Are you kidding me?????

Are you kidding me situation #1 ... Himelick-ish Act: Monday's are normally a bit rushed after work due to us needing to take Aiden to AWANA. I was late getting the boys from Valerie's - so I was already in a panic. About 5:30 the boys were eating string cheese and having a juice box (I know ... I am such a health conscious mom!! YEAH RIGHT!) That's when I hear Logan coughing like I've never heard before! So hard! He did that a few times and I though all was better. Then he coughed twice and looked at me with a look that I could tell something was wrong. Oh my ... did I ever want to panic! Instead I flung (literally) Logan over my shoulder and hit him on the back with the heal of my palm. I only had to do that twice before the cheese was now on the floor ... THANK GOD! Logan sits up off my shoulder and looked at me like, "What in the world was that all about!?!?!" I just hugged him and said a prayer of thanks and got to cleaning up the remains of the snack. As I was doing so, I began to cry from the stress of it all. Needless to say ... we were late to AWANA. Logan's eye lids now have little purple specks from busted capillaries or something of that nature. I tried to get a pic of them, but you can't see them. It's a cute picture though, so I posted it anyway.


Are you kidding me situation #2 ... Scrapping Tote Bargain: I have been eyeing a paper sorter tote made by Crop in Style for months. I have seen them as pricey as $190 (WHAT!?!?!) and found them on Ebay for around $90 with shipping. I was planning on going that route until I was shopping @ Meijer. I saw three of the totes on the clearance rack for $77! I was thrilled! Marcus said to buy it and it was my anniversary gift. DEAL! So, I head up to the cash register thrilled with my find and guess what!?!?!?! It rang up @ $51!!!!!! So, now Marcus owes me a $26 anniversary gift since I saved even more! Below is the picture of my newly stocked paper organizer.


Are you kidding me situation #3 ... Diaper Changing Table Bargain: I am co-nursery coordinator @ church. We recently opened an infant nursery that needs some new items. One major item that we've needed is a diaper changing table. I've kept my eye out for a good deal b/c my dad was going to donate towards the purchase. I have seen some as low as $80 @ Target ... but they just seemed like a plate on sticks! Well ... last night while Aiden was at AWANA, Logan and I were killing some time at K-Mart. Logan refused to sit in a cart, so we were just walking around aimlessly. Somehow we ended up in the baby furniture section and there it was ... a beautiful white changing table complete with drawers and a little shelf at the bottom. I knew it would be out of our price range ... but I thought why not go ahead and check out the price. I took a picture of the price tag from after I purchased it ...
ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I looked at the stock boy and asked him why. He said because they are getting rid of that line. I told him it was for church and he said, "Well, this is a God thing." Well ... there...you... go!
