coldplay - til kingdom com (live)

I've always enjoyed Coldplay but I've never invested the time to actively listen to them. We were watching Austin City Limits the other night and this song touched me in a way that few have. That it's a tribute to Johnny Cash makes it all the more beautiful.

childcare


I'm beginning to feel physically ill at the thought of leaving the boys with someone else so I can return to work in the fall. My stomach & throat tighten everytime I think about it. I don't know how I'm going to find someone I trust with the two most important people in the world. I can't even write down my thoughts/fears regarding this. I just tried and it made the panic feeling worse.

Please pray that God will open & close the doors needed to make it clear to us the path we should take.

saving money on e-bay

Yes, I'm a loser. Can you tell money is tight?

Always looking for a way to save a little more, I came across this site BigCrumbs.com where you can earn rebates for shopping on E-Bay. Being my wary self I spent forever checking it out before joining (bbb, snopes, complaint searches, etc.). I can't find anything wrong with it (other than choosing to create a new E-Bay bookmark in my favorites list, it was also really simple to use) so I signed up. Now when I shop on E-Bay I'll get some money deposited back into my PayPal account. Yeah! (I cut and pasted the message below from the Big Crumbs site.) If you choose to sign up don't forget to use the link below or enter me in as your referral (virge76) and then I can earn even more (you can do the same thing with anyone you refer). love you all!

Just wanted to let you know about this new website that pays us up to 36% of the seller's fees whenever we buy something on eBay. We can also get cash back at other retailers and earn extra cash when other people shop.

Just use the link below to check it out!

saving money on diapers

I know I've been really MIA - between the boys and our recent move I'm staying really busy. I'm about to be really annoying here so feel free to ignore this if you're not interested or it doesn't apply to you (only those who buy diapers need to read further). I'm big on "bargain" shopping and I couldn't resist sharing this (I actually wrote this, it's not a form message)...

The boys go through a LOT of diapers so I've spent the past few months researching the cheapest way to buy diapers. Other than someone else purchasing the diapers (yeah Grams and Grandpa!), the cheapest diapers I've found are on a website: www.1800diapers.com (I first heard about it from the Baby Bargains book)

They have diapers, wipes, formula, etc at low prices. You can get free shipping, use manufacturer's coupons & there's no sales tax. I've looked all over the Internet (amazon.com, EBay, etc.) and looked at different stores and I can't find a way to buy Pampers diapers any cheaper than through this site.

On top of that, both you and I can get even CHEAPER prices. If you sign up (either through www.1800diapers.com or by calling 1-800-DIAPERS) and give them my Referral Code, you get an extra $2 credit off your first order and I'll get a $1 credit EVERY time you order. If you choose to use this site you can then share it with others and get the same deal for yourself. If you don't want to use this site but know someone who might be interested I'd love if you gave them my referral code (we seriously go through almost 2 cases of diapers in a week so I can use the credits).

Referral Code: VICR3487

Check it out--go to www.1800diapers.com. To get your extra $2 credit, make sure you give them my Referral Code in the shopping cart screen when you're placing your first order.

And now back to your regularly scheduled program...
