hubby to pick up while he was on base. The total came to $53 which got us:
2 Rainex wipers for my car ($4 each)
3 Aquafresh toothpastes ($1 each)
3 Softsoap handsoap ($1 each)
5 4-ct Angel Soft TP ($1 each)
2 Laundry baskets (2 for $3)
4 PERT 2 in 1 (2 for $5...hubby has to have PERT)
8 VO5 Conditioners (4 for $3)
4 VO5 Shampoos (4 for $3)

I was so excited cuz when I totaled normal cost for all this it would have been about $80-90. Sent the hubby to go get it and the cashiers told him the sale was over even though it was still the 15th! Was so upset! I was still able to order my wipers for the sale price (they are normally $8 each!)


Then at work last night/this morning I talked to my flight chief about attending training on Tuesday to which he replied since I am still getting paid I should attend. Now I wouldnt have a problem wasting my off time AGAIN but this week I have Sun, Mon and Tues off. The MPF is only open on Tues from 9-3. As I work mids and get off at 5 in the morning I dont want to wait around for 4 hours just to go to the MPF. I need the MPF to help with my seperation package for the military. It just drives me nuts! All training is on is how to respond to a domestic violence in base housing...ummm I wont be responding...why waste my time? Still trying to figure out if I am going to have to sit around at the firing range as well even though I am not allowed to fire a gun...Err just so frustrating! Got so much to do and since the base closes on holidays I don't have a lot of time to do this in!

As for my stockpiling it is slowly getting built up. I am convincing my hubby and parents why we should rebuild our "pantry" as it used to be an old coal shoot. Our cans and boxes get dusty and I want to drywall the room...maybe lay some carpet (if I can find something cheap) and put up new shelves. The hubby got a bunch of tools for Christmas so he needs to put them to use!!

The pregnancy is going well. Baby is kicking up a storm and making me hungrier than ever. I just cant seem to get enough food. So bought the makings for PB&J sandwiches at work and just eat those all night. Easy, no dishes after and full of nutrients. So win win...


Well suppose that is all for now. More later.

Sad News

So I was sleeping just a bit ago and was woken up by my cell phon going off. Read the text message from one of my friends out of state and found out she went to the docs today for baby appt. They couldn't find a heartbeat so they did an ultrasound and found out the baby had died last week. She says she is fine and she will call in a week...I want to respect her wishes but I so want to talk to her. I know she is not "fine" like she says she is. She wasn't getting to excited about the pregnancy because she didnt think she would carry full term anyways. It was a shock for her to find out she was pregnant since she had been told for the past two years she will never have more kids (she has 3) due to scare tissue. But I know she was excited. She goes in tomorrow to "deliver"...I would not be able to do that...Well that is all...

Cant Sleep

Okay so can't sleep. Work mids and I have to work tomorrow night which means I get to stay up all night tonight! yay! So browsing the internet and watching Desperate housewives...When I get to bored I feel the baby moving around...Oh if only there were a way to stay pregnant...or maybe just SOME of the symptoms...LOL!! Can you tell I am bored? And cant even do the rest of the housework since everyone else is sleeping...did all the light work earlier while baby girl was sleeping...ERRR! So bored!!! Can't even get into the stockpile or budgeting stuff right now...so sad...

My First Post!

Well right now I am just trying to survive. My life is more hectic than ever. I should be the happiest person on earth...Got a husband who loves me and the most beautiful baby girl who is healthy and happy. But alas, the stars are not aligned and I am FREAKING OUT!! I am ready to drop my seperation paperwork for the air force. Financially it does not make sense but for my family we will make it work. My husband works days and I work mids so I rarely see them and it is putting a strain on my family. I miss my daughter and her smiles. When I am home with her I am so tired that I get cranky with her. So I try to make up for it and as a result the housework takes backburner. Then I feel guilty that she doesnt have a clean house to live in so I try to clean and I lose more precious time with her which makes me feel even worse. So I have joined some groups that are teaching me how to stockpile and clip coupons and bargain hunt. Anything that will allow us to keep our home and allow me to stay home and raise our family. I am a firm believer that women belong in the kitchen. Before people start hating, I believe in equal rights and all that, I just feel that the majority of the time women handle family issues better than men. We are hardwired for that where as men are hardwired to bring home the bacon and let the women cook it. I do not want my kids to be latchkey kids so anything I can do to prevent that I will do. I am here meeting other women (or men) who are interested in the same ideas and values that my family has and who have experience in the bargain hunting and stockpiling and child raising. Well that is all for now...will continue to update!
