Sickies 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Well, Oldest Princess has a sinus infection and her chest is tight according to the doctor. So she got prescriptions for Amoxicillin and Albuterol. My mom had to take her to the doctor because I was working. I told my mom to just take the scrips to Walmart, they should just be $4 scrips. Craig went after he got back in town to go pick them up. They were going to be $32 a piece!!! So, because the girls' insurance doesn't do Walmart, I screwed up. I just figured it'd be $8. *sigh* So today I get to call the doc and get new prescriptions sent to Walgreens. GRRRRRRRR
Pink & Purple Fairy 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Saturday we went to Build-A-Bear Workshop. Youngest Princess had gotten a gift card for there for Christmas. She made a beeline for this cute little pink and purple bear. I tried to show her the other ones she could pick, but she had blinders on. This was the bear for her!First she got to stuff it:Then she got to put the bear's heart in:Then the bear got an air bath and a good brushing:Finally she got to not be naked anymore. Youngest Princess picked out a fairy costume and a Princess Aurora costume for her buddy:Finally, our purchase was done. "Pink & Purple
Fairy" was now a part of our family!
Yippy Skippy, part 2 2007-03-02 05:17:00 We all survived Chuck E. Cheese. We blew through 100 tokens in no time. LOL It was fun to just hang out for a while and have fun. Found out too, that the manager decided that the school will get 20% of the money instead of only 15%. Woooooohooooo! Read more:Skippy
Yippy Skippy 2007-03-02 02:28:00 Guess where we're going tonight? Chuck E. Cheese. You are all jealous, I know it! LOLSeriously though, we're doing a fund raiser for Youngest Princess's school. The school will get 15% of the money tonight. Hope they do well!! Read more:Skippy
Jeff Childress 2007-03-02 02:15:00 Many of you know that one of my jobs is bookkeeper for our church. I listen to a lot of Christian music while at work. Jeff Childress
is a christian singer who also has a country flair. Go check out his site, he's got many songs up there to listen to.One of my favorites is called Soulmate. Listen to the lyrics and you can hear the love for his "soulmate" that he feels. I would be so thrilled to have had that song written for me.Jeff also has a song he wrote about our service men and women called Blood Bought Liberty. He wrote the song after helping a neighbor's wife with some work on her house while her husband was deployed. He posted the story with the song, so go check it out! It's a great song!
Shopping+Empty Stomach=Bad Kelli 2007-03-01 02:15:00 Oh boy, I was hungry. I went to Walmart to pick up a few things. BAD IDEA! I came home with the stuff I had gone for, but a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs, more Cadbury Eggs and more Mini Cadbury Eggs jumped right into my basket! We also got Peeps that Youngest Princess picked out for her and her sister. Blech! Hate those things. Oh and on a separate note, this year there is green Peeps too! We, however, got pink.I just went and looked.....green Peeps aren't the only thing new this year. They're also making sugar-free Peeps, made with Splenda and cocoa Peeps. LOL Read more:Shopping

It's a Blizzard Out There! 2007-03-01 02:06:00 Ok, so the schools had a delayed opening this morning, right? Guess what? Not a single flake fell. Bahahahaha I bet someone at the school district has a lot of questions to be answering! I was out taking Oldest Princess to school and it was rain. Granted, there was some "thicker" rain on my windshield, but no real snow. Oh and guess what? We're supposed to be getting snow tonight. Sheesh, I guess I should check the district website. I'm sure they've closed it already!My boss is funny. He asked Oldest Princess today if she'd heard they're having a two-week delay for school starting today.....you know, cause it "might" snow sometime next year! Bahahahaha Read more:Blizzard
City Shuts Down 2007-02-28 16:20:00 We're expecting snow. No accumulation, per se, but snow. Guess what? Our schools are on a two-hour delay. I haven't seen one flake today. We're so not used to snowy weather here, so the city shuts down. I'm not even sure we have a snow plow. LOL
Sickies update 2007-02-28 16:12:00 Phew! I was able to get the prescriptions from Walgreens yesterday with little to no problem. I thought for sure I'd have a problem, we always do. But I went through the drive through, picked up Craig's insulin and Oldest Princess's two prescriptions, or so I thought. I pulled away from the window and luckily decided to check. I mean I just spent $75 on prescriptions, I was going to make sure I had them all. Good thing I did. They didn't give me Craig's insulin, which they had forgotten to take out of the refrigerator. *sigh* So after sitting in the drive-through for 15 minutes, we had to go inside anyway. There were literally about 10 cars behind us so I figured it would take forever inside, but there was only one person in front of us. Phew! Was able to get Craig's insulin with little to no trouble. Yay! So anyway, Oldest Princess is feeling a ton better! Her attitude has improved as well. Bonus for us all! LOL
Loans 2007-02-28 15:50:00 About a year ago or so, we refinanced our home. We went with the same institution that carried our previous mortgage. We had had good luck with them and gotten a low interest rate, but I would have liked to have a site like this one for comparing mortgage rates to see if we could have gotten a better rate from someone else.With the refinance, we also paid off the credit cards. But, we have since used them again. With the one card we have a high interest rate. We need to find one that isn't so high. The site compares credit cards in the U.K. I think that's such a great idea to be able to compare them all in one place!I've been trying to put extra money into our savings account. I'd like to have a little cushion in there. I always have, and it has come in handy at times! If you're in the U.K. and looking for comparisons of interest rates on your savings accounts check them out! www.nationsfinance.co.uk even has comparisons on car insurance with online discounts going thro Read more:Loans
Memories 2007-03-03 03:23:00 Bahahahaha, National Lampoon's Vacation is on right now. I've seen this movie so many times and laugh every time. Yeah, it's stupid humor, but sometimes that's just what you need, you know? Poor Aunt Edna. LOL
It's Only Money, Right? 2007-03-03 03:01:00 I had to take my wedding ring in to be fixed today. It's needed to go in for, oh, about 5 years now. LOL I was missing a couple of prongs and where they had welded my engagement ring to my wedding band, it had cracked. I've noticed recently that another prong must be loose because I was catching it on stuff and I even scratched my face with it. I told the girl behind the counter that I was missing prongs and she said, oh no, I'm sure they're just worn down. She took out her little eyeglass thing and said to the other girl, look at this, they ARE gone. *eyeroll* She then said, "I'm surprised you haven't lost the diamond out of it!" Whatever. So anyway, I get my ring back on Thursday....after I give them $124.50. LOL They said the weld would just crack again because it was so thin so they were going to have to add a shank to it. I also needed it resized 3/4 of a size bigger. Wouldn't of had to do that if I had just lost the weight I keep meaning to lose. :-/ Read more:Money

The Ultimate Blog Party 2007-12-31 17:02:00 This is a sticky post...current posts are under this one. Thanks!Party
on, Wayne! (love that movie hehehe)I'm Kelli, married to Craig for almost 14 years. We have two beautiful Princesses, ages 12 and 5. Oldest Princess enjoys band, dance, computers and riding her quad. Youngest Princess enjoys Princesses, My Little Pony, turtles and riding her quad. I work as a bookkeeper for our church and also work for a company that monitors online message boards and chat rooms. I used to also work for an attorney here in town as a bookkeeper, but since he moved to a different city, I'm down to two jobs. lolIn our free (ha!) time, we enjoy camping, riding our quads, and basically just being outdoors. I personally enjoy scrapbooking and photography. I'm also a huge Disney freak! I would love to live closer to Walt Disney World or Disneyland. Anyway, that's "all about me".Party on, Garth!

Teacher Appreciation Week 2007-03-05 17:16:00 UGH! My mom just called me as she was taking Youngest Princess to school. I'd forgotten it's Teacher
Appreciation Week. My friend's kids are bringing their teachers a daffodil. I don't have any flowers growing right now. I hope Youngest doesn't feel too bad. I told her to color her teacher a picture instead.
Housekeeping Channel 2007-03-05 05:59:00 Boy do I need to peruse this site! My house looks like a tornado went through it! It's the The Housekeeping Channel
. Go check it out! It has different categories for each room of your home. It even has tips on cleaning your windows, walls and ceilings! There is even a place where you can do a search for a cleaning service in your area. If you don't want or need to search by room, you can just go to their list of articles or reviews and browse through them. Pretty neat feature, I'd say!I'm definitely going to be digging through this site! My house really needs it!

Oldest Princess 2007-03-04 17:42:00 Looking back over my posts, it seems I don't post much about Oldest Princess
much. She's just in that stage where I get the "look" if I ask to take her picture or I get the heavy sigh if I ask if she wants to go do something. It's not that she doesn't have things going on, etc., she's very busy, just the age, I guess. Yesterday, Craig and Oldest Princess did go see the movie Bridge to Terabithia. It had one part in there that was a surprise to her, but I won't say anything more on that so as not to give it away.
My Little Pony 2007-03-04 17:26:00 Youngest Princess and I went to see The World's Biggest Tea Party!! She absolutely loves My Little Ponies. She had a ball at the show! We were second row in the center, but it turns out they didn't sell the first row, so then we ended up being front and center!
Welcome! 2007-03-04 15:59:00 I'd just like to say hi to all the people stopping by from the Blog Party!!! Read more:Welcome
Poor Kitty 2007-03-07 04:00:00 Youngest Princess has a tape measure. All of a sudden I hear, "hold still now, Sweet Pea!!" She's trying to measure the cat! Bahahahahaha We're very lucky in that our cat will basically put up with anything or anyone. LOL Read more:Kitty
He's a Superstar! 2007-03-07 03:10:00 Go look! Cyndi told me that Eric was on the news but that they didn't see it. I then asked what station and my detective skills went to work and I found him! Not that it was really THAT difficult, but hey, for the enjoyment of the story, let's just say I had to work REAL hard to find it. LOLI even showed Youngest Princess if she saw anyone she recognized and she said, "J's Dad!!!!" Read more:Superstar
Keylogging 2007-03-07 02:54:00 My Oldest Princess is 12 years old. She also loves the internet. I'm not ashamed to admit that we, as her parents, have put restrictions on her online activities. We've also considered using a keylogger to track where she's been. We do trust her, but we also love her. Love her enough to be concerned for her online safety. I had an online friend who was using a keylogger for her daughter and discovered that she was chatting with older people, going to sites that were not appropriate for her and giving out way too much personal information. They also discovered that she was "cutting" herself. Because of the keylogging, they were able to get her the help she needed.I think there is definitely a place in the internet world for a keylogger.
Yay Me! 2007-03-07 02:41:00 I used my brain today! LOL I had a bunch of t-shirt designs to do for people on my Disney boards. I got the brainiac idea to bring the laptop to dance class, so after work, I swung by home and grabbed the laptop. I even lucked out when I got to dance class that I picked up a wireless network from somewhere. LOL So anyway, I got the designs all done!! Woohoo!
Another Funny 2007-03-08 03:22:00 As we were driving today, Youngest Princess said, "Mrs. N had new shoes on today!" I said, "Oh really? What color were they?" She proceeded to tell me, "you know, the color of your forehead!" Um, alrighty then! LOL Read more:Funny
Teacher Appreciation Week....cont'd 2007-03-08 03:10:00 I keep forgetting it's Teacher
Appreciation Week. Youngest Princess and I walked into school this morning and there was a mom there giving Youngest's teacher a floor puzzle. This mom's daughter had been in Mrs. N's class a previous year. Boy did I feel like a heel. I told Mrs. N that I just keep forgetting it's TAW, but we really do appreciate you!!So any suggestions on what I should get? I thought maybe a gift certificate to a teacher supply place we have here. I'm just not sure she goes there. It's spendy! I may go take a look around though and see if I can find the perfect thing.
