Ok... So yesterday I went to CVS ready for an incredible deal... Ha.. so I thought. UGH! CVS in our area is starting to get a little picky about coupons. I think people are really starting to catch on to this Extra Care Buck (ECB) stuff. Well.. I had an ECB for 10.00 off a purchase of 50.00 or more. Well I worked it perfectly with my coupons etc. What the coupon forgets to say is that it is after taxes and after coupons! So it ended up my 17 items cost me 8.00 and all 34 ECB's I had saved up. I was extremely disappointed. It comes out to 50 cents per item which really isn't bad for what I got. I probably would have said forget it, except for the fact that Benjamin's been sick and his fever seemed to spike while I was at CVS and he only wanted to be held. I was trying to go through coupons, find the correct things in the store, and use my calculator to make sure I did my math correctly... and on top of all of it I felt like I was having a hot flash or something (maybe it is because I was holding my feverish child) It was very frustrating. I probably should not have gone considering Benjamin had a fever and we were on our way to the doctor with just enough time for CVS. Oh well you learn as you go. This was my 3rd attempt at CVS this week and it was the last chance I would have before the deals were done. 
Anyway.... I took Benjamin to the doctor, thinking he had an ear infection started. His ears were fine except for the large amount of ear wax the doctor cleaned out of one of them. It kind of made me feel like a bad mom, but I asked the doctor if I was supposed to be cleaning wax out of his ear and he said no so it made me feel better. Anyway... Benjamin has some kind of virus and is still running a very slight fever and just really laid back and wants to just sit with me. It has made it hard to get things done. Right now he is sitting on the coffee table in the bumbo seat watching baby Einstein. 
I figure he doesn't feel well and if he wants to watch a little extra tv I am ok with that :) Well I am headed off to Columbia to take my state boards tomorrow! YAY I am almost done. After that is done with tomorrow, Brad and I are planning to head to the mountains to stay with some friends for the rest of the weekend (as long as Benjamin is okay) there will be other babies and I don't want to get them sick.

Oh.. I almost forgot to mention that Benjamin is also about to have his first tooth. It is just under the skin and almost ready to start coming through. This might be part of the reason for his slight temperature. Last night my friends Shaye and Lindsey came over for dinner and to make sure we were all in line for the boards tomorrow. I made dinner (well actually my mom made most of it) and they cleaned my extremely full sink of dishes. It was very sweet of them. I told them not to, but they insisted. Such sweet friends! Well that is about all for now. Have a great weekend I will blog again in a few days!
