What Has Become of ME?

Seriously? I just blogged about dishwasher detergent?! What the.....well, if that doesn't give me a clue that I have turned into a frumpy housewife, I don't know what will. The funny thing is, I was planning on getting back to my regular blogging schedule this week, and guess what I had planned....ANOTHER cleaning product! Ironic, huh. Oh, well, don't care, I'm doing it anyway.
So, for my Worth Your While Wednesday viewing pleasure, I have....dunt duh duh duh.....a really cheap way to make Mr. Clean Magic Erasers! I was at the Dollar Tree earlier this week, and just happened to stumble across this:



which, when you take it out of the bag (duh), looks like this:



only not cut apart, I'm just not smart enough to remember to take pictures of things before I cut them up. ANYWAY, the above photo eventually turned into this:



Yay me! Four Mr. Clean Magic Erasers for a dollar! They are made from the exact same stuff, and they work just as well. So run, don't walk, to Dollar Tree and pick a whole bunch of these up. On a side note, they were not in with the regular cleaning supplies where they should have been, they were on one of those metal racks at the end of the aisle. I don't even remember what aisle, I just know it was NOT the one I would have put them in, but, WHATEVER, I don't work at Dollar Tree.

So there, I blogged about another cleaning product! I don't care, I know my life does NOT revolve around cleaning (just ask Adam, ha ha!), so it doesn't bother me (as much as it did at first). But it's definitely worth your while to check it out.

Oh, and congrats to all my Biloxi friends, enjoy your new Target!!!!

Something Cool

OK, since I can't sleep because my back is hurting, I'm going to share something cool I found: it's called Swagbucks. It's really neat, all you do is search their site (like Google) and post links to them, and you earn prizes like Amazon gift cards, and all sorts of cool stuff. I'm just getting started, so I'm learning along with you, but so far, it seems pretty cool! Here's the link, and yes, I get points when you click on it, it's like a refer a friend sort of thing:

Have fun! They even have a facebook page where they have contests with codes and stuff. Check it out!

Motivate Me Monday and grrrr.......

I'm so annoyed! I finally have a Target in the area, and they don't have fresh produce. I found a coupon for a dollar off a lb. of apples, and they are on sale at Target for 1$/lb. Grr. I wonder if the commissary has apples on sale....

I'm really into apples because I used the dehydrator to make apple chips this weekend. They turned out soooo yummy - just ask Ayden, he ate them all in sacrament meeting, lol. Anyway....here's my list of things to do today for Motivate Me Monday:


-figure out if Ayden is actually enrolled in Early Head Start next year

-finish the pile of laundry waiting for me

-be consistent with Ayden's time-outs (that is obviously an ongoing one!)

-potty-training (another ongoing one)


I love going through and finding everyone's blogs with cool stuff on them. I found a really great one where the girl uses her food storage to make a bunch of great sounding recipes (store what you use, use what you store). Her link is on the top right. If you can't see it, her blog is called Safely Gathered In.

Whoops, I missed a day! I've been meaning to write something every day. Oh well, you can't win them all.....

I am loving Sirius radio that hubby started up again. They have a "Spa" channel, and it plays really relaxing music. It's on all day at my house! I actually have today off, for some reason, the only day I really WANT to work (because I get to wear jeans to work on Fridays), they never schedule me! Go figure. I'll have next week off, though, cause hubby is on stand by.

The house is looking better. I'm doing pretty good on keeping it clean, just still have that mountain of laundry, argh. I wish it would just do itself :s But speaking of doing itself, this lady came through my register the other night and bought a Black and Decker Scumbuster, which was on clearance for $10, down from $30, and said it was the best thing for cleaning your bathroom! She said it did all the work for you. Well, she actually said it to her friend, but I was listening....anyway, I bought one last night, and I can honestly say this is the only time I have ever sat in anticipation wanting to clean the bathroom, lol. I also bought a whole bunch of placemats on clearance for.....drum roll please......10 cents each! Can you believe it? They are normally $1.50 or more each! I bought probably 50-60 placemats, 6 kitchen towels, my Scumbuster, some pretty napkin rings, a new rug for the kitchen, some silicone potholder gloves (4), and a rack to hang my potholders on, and I spent only $25! And in case you're wondering WHY I bought so many placemats, it's to make
http://www.jcarolinecreative.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=JC&Screen=PLACEMAT placemat purses. Fun and easy. Well, my dishes are calling me, maybe I'll write more later. Hubby took the boys out to look at new trucks (for him), so I'm taking advantage and I have the whole house, with the exception of the dining room, clean. Happy Friday!
