Pictureless Wednesday; "What's That!!!"

This is pictureless Wednesday, (is pictureless even a word??) but I'm mocking the Wordless Wednesday blogging theme because there is no way I can post without typing something. Anyway, so Allie-Ann is on this "What's that?" kick that when she says it now I just immediately say "I DON'T KNOW, ASK YOUR DADDY!" (giggle,giggle). Just kidding, but seriously, how many things does she need to know about. She will even point to things I KNOW she knows and will say, "What's that, Mommy?" I guess it's all in the process of growing and learning. Can I also say that she is not wanting to take naps anymore....I need her to take naps.....I, so desperately need her to take naps....but it's just not happening, so we have a quiet time where she is still in her crib with lights turned off but it's quiet time instead of nap time. On most days she will just play and talk to her "friends" as I like to call them but to the normal person it's her stuffed toys. She doesn't complain and has never cried about being in her crib during quiet time and sometimes on a blue moon, she will actually fall asleep. The only good thing I can say is that she is in bed earlier when she doesn't have a nap.

On another note, this couponing thing is not working. I had a publix coupon for Juicy Juice and have been saving it for just the right moment when publix would have the product on sale b/c I had another coupon to stack with it. Well, when I was looking through the ad today I saw where the Juicy Juice was finally on sale, I said...whoo hoo and ran to get my coupon, only to find out that it expired on Oct. 17th (HOW CONVENIENT PUBLIX!!!) It was three days after the publix coupon had expired that they had it on sale. AHHHHHH! They get you every time, I've come to realization that nothing in life is cheap that is good for you. Why is that? I wish they had coupons for fresh fruit and veggies but they don't, I wish they had coupons for lean ground beef but they don't. Oh well, I will still cut out coupons and be a sucker to this game.

Wendy, My sister and I say the same thing about coupons! I got all into it at first (and I do love Publix), but I just don't have the time to do it like I used to. I have started splitting my trips between Publix and Piggly Wiggly BECAUSE PW will give you a whole book of greenbax for each coupon (up to 10 per trip)...and then, you can redeem your greenbax for gift cards to places. I got $100 gift card to Toys R Us the last time, and will at least get that again in Nov. when they offer that again! I use my coupons that don't double there! Wanted to pass that tidbit along!!! Good luck with the nap thing...both my boys quit taking naps around her age (though the car still puts them to sleep!)... :)

Stephanie,
Thanks for the tip, if only we had a Piggly Wiggly near our house. Our Publix is just down the street, so it's more convenient to us. We do have a Pig on 378 but it's too far. I've tried all stores for the best prices, and honestly Publix give the best deal and their fruits are the best. It's almost worth the drive to go to the Pig if you get those kinds of deals. Humm. Hope all is well with you and that classes are treating you well too.
