busy

Can you believe I have actually been too busy to blog and tweet like I used to. It feels good I cant lie but everyone needs a day off lol. So I don't really want to talk about me but I went to watch the news and read a couple of things online and I cant find anything that actually catches my eye in the world. There are obvious things going on with other countries and not that I am not sympathetic to it all its just not something I want to blog about. I was reading the Wall Street Journal a few mins ago and there was an artical about Sam's club discussing the downsizing of jobs by 11,000. Thats such a huge number and such a horrible thing to even consider. All the jobs that are being cut are for its part time employees. Its sad to think that someone could be working part time because they need extra income or they are working part time because their schedule with their children does not permit them to hold a full time job either way its horrible. One of the reasons that they are cutting the jobs is because of the outsourcing thats going on with them and Walmart. With a store like Sam's club who sells things in bulk there is always a change that a company can feel as though they will make more money with selling in smaller quanitites. One thing about Sam's is that they do charge you a fee to be a "member" so in order to buy in bulk there is a charge per year also some assume you are saving a lot of money in these types of wholesale places but you need to do your research on the items you select. When I was pregnant with the twins everyone told me it would be best if I shopped there for pampers and baby food they way I determined if this was financially smart is I went there and price their papmers and came up with a per pamper cost (by takeing the price of the box and dividing by the number of pampers) then I went to Walmart and did the same thing with a smaller box but one that was not on sale and I came to find that in fact I wasnt going to save any money just simply time. The reason one can benifit from this store if you are not saving money is if you don't want to make several trips to the store and regardless of cost you just want to make one trip then yes this is the place for you. I personally feel as though if I want to save money and time I will simply ask the Walmart store for what I want but in a larger quanity...be paitient and wait for them to get it from the back.

In a more personal news my twins start daycare tomorrow. Its been 2 years since they have been in daycare and I know its going to be an emotional day for me. They went last week and spent some time with the children in their class to just do a trial run and they loved it. My biggest concern was my youngest twin because he is very clingy but he did just fine I actually made him think I was leaving so I could go do paper work and about an hour and a half later I went to get him from his class and he didnt want to leave. It was amazing and we are truly blessed. I am so happy for the boys as I have said before this has been long coming. Ok well its time to turn in the boys are already in the bed sleeping ready for their big day tomorrow. Good night and God bless.
Until next time.........
