All things were made by God John 21 First

November 1, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

This is a short story Emma had me write down for her this afternoon.  I think there’s a little mesh between Jonah and the Whale, Moses being found in the Nile, Barbie Mermaidia, maybe some Curious George and a little real life.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful mermaid and she found a seashell and there was another mermaid and she found another seashell. Then there was somebody fishing and then there was a monkey and then he saw the man fishing. Then he saw two little girls named Emma and Lexi and then there was another monkey and he also saw two little girls Emma and Lexi.

And then there was play-doh stuck in the seashell that the mermaids found.  And then there was chocolate milk that the mermaids were drinking out of and then there were toys the mermaids were playing with.  Then there was another monkey.  There were three monkeys.

Then there was another mermaid.  All mermaids were named Mermaidia.  The mermaids got the play-doh out of the seashell.  And then there was a baby boy named Moses.  And then the mermaids came to see the baby named Moses.  And then they were making bracelets for the baby so he could see his Momma.  And then at the doctors they were making more bracelets (haha–Emma thought that was funny). 

And then they had Fall Festival in the sea.  The mermaids went and the mommy and the baby went too.  And then there were more two little girls named Ashlyn Kenny and Skyler.  And then we got Barbie tattoos.  And then they went to get pocket purses at the store.   They went to the store after Fall Festival.

And there was a mermaid named Ashlyn Kenny.  Then the monkey saw the chocolate milk the mermaids were drinking out of after they went to the store and took it from them and he was drinking out of it.

And then there was sunflowers on the dry land.  The sea was drying up because there was a big whale and he drank all the water.  And then the mermaids got in the whale and took the water out and the whale choked and he went back to his house and the mermaids put the water back.  And then everything turned out perfect.  And the mermaids changed into humans and got married.

The End

Latest CVS Deal

November 1, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Today I made another CVS deal that was FABULOUS. 

Nova Max Blood Glucose monitor is normally $59.99.

On sale for $29.99

Coupon for $50 is found in a Diabetes pamphlet in the store – check the sale ad this week for a picture of it.  The clerk had to do register magic to make it be $29.99.

I paid $2.10 in tax and they wouldn’t let me use ECBs to pay for it.

I received $20 in ECBs from the transaction.  It also spit out a $3 off $15 coupon and $2.50 off $10 in CVS brand items.

No one in this house has diabetes but I mentioned donating things I got and I was serious.  I found Amy’s site and plan to send her the monitor for the missionaries in Gautemala.  Win-win for all of us.  Yay!

Just another tip–they seem to be out in A LOT of the stores around here but a clerk told my sister they could order one for her and it’d be in-store the next day but the sale is up Saturday, so hurry if you want to take part.

Monetizing my Blog Update

October 31, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

OK, today’s the last day of October.  You know, in case you haven’t seen a calendar today.  Sorry, I’m being silly. 

Although I gave an update the other day on PayPerPost, I wanted to give a full monthly update since this is the last day of the first month.  I technically didn’t start posting until October 7 for PPP and I think October 11 for PayU2Blog so this is actually only 3 weeks of posts.

This got really long, so read the rest of the entry…

ER Scare

October 31, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

S was over here after school and before MIL picked all the girls up and they were all outside playing.  Both Emma and S got ants all over them but S especially.  We quickly got the ants off her but she had gotten bitten a good 15 times before she was clear.  I put some StingEaze on her and gave her some Benadryl just in case after MIL seemed nervous about it.  And no one knew if she was allergic to the bites or the Benadryl. 

Well, they all load up and go and the next thing I know I’m getting a call on the phone while I’m on a conference call that I don’t answer and then my cell phone rings which I miss.  The phone rings again and I finally pick up my cell phone and Scott is almost yelling about my nephew K rushing home to ride in an ambulance with S and then he hangs up.  Wha??  I walk outside trying to see if I see MIL down the street still.  I try to call Scott back but he doesn’t answer.  He finally calls me back and says, "Oh, Mom called K and said be sure to be home in case he needed to ride in the ambulance with her and she needed to stay with Emma and Lexi."  Whew.  Crisis averted but seems like much ado about ant bites dontcha think?
