Snowed In.

Wow, I feel like I haven't posted in such a long time. Although its only been a few days. We got a snow/rain/ice storm here in Massachusetts yesterday. It was supposed to be the kids first day back to school after a 4 day weekend, but they had no school. It's been a long and draining 5 days in this house. Saturday we had an amazing party for my daughter. She was officially adopted by my husband. It was a special day for her and she had so much fun.












This of course was the highlight of our weekend.

Then of course we had Monday off from school. So I got the kids dressed and headed out to hit Rite Aid again for some more FREE Toilet Paper. Well they had signs up in my store stating a limit of 6 per household. No big deal, so I grabbed 6 4 packs and headed to the register. After she rang them in, I paid with previous UP Rewards and change, only 1 UP printed. Come to find out it was a limit of 1. So after a bit of confusion, I returned 5 of the 4packs and they gave me a $5 Gift Card cause they couldn't give me back the UP Rewards I used to purchase them with, cause they were already voided. UGH. Glad I was able to get some when the sale started on Sunday.

This brings us to Tuesday, NO school for the kids and more snow, rain and ice. So we stayed home in pajamas.

Finally the kids are back to school today and I am getting back to my normal routine. I am feeling much better and feel like I am accomplishing things. After dropping the kids off at school, I came home and made a phone call. I called to cancel our old Auto Warranty from the Rav4 we just traded in. I was able to score a pro-rated refund of $792.50. WOOHOO. I am so so so excited about that. Of course that put me in a good mood.

Did some errands this afternoon with Mr J. Went to Target and returned one of the Toy Clearance items I purchased last week. It was supposed to be for my neice for next Christmas. I was so excited about the 75% off that I didn't bother looking close enough at the actual present I purchased. I had initally thought it was a jewelry making kit, but after bringing it home, my lovely husband pointed out that it was candy jewelry and that it expired 10/11. LOL. So that was just not gonna work. I returned that item and I got 4 bottles of Soy Sauce for .84 TOTAL. I also bought a box of Quaker Oatmeal Kids Mix Kit for .75 after using a Target Q and a MQ. Figured it was cheap enough to see if the kids would like it.

We then ventured to Gap and Disney Store. I had to exchange some items that Miss K got at her party. She is almost 8 but is in a size 5/6. No biggie, I always love going to the Disney Store. We hit the Gap first. Come to find out the items I wanted to return were actually purchased at the Gap Outlet. LOL. Oh well. But I was able to exchange the items at the Disney Store. Now Mr J is fast asleep on the couch and I am ready to just sit and relax for the rest of the day.

Sorry I haven't posted many deals lately, I promise to get back into the swing of things :)
