2-8-10

I hate this time of year!
Everyone's couped up and
sharing germs in small spaces.
Then as if that isn't bad enough
you go to work and school and
get everyone elses sickness.

I couldn't tell you how many
times I wash my hands daily
Or use antibacterial stuff.
Still hasn't done any good.

I started getting diarrhea a month
ago and it hasn't let up.
I threw up twice yesterday but
I am pretty sure it was the medicine
that gave me an upset stomach.

Last Thursday Jonathan was sent home early
from school due to throwing up.
I kept him home Friday.
That's when he started getting
diarrhea and still has it.
He got sick once today.

Last night Christopher woke up twice
and threw up and now has diarrhea.
He got sick one time today.

I AM SO READY FOR SPRING AND WARMER WEATHER!!!

Keeping the kids home today from school.

We are under a Winter Storm Watch.

from WBNS 10TV:

Chris Bradley said that snow will accumulate up to 8 inches across central Ohio.

The bigger impact may be the temperature and winds. Temperatures will be in the teens and 20s, meaning the snow will stick to roads. Wind gusts up to 40 mph will cause severe blowing and drifting snow, reducing visibilities.

Look for increasing clouds on Monday night, with light snow by morning. Lows will fall to 21 degrees.

The winter storm begins on Tuesday. We could see 2-4 inches by the evening rush, and then another 1-3 inches possible on Tuesday night. The high will reach 32 degrees.

We could see another inch of snow on Wednesday, Bradley. Highs will remain at 32 degrees.

Target's Coupon Policy

It's good to keep store coupon policies
handy in your coupon binder. Because at
some time there will be a cashier that will
give you problems!

I guess some people are having problems
stacking coupons at Target.
What is stacking coupons?
That is where you can use a store coupon
along with a manufacture coupon.

-------------------------------------

Some cashiers like to tell you
you can't use more than one coupon
on multiple items because the coupons say
one per purchase.
One item is a purchase.
The cashiers confuse it with a transaction
which is your total order.
You would think they would know the difference
but I have had my run ins with this problem!

-----------------------------------------

99% of the time I use manufacture
coupons on Kroger's manager specials.
Twice, one of which was recently, I have had
cashiers tell me I could not use coupons
on the mark downs. I don't know why.
So I just wrote Kroger corporate to see
if I could get an answer.
I probably know their answer already as I've
heard it many times,
It's up to the store manager.

If you ever have a problem with any store
that can't get resolved, don't hesitate
to go to their website and write the
corporate offices! I have and in most
cases I have been right!
