Good Morning!! I have decided that Monday's are just not my day....First of all, the phone woke me up, I ran down the stairs, missed the bottom 2 stairs, and just about landed in a heap. Then, no matter what I did with my computer, it kept wanting to do what IT wanted to DO. So, I just left IT alone for awhile! HAHA.....then, I noticed that it rained again last night, and I forgot to bring in my chair cushions on the deck. Bummer. Now they are all yucky wet. Hmmmm....Monday's are out to get me!!
*********************************************
When IT (the computer) decided to finally let me on, I started cruising around and found a great new site: nickels-n-dimes. Ooooohhh....I really like this one. Becky has listed some great printables for:

June 21-27 CVS or Walgreens. I just printed the Walgreens ones, and plan to take them with me today. I get to go past the Big Town today, on the way to yet another teen daughter Ortho appt., and I plan to make a quick exit off the interstate to so a little shopping. I wonder how long my "quick exit" will take! :)

*********************************************
Common Sense With Money has a great post about a fantastic Meijer deal going on right now. Guess what store is also in the Big Town?! You got it...MEIJER! YAY!!

While I was reading about the posts at Common Sense, there was one that really caught my eye. It was a guest post written by Angela Russell from the Coupon Project. It is very informative, and I got alot out of the article! This is what it says at the bottom of the article:

"Angela is the author of The Coupon Project, a blog chronicling her real life couponing adventures. Her goal is to encourage and educate other newbie couponers how to enjoy amazing money-saving success through easy-to-follow posts. "

SUPER SENSATIONAL SHOUTOUT SATURDAY

Well, it has been another busy week, with Memorial Day, school STILL in session, sick teens, homework, etc., but I have still found time to blog and cruise other blogs! During my voyage into the bloggy world, I was visiting Boondock Ma boondockbabble and checking in to see what she has been up to! She nominated some other bloggers for the Attitude of Gratitude Award that I passed on to her. As I started reading about them, I was particularly impressed by this gal's blog. The more I read, the more I wanted to keep reading more! So, this Saturday's Shoutout goes to Dorothy over at grammology. This plucky gal has been through alot, and has handled it all with much wisdom and grace. If you have time today, cruise on over there and have a good read!

This one's for you, SonyaAnn! (HAHAHAHA) :)

MONEY MISSION MONDAY MADNESS - - AS USUAL!

Good Morning! I hope that all of you had a very restful weekend, and are ready to "do the deals" this week! I am actually planning on going to Wal-Mart and Walgreens today, in the BIG town that is next to my SMALL town; I really don't want to drive there, but I need to get stocked up on groceries! So, between feeding the fur-babies and the human "babies," and making sure that everyone leaves the house in one piece, I'm almost wore out!!

Before I start rambling on about the deals, I want to give a Big Money Mission Woo-Hoo to my latest follower, Willa (#18!), over at fickle minded. I found her while "doing the drop" with Entrecard, and I am glad that I did! She has got such a neat blog; it is filled with all sorts of cool gadget-y things. Check out my sidebar... I got my latest gadget from her blog!

To start off the great deals, click on this link: kraft foods.com. It brings up a rebate form that you can send away for a utility bill rebate, depending on how many Tombstone pizzas you purchase. There were Tombstone pizza coupons that I printed off of coupons.com last week, so I am definitely going to check this out!

Also, as I was cruising through bloggy world, I found this great post by The Good Deal Gal: *Possible* FREE DiGiornio Flatebread Melt on May 18th. You'll want to check this out as soon as you can, because it only runs through today (MONDAY). A big thanks to the Good Deal Gal for this awesome post!! **It is 6:03am and my submission went through. So, there is still time. But hurry, it is only for the first 100,000!**

Then, when I was signing up for samples on the Wal-Mart site, I found out about the FREE ICE CREAM GIVEAWAY!! Since I knew I had also just read this somewhere, on someone's blog, I started looking and sure enough, I found it!

*WHOOP...WHOOP...WHOOP...I want to interrupt my regularly scheduled Monday Madness...which, by the way, is still going on.....long story.... to give a Big WOO-HOO Welcome to Desiree over at three plus 2. I am sooooo excited! I just found her blog today, and I was thrilled to see that she has twin girls. My faithful bloggy readers and friends know that I also have a twin sister, so Desiree is especially special to me already!! Any Mom who can raise twins is a SuperWoman in my eye!! I was a Nanny for twin baby boys for a year before I got married. I know the work and blessings that are involved! I'd do it all over again, though. I named my son after one of the twins!! So, cruise on over there and check out her blog! :)
