My Salt Lake Tribune Debut!

So about a week ago I was out on my daily walk with the hounds, looking like crap because I never do my hair or make-up before I go out...anyway, we were walking down the road and a guy passed me in a car and I have horrible vision without my glasses, so....he drives past us and parks about 1/4 a mile ahead of us and I thought he had a rifle in his hands. My heart sank to my feet. I thought we were all getting shot, but he proceeded to kneel down in the middle of the road and was taking pics of us! Little to find out he was from the Tribune and said he wasn't sure if it would make the paper but he couldn't believe I was walking so many dogs and had to get a pic, well the next morning Dr. Brian Nelson called me and said he saw me in the tribune! So...here is the pic and it looks like I have an extra hip on the right side, that would be my insulin pump with my shirt hanging over it, so besides the 8 extra cheeks and 4 extra chins on me lol, I love the pic of my critters!

Horrible Sunday Night....

Tonight was awful. We went to my cute parents like we always do for Sunday dinner and everything was going great until my Mom was carrying Gracie down their front stairs and her heel caught the stair and she went down them on her knees! She landed on her knees on cement and these are all cement stairs and she was so worried about dropping Gracie she held onto her so all the damage is on her poor knees. She was bleeding and so scraped up and I felt terrible. The worst damage was done to her knee that she had knee surgery on last June! Didn't think my night could get any worse until we went to Mark's to play games and Gracie turned into a little turd! She screamed and screamed and screamed and given she is teething, but I was so afraid we were going to give Mark a bad head again we left. So now here I sit with the bum head! It might just be a little of everything. With Gracie teething she gets me up all night long and this has gone on for months! I just feel like I am living on 3 hours of sleep and everything came crashing down tonight! Literally! Thanks for listening!

Beware: Tons of Pics!

It has been a long time since I have blogged due to the computer not wanting to download my pics but of course when Luke tries it, it works like a charm! I have Halloween pics, cute outfits from Scarlet pics, Gracie taking a ride in the laundry basket pic, Gracie in her princess costume from her cute Aunt Suzanne and her doggie costume from cute Grandma and when she would walk, the tail would wag, it was sooo cute! Gracie and Sadie, etc...

Tonight I had a ton of coupons to use so I ran to Albertson's and Smith's and I got 180 bucks of groceries for only 25 bucks! I was soooo excited! There are so many awesome deals right now! Here is a pic of the goods!

My cute, cute friend's dog passed away this morning and I sure have been thinking about her and her little Reggie. I love them both so much and I wish there was something I could do to take away the pain, but only time will heal that. Know you are loved and that I am here if you need ANYTHING!

Cute Steph took me to a Pinching Your Pennies class in Ogden Thursday night and I learned so much and I have so much to share, so I will probably be posting more deals I find and what is a screaming deal! I want all of you to score as big as I have on the coupons! If you ever have a question, I am more than happy to help!

I went shopping today with my cute friend Michelle and tried to show her some of my couponing skills that I learned from my cute Steph. She saved a bunch and got a whole trunk load of groceries which makes me happy!

As for the bleeding behind my eye update: Last year when I had Gracie I had so much bleeding on the brain that when I went in for my regular eye appt, I had bleeding behind my right eye and my doc said it was either from the trauma I went through or from diabetes and that only time would tell, so he had me come back a year later and I am so happy to report it was baby related and that it has all cleared up and my vision was great! Wahoo! The feeling has come back in my left arm and hand which is also awesome! I think things are coming right along!

Michelle got me back on the Weight Watchers Wagon since I can't drop a pound! I can't afford to weigh in every week, and since I have my lifetime already I am going to just follow the program from home and hope that works, so wish me luck! I just want to be the weight I was before I had Gracie or the same size as Jennifer Aniston, but don't we all lol.

Gracie had her shots this past Monday which is always more traumatic for me, but she survived, and yes, so did I lol. It is always about a week before she seems back to her normal self though. She is cutting teeth like a mad man. Her top two are now coming in and you know what that means? Lisa hasn't slept in a long time! Of course Luke sleeps through all of it and doesn't hear a thing lol.

I promise not to take so long to post next time! Hope everyone is doing well and is staying warm! Winter is on it's way!
