Sorry - I haven't had a chance to post lately. Just busy in the Watson household.
Over the past couple of weeks many many things has happened to impact our lives.
First! IT'S A BOY! Yep! It is official! My sister is going to have another boy. The boys are SO excited! Chase has named him George Silly. George (from curious George) and Silly (because all babies are silly!). The little peanut is healthy and all blood work came back with no problems. She is due June 19th, but it will probably be around the 12th.
Which leads me to my next thing. Just right before the baby comes (because he and I have had a heart to heart about coming early), I will be in the wedding of one of my last friends to get married (JC - notice I said ONE of my last). I am so excited for Ande and Todd!
Which goes into my next event. My other really good friend, has been accepted into the Peace Corps. She is SO excited. It has been over a 2 year process and has been very lengthy. She was assigned to the country of Suriname in South America. Will has his concerns (because they have the biggest mosquitoes).
Good luck to you three women! I am so excited for you and happy that I am apart of your lives!

Let's make a deal!
My sister got me hooked on couponing and finding deals. I LOVE looking at my deal sites to see what is out there. C is much better than me in finding them (like 25 books for $4!). I thought I would share some of the sites we like to check. Please feel free to comment and add any websites you like to check. I will try to keep you posted if I see anything you cannot live without!
http://dealnews.com/ - This is one of my favorites! They do a good job in organizing the deals by topics.
http://www.fatwallet.com/best-deals/ - I really like this one especially looking up on line coupons. It is always a MUST to search for online codes. Sometimes you can get free shipping and that will save you bunches!
http://www.woot.com/ - Woot is a must! You MUST check it everyday, especially when they have a "WOOT" off. This site features one item a day and sells it until it is all gone. Shipping is only $5 no matter how many items you buy! Tuesdays are 2 4 Tuesdays. You get two of what ever they are selling for the price of one.
http://www.travelzoo.com/ - This is a great site if you are wanting to go somewhere! This sites tracks all of the travel sites and puts them in one place.
Here is one of the great deals I found today if you want a new PC. Check it out!

Friends Are Friends Forever
I am so excited! One of my childhood friends is getting married. I think she is the last one. I am so excited that she has found someone that she wants to spend her life with.
Thinking back over my childhood, I have been so blessed to have so many friends from so many places. Childhood friends, GA/Acteen Camper friends, work friends, family friends, and relatives I think of as friends. I thank God for all of them. They all have contributed to my life in some way.
Several years ago, my mom reunited with friends she knew in the 2nd grade. They had not spoken in forever, but now they are the best of friends. Three of the four have ended up living in the same City! I have seen them lean on each other and rely on each other when no one else was there. I love to hear their stories and love to catch up on their lives (through Mom).
To all of my friends, and friends of friends...you mean the world to me!

TUESDAY
Woo Hoo! We made it to Tuesday!
T - TIRED - as usual, the family was running around tonight getting supper, baths, homework, and cleaning rooms (that really didn't happen). As we all settled down we watched America's Funniest Videos. My kids love it! We try to watch it together. Now, Will has it on DVR just in case we "miss" it.
U - UNIVERSITY - I am still going to school. I had it set out that I would graduate 12/2012, but I may be one class short due to the fact I only took two classes this semester. I am taking 2 nine week class. This one is the History of Career and Technical education. It is so boring! But...I am seeing how things have changed especially since this is the profession that my dad was in.
E - EARTHLY - I had to reach for this one. I am trying to get my kids (and BIG kid J) to eat and drink organic. It is amazing when they do not know that the milk is different. BUT, I cannot believe how expensive it is! No wonder people are over weight and eat too many processed things! Bad stuff is cheaper!
S - SUNSHINE - I have really enjoyed these past few days. It is like Spring. The birds are out and my flip flops are out. I know that we still have some cold weather coming, but it sure is a sign of hope!
D - DOUBT - It seems that I have TOO much doubt in myself. I made a comment the other day that I didn't want to make anymore decisions. I was tired of people depending on me. What I didn't realize is I depend on me. Not only to other, but my LIFE depends on me and the decisions that I make. I am going to try to put more faith in myself and think about how important things are before acting.
A - APPLES - (I am stretching on this one). I am so excited! I made some of my grandmother's famous chicken salad. It has grapes and APPLES and can't wait to have some! It is only 2 points per service. YUMMY!
Y - YESTERDAY - Thank goodness yesterday is gone and we made it through another day. Take things one day at a time and cherish everything you have day today. Always tell the ones you love that you love them and they make you proud!
So that is just about as much as my brain can do tonight. Tomorrow is my WW meeting. I lost 6lbs last week, so I am hoping to be a "loser" tomorrow. We shall see - Until then! MINI
