Mother’s Day is done!
Thanks to the ability to sending flowers online, my mom’s Mother’s Day gift is already planned and paid for in advance which means less stress for me. I am really one of those plan ahead type people and when I have the money to do what I want, I’d rather get it done then than wait around the my money to dwindle away. That is also why later this month when my financial aid money comes in I will be buying my sister’s and Grayson’s birthday gifts. I want to get those out of the way and done so I do not have to worry about them anymore. I plan on getting my sister a waffle maker so she will finally be quiet about it since she has asked for one two Christmases in a row. Now she can eat her waffles, lol. I have no clue on the Gray front. Do you like to plan in advance or are you a last minute type of person?

Dumb Pool!
I am so annoyed right now because our pool pump has to be replaced now. Since our pool cover split in half, the top layer of water in our pool and the water in the pipes, due to someone not closing the pipes off, froze. Because of this, one of the main pipes in our pool pump shattered. Ugh. My step-dad is going to try to repair the piece since he is the mastermind of repairing things, but if that does not work I guess I can add pentair pool pumps to my research list in order to find a pump that will work for us economically. I swear, when it rains, it pours! What a way to start the new year.

New Year
Wow, I cannot believe 2011 is already over. 2011 held a lot of good moments but it also was one of the most stressful years of my life since I started my education program at West Georgia. I cannot tell you how stressed that program made me. I am so glad to finally be done with it and to be enjoying my break. I have thoroughly enjoyed the holidays with my family. I loved watching my two year old opening all of his presents and the delight in his face as he played with his new toys and his aunts and uncles. This year has taught me that the most important thing in life is family and come hell or high water, I will do anything to ensure the safety of my family. Hope everyone is having a great New Year!

Cover Mishaps
After all the rain we have had recently and now the cold-front that has moved in, the cords holding our pool cover on our pool snapped because of the weight of the ice on top of our cover. I am really irritated because I bought that cover myself and invested in an expensive cover as opposed to one of the cheaper ones. I guess next year I will just invest in an automatic pool cover which will roll itself over the top of the pool instead of us stretching the cover across and then securing it with the cord and cranks. That would be so much easier because we have a deck surrounding all sides of our pool which means we have to crawl under there twice a year to take the cover off and then put the cover back on. I’m a bigger girl and little confined spaces are not my best friend. Hopefully the automatic cover will not be hard to install and will result in me not having to crawl under the deck ever again.

Advertiser’s best friend
One thing I love about social media is being able to find coupons and promotion codes easier. There are tons of coupon codes spread out through various companies’ websites, Facebook pages, and twitter. For instance, I found a pretty sweet Twitter deals Personal Creations. I also found a coupon code for my textbook rental website where I can save 10% and get free shipping. That is a deal I cannot pass up. Thanks for a coupon code website, I got my husband’s part for his jeep at a discount which means more money in our pocket. I don’t coupon just to save a little money, I coupon because the little savings I do receive are added to my gas fund and my Katie needs a vacation fund.

Backs and Conflicting Results
Ever since my mom’s wreck in 2001, she has had a lot of back problems. Her back hurts constantly and she has to take numerous medicines to control the pain. In fact, she was put on a fentanyl patch to help control the pain. Recently, her doctor has been talking about back surgery which scares my mom. We’ve had friends of the family to have back surgery only to make their back worse, but on the other hand, we’ve also had friends who have had back surgery and felt 100% better. It is really a catch-22 because there are no guarantees. I want my mom to get better but I do not want her doing something that will make it worse. After a little research, I have discovered that there are a lot of leading surgeons in the country that have high success rates. Maybe surgery wouldn’t be that bad?

Eyelash Growth
One thing my mom is very jealous of is my full eyelashes. I rarely have to wear mascara and if I do, it is the clear kind. I have long, full lashes that are quite annoying at times but beautiful none the same. My mom has full eyelashes but they are not as long as mine. She has been looking for the best eyelash growth products on the market. She recently bought her some mascara to try that is supposed to make your lashes fuller and longer. Hopefully that will work. I think her lashes look fine but considering I am not a 100% girly-girl, I doubt my opinion matters.
