You all know that I love to shop. Well, actually, I like to shop when things are on sale or when I have a coupon or a voucher to get a better deal. Now, I do some international purchases, but I do know that I have several readers who live in the UK, so this post is for you!
Now, the best spot that I have found to get voucher codes for shopping is a site called Discount Shopping. They have a voucher code for pretty much anything you could want or need: 5% off character toys, 10% off Dell Computers, and free delivery for Woolworths. As you can see, they have a great selection of places that you can get these voucher codes for. I know it makes me want to shop more. How about you?
Not only do they have great voucher codes, but they are way easy to find. There is a great search feature on the site. Also, along the left sidebar, there are listing for hot offers, popular retailers, PC’s and laptops, and gifts and gadgets. Right now, under most popular this week, they have an awesome Pizza Hut deal (which all of you know is my favorite pizza place ever!). The voucher code would allow you to get 3 pizzas, 3 side orders or 3 cookie dough deserts all for the price of 2! What a great deal! This is one of the easiest sites out there to navigate. If you aren’t quite sure what you are looking for, you can search by categories or even by store.
If you are wanting to do some shopping, make sure you check out Discount Shopping first for voucher codes, so you can save some of your hard earned money.

Well, we got a little worried for Madison this morning. She got up and told Bill she had to puke. She went into the bathroom and started dry hacking. She then wanted some water (which we gave her) and that stayed down. She looked really pale, but said she felt fine. We even checked her temperature, and she was fine. She ended up in the bathroom one more and nothing. She just got up now from a nap, and she’s starting to act like herself again. She’s eating a piece of bread, and she was just acting goofy. Even so, I told Bill he couldn’t bring her to the South Side Parade today. (For those of you who don’t know what this is, let me explain. The weekend before St. Patrick’s Day on the South Side Of Chicago there is a St. Patrick’s Day parade. Now, I have never been to this before. However, from what I have heard, it really is just an excuse for people to drink and get drunk. Now, I may be wrong about that, but I just don’t think it is a good environment for little ones. When we were coming home from the party last night, Bill made a comment about bringing the kids. I think he also knew he should start looking at getting some life insurance quotes if he did, since he know my feelings on this.) Madison seems fine now, but I am still keeping my fingers crossed. Sick kids make for a miserable house!

I thought that title would get your attention. Also, it serves as a great warning say if your are eating breakfast and don’t want to hear about things like bodily fluids over your breakfast. Ok, on with the story . . .
My bodily fluid day started at the doctors office. While being weighed, Will proceeded to pee all over the scale and me and the nurse and himself. It was great, let me tell you. Then after we got home, Will proceeded to pee on me twice while I was trying to change him. I thought this was the end of my fun. I was wrong. About 11 pm last night, I fed Will in my bed. I was being lazy and did want to take him back into the living room which has not been a problem. Last night, however, he ate his bottle and then proceeded to throw up all over me and my bed. Not a little, mind you. I had to change my clothes, and we had to rip all the bedding off the bed. My entire side of the bed was covered in puke.
I thought we were done with this stuff by today. Madison climbed into bed with me this morning. I was feeding Will about 8 and I noticed a wet spot on the bed on Bill’s side (and I was pretty sure Bill didn’t wet the bed). This is where Madison lays when she climbs into bed with me. Her diaper leaked!!!!
So today has now turned into “let’s wash all the bedding” day. I tell you, its great being a housewife. Somebody please help me . . .

Since I am hosting the Postie Carnival this week, I figure I have to do a post for it. I love chocolate and sugar — especially when I am pregnant. However, that is not what I am going to talk about. I could talk about Madison, but who does not love their kids.
However, a question I get a lot is how Bill and I met since I am from Green Bay, WI and he is from Burbank, IL. That is about a 4 hour drive depending on traffic. We are two people who should not ever have met. Bill went to college at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). I went to college at the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay. Since the girl to guy ratio at MSOE was 8 guys to 1 girl, I use to drive carfuls of girls down to Milwaukee to party on the weekends. I dated one of Bill’s friends for a little while there, but he decided to go back home (which was in MN). I met a lot of really nice people at MSOE, so I continued to stay in contact with the guys there (including Bill).
The weekend Bill and hooked up is an interesting twist to our story. I was sick. I mean really sick. Like 102 degree fever sick. Me, being all of 19, did not go to the doctor. Why? If I went to doctor, I knew he was going to put me on antibiotics, and I could not drink if I was on antibiotics. I figured I could wait till Monday. Plus, I had a carful of girls that I told I would take down there. We got there on Friday night. The guys would hook us up too. One of the guys (Jimmy) would give up his room, so all of us girls could stay in there (we weren’t suppose to be there at all. We would sneak in.). We went to the frat party, and I clearly remember asking Bill to make sure that I did not hook up with anyone bad. Remember, at this point, we were really good friends. He was one of those guys you never think to date, because they are way too nice. We hung out at the party, I hooked up and set up a date with a different guy for Saturday night, and Bill and his friends walked us all back to the dorms. Well, the next night happens, and I got stood up. It sucked. I remembered being extremely sick and depressed. Bill stayed up with me all night, and we talked. I still remember thinking “why didn’t I hook up with him”. On Sunday, us girls went home, but I continued talking to him. We talked about what happened between us, and eleven years later we are still together.
Eleven years seems like a long time. It is even longer because the first 4 years of our relationship was long distance. Remember that I lived in Green Bay, and during the school year, he was in Milwaukee (2 hour drive) and during the summers, he was in Burbank (4 hour drive). When I moved down here in 2000, it was a hard adjustment for us. We had never spent more time together than a weekend ever. It was a transition, but we made it through. We have been married 6 years in June. We have a 3 year old with another little one on the way (in about 11 weeks).
And that is my love story . . .

Mr. President: Katrina Survivors Do Not Welcome You, We Rebuke You!
We live in a devastated city and you are a big part of the reason why it sill sits in ruins. Your administration has abandoned our children by savaging their public schools. Your administration has tortured our working class people by refusing to reopen the city’s public housing developments. And your administration is fully complicit in placing our uninsured in harms way by ruthlessly pursuing the privatization of local public healthcare in the aftermath of Katrina. And, finally your administration is guilty of sending our sons and daughters of to war for oil and empire just when we need them most to help us rebuild our community.
Mr. President, we, Katrina Survivors all, do not welcome you to our city, we rebuke you!
