My husband and I have been wanting to rip out our carpets and have hardwood floor put in. We have been trying to get advice about it and where to go for the best prices. We haven’t gotten alot of advice about it yet. The questions we have are like should we do the whole house? Should we have it professionally done or is it feasible to do it ourselves? And where can we get the best deal on it? Can anyone share their stories or advice on getting this done with us so that we can make the best decision on it all?

Oh my I for some reason lately need some good suggestions for this. I am so tired here lately, but I am hoping that it will subside after I get used to the school year just starting and my work schedule change. But for now I will just have to depend on my diet dr. peppers and Crystal Light Energy mix, because I have no guts to try a real energy drink I am too afraid of what they might taste like. So anyone who reads this post tell me: What you do to get more energized and to make through the day without a nap?

Went off perfectly other than the four year old getting in my car covered in mud this afternoon, but hey I have learned thats what boys do. I was actually prepared for there to be tears this morning with Hal, but to my surprise he was cool with it all and told me to “get out of here,” meaning the classroom this morning. Wesley acted of course like a little grown-up when left at the first grade this morning and looked at the kid in his class that was crying like he was crazy. I am really proud of both of them when they got into the car this afternoon they both boasted that they had good reports!! They did really good and I am proud of them.

Here are some pics:

I was looking at Target’s weekly ad online this evening, because hey I am a sucker for a sale. Anyway on the last page of the ad they Coke products on sale, but with no price on them. And the reason I think it is so smart of them is because people will take their ads in places for example such as Wal-Mart and get them for Target’s price because Wal-Mart does that. And in the past I regretfully have to say I worked at Wal-Mart a few years ago and they can’t comp the price if there is not one listed in the paper, so people wanting the product will have to get it Target. Pretty smart of them I think because hey I prefer to shop at Target anyway. Anyone know where I go to beg for a SuperTarget in town???

Until the end of summer vacation. Well atleast this year will be my last first year of school. This year Wes will be going back to schooland Hall will start for the first time and I am just going to be sooo bored on my days off during the week without my Hal to keep me company. Oh well it will be ok I think I can definately find myself other things to do like for example blogging and working on my sites. However it is kind of exciting watching them because about a month ago they were just whatever about going back to school or starting school. Now they are actually excited about it. I can’t wait and I will definately be posting some pics of the first day of school!

Here is a little backstory my boys a while back recieved some stuffed animals that play “Jesus Loves Me” when you press the stomach, they got them about it Christmas I think from Grandma. Anyway in comes Porthos who loves to chew on stuffed animals (like most puppies and dogs do) well he gets one of these above said stuffed animals this particular one is a sheep, well in Porthos little world it is a possessed demon sheep. Because he is going to town on it trying to play with it, when all of a sudden “Jesus Loves Me” starts playing and he freaks. I don’t think he has ever moved so fast so then he gets up on the couch watching the thing on the floor like it is going to eat him. And now he refuses to go near the sheep. I guess that is a good deterrent to keep a dog from chewing toys, just make sure it has a music box.

I am not a person who normally focuses on my weight but there has to be a time when I have to. I am not fat by any means nor am I skinny, but I can just tell lately that I have put on some weight and that it is time to do something about it. I just don’t know where I am going to find the will-power to do it. I know I need to, its just that dieting has never been easy for me, it is really hard for me to stick to. A friend of mine told me about a diet that I believe that I can do and stick to. So since I have my blog here I am also going to use it for daily updates to help hold myself accountable. I have decided that my start date will be Monday August 27th and as I see how the diet is going I will go ahead and post the details of it and a link to the website. My friend says that it has worked really well for her in the past so lets see how it works for me!

I watched every episode of this season when it came on TV now I can’t wait to rewatch them all on DVD it does come out this Tuesday the 28th of August. So far as I have seen Best Buy is going to have the best price on it. Yep when I buy a new season or a movie on dvd I like to get the best price possible. And I also would advise anyone who hasn’t watched this show to check it out, we were hooked with the first episode.

The kids and I along with Grandma went up to the school and met their teachers for this school year this evening, like I had mentioned in an earlier post. Anyway both of the teachers seemed really nice and I also heard some good things about them from Jason’s Aunt whose three girls all went through this school in the last 10 years. After going up the boys both seemed more excited about going to school, and they were really well behaved so they are going to get to go swimming over at the same Aunt’s house as mentioned above tommorow. I have even decided I would swim as well since I haven’t been at all this summer.

Tonight the kids and I are going up to the school to meet their teachers for 1st grade for Wesley and Pre-K for Hal. They seem really just like ok whatever with Hal being just a tad but excited about it. But me on the other hand am just always nervous when stuff like this goes on. I think they will be nice and the kids will do well this year so I will post later after we meet them.
