Let's make a deal!!

Well, things are starting to look up! London and I are no longer sick! YAY!

...and then I threw my back out. The good times just keep on coming.

Hopefully after tomorrows visit to the chiropractor, things will be in better shape.

London has rolled over! Drew has also witnessed this so I am not hallucinating or crazy (well, any more crazy than usual at any rate.) We had her laid out on her stomach on the the floor, when she flipped herself over. She seemed a little dazed, and looked like she was wondering what Mommy and Daddy were getting so excited about. We tried to get her to do it again, but she wouldn't here of it! She laid her head down and cried. This is the third time that she's pulled this stunt. We decided that was enough for the day, but I'm confident it will become more of a habit.

I've been trying to get into this whole coupon craze that is going on. People are tightening their budgets, and we are no exception. So, I make the rounds before I go grocery shopping and collect my coupons from the different sites available. I check the weekly ad for several different stores hunting for the best deals. Sometimes its seems a little overwhelming. Most of the coupons I find are for products that I don't even use anyway, because they are usually more expensive than what I would normally buy, and I can't find coupons for the products that I do buy. Grocery shopping is starting to feel like a marathon event. I often find myself feeling inadequate and wondering if it's really worth all the time and energy that I have to put into it (there are people who seems to do it a lot better than I do) but, at least I'm trying. And I think it's making somewhat of a different to our grocery bills and budget. If any of you bloggers out there have any suggestions they would be welcome. Tomorrow the race begins, we'll see how I do this time.

Why Me?!?

Do you ever find yourself asking yourself that question in a moment of self pity? Well, this week it is apparently my turn to ask that question.
The week started of great. I had Memorial Day off, and was able to spend time with my wonderful family. Then, Tuesday came. London started coughing, sneezing, and running a fever. Diagnosis: my baby has a cold. But, wait...there's more. I also started coughing, sneezing, and having a sore throat, a sore throat which has made talking at any volume next to impossilbe. Diagnosis: I also had my baby's cold. This has continued for the rest of the week. Thankfully, London seems to be getting better. Loving infant tylenol and humindifiers. I on the other hand am having a harder time getting rid of it, and today I managed to iritate my left eye as well. One trip to the optomytrist and a bottle of eye drops later, it is still red and swollen.
These events have lead me to ask the above question...Why me?!!?
