Update on Pacifier

In an earlier post I mentioned how my husband had given my daughter a pacifier and I wanted to let you know how that is going.  Yesterday I didn't let her take it to day care but when my husband picked her up they were requesting that we bring it back because she was less needy with it in the afternoon.  So i guess the pacifier is staying for a little bit.  I think it helps her because she is teeth but not really sure. Hopefully it is just a phase.

Good Morning

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Wednesday :)  I just got done watching a movie that I don't think I knew existed which is In the Land of Women.  Pretty good movie. Meg Ryan, Adam Brody, and Kristen Stewart where in the movie.  It was very sad in the middle but very uplifting at the same time.  I guy goes to live with his sick grandma because his girlfriend didn't want to be with him anymore and while he is there he befriends a mom and daughter.  It comes out the mom has breast cancer and the daughter has been mad at her mom for years.  The guy ends up helping the mom and daughter repair their relationship and the mom and daughter help him get over his ex and move on with his life.  Great movie probably a chick flick though so don't make your husbands or boyfriends watch it :)

my husband has gone backwards

Ok so my almost 2 year old has never been a pacifier girl although when she was little we really wish she would have been :) but she has been a bottle girl.  she loves her bottle especially when trying to go to sleep.  I know you are suppose to take it away around 1 or so but she loves it and we let our son keep his till he was about 2 and he was fine.  Let me just say first that my daughter knows how to drink from a cup just to get that out of the way.  Ok so here is where my husband going backwards comes in.  My daughter had recently gotten a baby doll that had a pacifier and she was starting to put it her mouth and would carry it around in her mouth.  so my husband got the idea to buy her one yesterday and she has had it in her mouth.  I am not sure how i feel about this.  She doesn't suck on it but just keeps it in her mouth and will chew on it too. I know her teeth are bothering her and it seems to make her feel better and it's not like she has to have it in her mouth because if she doesn't see it she doesn't care but when she sees it she wants it. so I don't know.  last night she went to bed without a bottle but had the pacifier in her mouth which eventally fell out and she slept great. I guess we'll see how this goes did we just exchange one vice for another?

99cent store

So everyone knows that money is tight these days and quite frankly for most people it has always been tight.  So thanks to some wonderful friends I was turned on to the 99cent store.  Of course i had shopped there before for some random stuff but it wasn't until last year that I really noticed the amazing deals you can get from there.  Now the 99cent store is a store where if you see something there that you like you need to buy it then and there because it probably will not be there when you return.  They have great items even in foods.  I can't tell you home many times I have found great cucumbers, apples, squash (yes i eat squash LOL), peaches, kiwi, and loads of other fresh fruit and vegetables.  You can also find some good finds refridgerator section.  You can find sour cream, milk, lunch meats etc.  Now you are thinking they must be off the wall brands and you would be right they do have those BUT they do have name brand items as well.  Just this week I got wheat thins, ritz, and banana boat sunscreen (that stuff costs like $7+ in the stores) just to name a few. For my dollar I will continue to shop the 99cent store first then shop the other stores for the rest of my families needs.

HELLO EVERYONE

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and welcome to my blog if you haven't been here before. I am happy to report that last night that my almost 2 year old spent her first night away from my husband and I. She went to Grandma and Grandpa's with her brother and we had a wonderful night. We went to dinner at Barona Casino because we hadn't been there in a long time and to our surprise we won enough money to pay for our dinner at the buffet. We said we would only put $5 a piece in the machines and luckily it paid off. By the way the buffet they is really good. A lot better than it use to be. They added an american bbq station and it was really good. My husband liked it a lot too. After dinner we headed right out of the casino as to not be tempted by the bells and whistles of the machines. We headed to the movie theater to see the movie I had reported about in an earlier blog post called It's Complicated. The time that we wanted to see the movie at was sold out so we got the 10:50pm showing...i can't remember the last time i had been to a movie that was so late. And for me the movie was just as wonderful as the first time. My husband liked it but not as much as me but that is still ok he was laughing thru the movie. So we had a late night without the rugrats running around. it was great :) but it was great to get them back today as well. So Barona gets an A+ from me and my husband :)

dreaming of equations

I can't believe that I was dreaming about mathmatical equations last night. I had class last night which was math and ended up dreaming about equations how sad is that :)
