Greatest Husband Ever....


So, last night we were heading into the bedroom to go to bed,when all of a sudden a HUGE spider showed itself near the bedroom door. Todd being the kind and gentle person he is wanted to catch and release the thing. However, he was not dressed to head outside. So in the midst of trying to persuade him to kill the thing, it ran into the bedroom and under the bed. Todd tried to tell me that it was ok, he told me it was a ground spider. He said its doesn't know how to bite, and it always stays on the ground, but luckily I knew better. Two nights ago I had a dream, I woke up in the middle of the night with HUGE spiders crawling all over me and eating me to death. So naturally I saw this as a sign. (Keep in mind Todd has 6 hours before having to wake up and catch an early flight.) So we decide the best option was to take the bed apart and try to find the creature and vacuum him up. So we remove the mattress and start looking around, after 30 minutes of looking he is gone...gone!! We put the bed back together, and try to settle into bed. I can not do it! I start itching and have to turn on the lights. I know its only a matter of time before the thing drapes itself on the ceiling above me and inches down to try to drink from my mouth.(Seriously, they say an average person eats 7 spiders in their lifetime!) After about 10 minutes of me itching and claiming "to hear it crawling", Todd gets up. We proceed to the front room and set up the couch. My cute Todd slept on the couch with me!! He made it to bed and got about 4 and a half hours of sleep before leaving at 5:15 this morning!

I am one lucky lady!! My goal for today is to tear apart and clean this house from top to bottom. I will kill this spider and any other one that I find!!

Coupons...


I have been against coupons for a while now, but eventually gave in. Thinking back there are many things I have been against but eventually gave into; Walmart, Sams and Costco, checking in for your flight from home, Twilight, Ipod, Facebook, and so much more. I hope I am not giving in on principles and conforming to "the normal" way of doing things. Oh well another post for another time, back to coupons. I started buying the Sunday paper and cutting my little heart out every Monday morning. Todd and I love to go to the store now and see what the best deals we can get are.

I used to think it was only junk and stuff I will never use, but I was half way wrong. Everything house related is dirt cheap with coupons. Ex. Paper Towels, toilet paper, soap, shampoo, razors, deodorant, mouthwash, tooth paste, floss, cleaning supplies, and much much more. I have just recently crossed over to the food side though. I dont do this a lot because its a lot of junk that I dont buy anyways, but I can get a good deal every now and then. The last two times I have gone grocery shopping I have had 45-50% savings. Kinda fun!! I think everyone should give it a little try. Just buy your Sunday paper (on Monday mornings they are half off) and see what coupons you can find.
