I just got a great deal

Had anyone ever heard of Groupon?  You can purchase great deals like 50% off purchases at local businesses.  I just bought a $30 certificate for $15 to a local skate shop so I can buy some birthday presents for my son.  It works like this: the groupon email goes out to people that signed up,  you have limited amount of time to purchase the deal (usually 24 hours), they have a set number that they have to sell and once that number has been met then the deal is good and you receive it and are charged.  If they don't sell the set amount then it's No Deal and you won't be charged.  Basically, the idea is they will sell you a great deal if a group of people go in on it.

Check it out! It's great and legit.

Girl Scouts

Troop 3080 on a Hike.

Girl Scouts seem to be more fun this year.  We have a good meeting location (school cafeteria).  We have parents willing to help so much and the girls are awesome.    I think this is going to be a good year for Girl Scouts.

Silly Troop 3080 on our hike.

Labor Day weekend

Saturday was a busy day for the family.  We got up extra early to go to the Balloon Classic.  It was fun and the girls got a patch for their vest.

After watching the balloons launch we went home and took naps.  We were going to a Sky Sox game that night so we knew we would be up late.
We had extra tickets so the girls ask one friend to come along then stay over. 

Lacey invited Emma

Shelby invited McCaela

All the girls bought a basement with a case in the store.  They had so much fun watching Sox the fox that they decided they wanted him to sign their balls.

It was great fun.

Making memories. 

The past week

The past week has been horrible.  Dakota ran away on Sunday.  Found him at school the next day.  He had spent the whole night at Wal-Mart.  The school recommended I take him back to the hospital because of this incident and cutting.  They admitted him even after saying they didn't have a bed.  He is very unstable.  Poor guy.  The doctors have change the dosage of his med and started a new medicine.  Through talking to a therapist we come to the conclusion that Dakota has abandonment issues because of an incident that happened when he was five.  They are going to tranfers him to the residential part of the hospital and keep him 2 weeks or more. Gosh, I hope he gets better.
I've been so tired this week.  I've had animal visits ever morning so I've been getting up at 5:15 am.  Tomorrow we are getting up around 4:30 to go take care of dogs then go to the balloon classic.  Tomorrow night the whole family is going to a Sky Sox game.  The girls invited a friend and they are sleeping over.  Should be a good time and a busy weekend.
