I found a scorpion in my bathroom yesterday and I'm married to the Scorpion Master. Humph. And by the way, the most common household scorpion in Arizona is fatal to young children and the elderly. Whoa. Thanks for the intense worry you've put on me, you little fuckers. You and your shell that never breaks. I hate you. I don't like to say that but I do. You crawl up walls and you're ugly. You sting for no reason. You suck.

OCD has re-entered my life--as if I actually need to deal with that bullshit right now. Okay, actually I never need to deal with that particular bullshit, but I have to because it is an unfortunate part of my brain that is wired differently deep within my frontal lobe. Anxiety and stress bring it on, which I've had more than my fair share of recently. Sheesh-o-rama! F-You, OCD! You make me sick...literally.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Our stores are slow. Not good. I need to face budget reality. Meaning I need a reality budget--something tangible--not just avoiding Whole Foods and Anthropologie, or eating out less and stuff. I need help. Saving is not easy for me--just ask my mother. I blame my shopping habits on her. Bobby needs my help and so I need outside help. I'm going online tomorrow to look for ways to save. I have never cut coupons in my life. Wait, I take that back, I did when I was a kid and it was annoying and time-consuming. Who the heck wants to cut coupons at the kitchen table when there are Barbies waiting to kiss Kens back in your bedroom? And is it weird that I'm just a wee bit scared that the coupons I cut won't work at the store I'm at? I have visions in my head of me pulling out all my coupons and the cashier is like, "um, we don't take these." Then I hang my head in shame and say "oh, ok" as I put the coupons neatly back in their envelope. So, do all coupons work for every store, or what? Coupon queens out there? Anyone?
So--there you have it. This is Me--right--now.
I'm stressed. I'm tired. I'm thirsty. And I'm Krista.
Part of her, anyway.
Goodnite and sorry for the pessimistic woe-is-me rant.
It shan't happen again

Let it out, girlfriend, LET IT OUT! We just did a budget and I am the coupon QUEEN! Let me know if you want to chat!!
Oh and scorpions are little F*&kers!! We had to put Kaleb's crib legs in metal bowls and move it away from the wall. What kinda shite is that???
I agree, put it all out there! I am OCD, not good at saving and not a coupon cutter. You're not alone!
Thanks, guys! Amy--I will definitely be calling you to get some of your tips. I need them!!
You really need to talk to Vanessa. She is a coupon Queen and saves tons of money at the stores all the time!!! If you need to chat, I am always here!
Love ya!
Yeah, I need that coupon help too. And ew, scorpions! Yuck. That ranks right up there with cockroaches for me!
OMG! I soooo hate the coupon thing too.
I find it very time consuming to cut out coupons especially since we eat very organically and most of the coupons don't cater to people like us that don't eat junk.
I too have the same EXACT fear of the cashier rejecting my coupons. Where exactly can I use my coupons? Where can I double them and how? Grrrr....and I aways fear that and I will have a line behind me of angry people wanting to check out. And here is me, a mother of 2 that SHOULD know how a coupon works....my goodness!
