Today...

Today...there is also a saxaphone player on the corner across the street from my office window right now. He's really talented. The music floating up is really making me happy. I think I'm going to go give him a couple bucks...

ILs are the source of much frustration and humor around here. You'll see.

Today I got caught up in a lockdown at the elementary school. It was no big deal but try telling that to scared kindergarteners.

I picked up diapers for a "diaper study". I explained the guidelines to DH and when he found out we have to return the used diapers he says "are we really that poor?!" I may be cheap but I'll gladly participate if it means free diapers and aome extra income!

We did diaper and pull-up studies with Kenny! Easy money! Free diapers! What's not to love?

I'd be all over a study that gets us free diapers, lol!

I'd happily send DD's poop to anyone who'd pay me for it!

Today I may or may not have used the term "batshit crazy" while referencing DD1's batshit crazy band director during a conference with DD1's advisor.

He may or may not have agreed.

Today was my weekly "date" with K1. We spent most of the day going to garage sales in search of "a big red, white, and grey tricycle just like [his] for [K2's] birthday". K1 is bound and determined to find this at a garage sale. I tried to stack the deck in his favor by scheduling a meet up with another mommy (friend of a friend) through local yard sale website. We went to about a half-dozen random garage sales and then wandered around the parking lot outside a dentist's office while I explained to K1 that some people don't have garages so they drive around with trikes in the back of their cars to sell. K1 had $15 burning a hole in his pocket -- the pre-agreed upon price and more money than he's ever imagined. Unfortunately, it was the wrong trike! Ahhhhh! He rejected it and now I'm trying to coordinate a meet up with another mommy. I'm thinking of just buying the trike new, assembling it and hiding it in a friend's garage, and letting K1 "buy" it from them.

I pinned this headboard on Pinterest a few weeks ago thinking I'd have to make it or would never find it:

On another message board today, I was alerted to the fact that World Market makes a bed almost exactly like it, and it was on sale, with free shipping. That would have been awesome enough.

So of course I went to a World Market to check it out and discovered that they are no longing carrying it in stores, so any floor models were $299 instead of the $399 on sale price. I made a lot of phone calls and went to 2 stores to discover there was only one left in the DFW metroplex, at the store near my parents where I had to pick N up anyway.

Even better...it was damaged. Not a big deal to me because I didn't really want the frame anyway, just the headboard.

So I got it marked down to $150.

And then I had a 10% coupon.

So ~$146 with tax. BOOYAH.

Ftw!

[GreyhoundsRUs]

Awesome!!

I'm so proud of myself. I admit it.

Also, a wooden pallet fell over next to the cart N was in while I was looking at the headboard in the back with the manager. It wasn't near her, but startled the heck out of her. She might be a little traumatized, but the manager was a grandma and that may have helped me on the price too...I know. I'm shameless.
