Ok so I have posted some links for everyone. They are some things that I enjoy. One is to the book I was talking about , one is to my church. And one is to my life saver spot( I have a black berry) I am still trying to learn how to use it and when I don't get something I go over there and get some unanswered questions answered !

Sorry it has been a long time. I have so much to say but I have to remember everything. Right now half of my mouth feels like it is big as a n elephant. ( I went to the dentist to get a couple cavities filled.) Any way no one know unless I talk,or try to drink or try to eat, or try to smile or try ........well you get the picture.
I started to read this book called the LOVE DARE ( from the movie FIRE PROOF) I am on day four. All I can say is wow I have learned things in the four day that I did not know.
If you are not familiar with the movie Fire Proof, it's a movie made by the same people who made Facing the Giants . Any way Fire Proof is about a marriage that is about to be over, the thing about the movie is that it's real it deals with things that really happen in life and what marriages really go through. Well through out the movie the husband gets this book from his dad. It is a 40 day journey to help the marriage that has gone sour. The first day you just start our by not saying anything negative to your spouse. No matter what!!! Now that one is really harder than you think, because some times you just don't think before you speak and some thing you may not think is rude may really be rude. Every day you build on the one thing you did the day before. Today on top of not saying anything rude, ( you try to do this every day ) I have to ask Jeremiah what things he thinks are annoying about me and things that upset him and not tell him what I think about him.
In the four days that I have done this I have noticed that I think more before I say something. I think before I make a face or anything. My marriage is not about to be over but it is not where I want it to be. I think over time you forget and you get use to them being around. The book talks about how you use to do things and think about the other person while you were dating but then you get them and stop. We should never stop thinking and doing thing for the other. It is also a Bible study in it slef. The book is not KJV but I just use my own Bible and then write the verses in. But is does have a lot of Biblical princables in it.
I will try to blog every day or so to let you all know how it is going. Plus it gives me some where to write about it. I know that it will make my marriage better than every before. I have learned things about myself that I thought were really not problems; but pulling myself out of the picture and trying to love Jeremiah the way he is right now! Just by working on loving him I have seen some faults of mine that I am trying to change. It is not as easy as it looks. But I know that I will be a better person and better wife for it. Please pray for me as I start this journey . I hope some one is inspired to make their marriage better.

Ok so I thought this would be funny for some one else beside me. I am the Assistant Director at our day care, and of course I have a favorite kid. She was a baby in the baby room when I was the teacher in there. So of course I am her favorite also... Any way the other day I was working in the office and like every other day she wanted to come in to the office and see Mrs. Rachel so of course I went down to her room to get her and them proceeded to bring back to the office to give her a treat. ( I keep apple cinnonmon cherrios in my desk ) So I gave her some, and then took her back to her class. Well she proceeded to tell me she had to go to the bathroom so I took her. ( Like five times) She told her teacher like five min later she had to go to the bathroom. Now mind you I just took and she really did go. So I came back and took her AGIAN ( I was the extra person for that moment and no one else had to go to the bath room. ) Any way ... she went agian and I took her back to class. Then like five min later I heard my name being called agian by the teacher ....... and you guessed it the little had to go to the bath room AGIAN ... ok really did she have to agian. I dont think so , so I said I just took you , really dont have to go.

Well like five min later I heard my name being called by the teacher ... and it was not pritty. So While she cleaned up the wonderful wet mess I took the little girl to the bath room to change her clothes and clean her up. When I took her she kinda giggled but I did not get what was going on yet....I just thought ok just helping the teacher.

So I get her all cleaned up and I go back to the office and start working when you guessed it.......
I heard my name She had to go to the bath room this is may be twenty min after the last feasco.
I said no you just went you can wait like every one else. ok if you saw how much pee could come out of one little girl and then she said she had to go agian I thought there is no way. So I did not take her. well she did it agian .... peeded herslef. When I took her in the bathroom to change her I realized that I had just gotten played by a two year old. The dead give away was when she laughed and said I got my Rachel. I knew you would come to get me I love my Rachel.
Ok so I did not know whether to be really mad or be overwhelmed with love for her.

Needless to say I told the teacher not to call me for the rest of the day and I told the little girl that I would not come by to see her for the rest of the day . ( I felt like a heel) So that day she had a total of five accendents to see if Mrs. Rachel would come to get her. The next day she tried the same thing but this time I was smart. SO that cured that one really fast. Any way she still is my favorite and she knows it but now we have to have the talk every morning that we will use the potty like a big girl or Mrs. Rachel will not be able to give her any more treats. So We have not had that problem any more.

I just thought it was very humorus that she loved me so much that she would pee her self just to see me . I should be flatterd right???? ( She is just to smart for her own good.)

Well I have found one of the greatest deals in a while. I went to the mall to get some perfume at VS cause they are having their semi-annual sale. I always park at JCP ( I don't know why but always do) Any way I was walking through and saw huge signs hanging from the ceiling. All the signs said BUY ONE GET ONE FREE. I had to at least go look I could not just walk on by come on. I went over and started to look at all the coats. I really did need a nice winter coat. I lost 60lbs last year and the coats that I did have I gave away ( they got way to big.) So any way I thought well if I find one that I really like I will look for another one. So to make a long story short I walked out of JCP with two new winter coats for only $100 which I thought was not a bad deal. I was wearing a coat that was all ripped up inside. It really was not that warm anymore. Ok so I bought it for $5 at good will but it did the trick for like a year. I got my five dollars out it .
I don't know how long the sale is going on so you might want to go in and see today. Come on you know your kids need new coats and so do you.

Oh one other thing. This really has nothing to do with saving money but, I am in our churches valentine play. Ok those who know me know that I don't like to be in front of people. I do sing occasionally at church but right after I do I just want the earth to swallow me up and I don't want to talk to any one. Well I got asked to be in the play I thought about and I said yes, well because they kept asking and asking and asking. So I said yes. Well tonight is the very first reading of only like, well very little. We only have like four weeks if that to work on the play. So needless to say I am very scared well not so scared yet I am really nervous. The only part I have really ever had in a play was to be a extra chicken in the Little Red Hen. I did not even say anything and I still messed it up. And I when I got the script for this play I found I out I have like one of the big parts. I don't know what I was thinking. I guess those of you who will go to the play will let me know how we all did I hope you all enjoy. :)

Wow it seems like a long time. I have so much to say and I can't remember everything I wanted to say. Jeremiah went out of time last week and took the computer with him, and it is kinda hard to post from my phone. ( well the thing about it, is that I am still learning my phone. I just got a blackberry and have not mastered the art of it yet.) Everything has been so busy here, we have been fixing up the mess at the church and then at the Day Care also. We found out we has some water damage in the phone lines.
But no one wants to hear about all of that boring stuff. I found some great stuff the other day when I was at Fred Meyer. I have been eyeing these great long stem candle holders ... for like ever it seems like but they were just way to much money. But for some reason every time I go in to the store I was stroll down the aisle they are and just stare and wish that I could have them , to put them on top of my piano. Well, like I said I was in the store the other day ( of course while Jeremiah was gone) and I thought I will just go look at them and daydream. But they were gone ... I was a little heart broken for like a second. Then I thought, oh well , and went about to get the things that I had gone in there for.... Just then I saw some thing out of the corner of my eye. Was it... no it could not be.... but yes it was.... but no... yes it was so of course I had to look. Just like always I had to look at the price ( like I thought it would change or something) but yes they were they were in the price range that I was willing to pay for. They were only five dollars by the time all the EXTRA savings were taken off I was so excited. I of course bought them and could not wait to get them home to put candles in them to see how beautiful they really were. And yes they were everything I had day dreamed about for all those long months. I will take a pic and post it . ( Have to but for tea light candles )
Ok so we are starting the Dave Ramsey thing. So of course we are being very tight with our money. We really want to buy the house we are in but only will be able to do so if we get our finances in order. But I really needed some more nylons but we really could not afford it this week ( ok Jeremiah does take care of me ) I was just going to have to just wait till next week. well I went to the dollar store to day and GOD blessed I got the really nice Silken Myst nylons at the dollar store and yes you guessed it for only a dollar. I got 6 pairs for six dollars I am still really excited because I don't buy those because they are just not in my tight budged and really they don't last that long but they sure do feel great ....well as good as nylons can any way . Well enough of my rambling I have to go to bed any way . Have a great week !!!!

It has been nice to go back to work!!

It was really nice to work today. With all the CRAZY !!!!weather we have been having I have only worked 6 days in the last 3 weeks. But that is qutie alright I needed the vacay!!! I do have to tell you all of the great finds that I found today. My husband really is not impressed so I have to tell someone. I think that they are some great finds.
Well I had to work late today because all the teachers were not able to make it into work today( we had some major flooding today. It took me almost an hour to get half way to work and then had to get back home.) Any way Jeremiah had to well did not have to but had volley ball and basketball tonight ( I am a little sad cause I wanted to play but that is ok) Any way I wanted to go some where besides home so I thought I would go check what the stores had for left over Chirstmas stuff. I decided that I would only spend ten dollars and that is it. I found bow for $.22 and 100ft of really expensive rapping paper for $1.00 but the greatest thing that I got today was my tree bag. I broke the zipper on the one that I had so I needed to get another one since I was putting it out in the shead. I found this rolling , yes I said rolling tree bag for only $3.74 I am really excited about this; and let me add so is Jeremiah because that means he does not have to carry the thing all the way to the shead.!!!:] One more thing Jeremiah brought some people over after the basketball thing and I had not made dinner so I said I would make pizza and he said he wanted to get another one just in case. So he went to Papa Murphys and they were just closing but they had a pizza some one did not come and get . So they gave it to him for $7.00 he was really excited about it. They funny thing is he has been teasing me since I started the blog and the frist thing he said to me was.......... "ok you have to put this on your blog" I thought that was really funny. Any way ok I have to go to bed . I am having so much fun doing this Thank you all for reading my random words of nothingness. :)
