We're all allowed to wear our grouchy pants from time to time - better thank faking happiness if you ask me! I can certainly relate to having a mindful of thoughts while trying to get to sleep, too - that's how i've been lately! Though don't worry - I am sure the boys will have a wonderful last week at home with you. They know how awesome their parents are!!
And how can you tease us with pictures - those cookies look great!!
Hope you enjoy your night :)

 

I'm wearing grouchy pants about every other day, haha. And cookies are a great way to help out with them! Or even better, cupcakes!!

 

Fruit and cookies always make me feel better!

For vacations, I check prices online (and sites like expedia) and then I call the hotel directly and get the price from them, then I go with whatever is cheapest. Not the best tip I know, and it can be kind of a hassle to check around. I've never bid on a room though, I don't like that it asks for your card info before letting you know the price.

 

I hate when I have too much on my mind. It always affects my sleep and my mood. Hope tomorrow is a little better for you.

 

i'm all over the place today too. i hate this. i left my rent and h20 check at work and didn't realize it til i was 20 minutes away. grrr.

don't be sorry for being a grouchy pants - we all have our days. i have been an emotional disaster the past couple days. i rarely have what i consider to be "bad" days but i've had a few this past month! oh well! keep smiling lady :)

 

That is not sad. It's my firm belief that cookies heal/fix all.

And I know the "out of sorts" feeling. I blame the weather. The heat is screwing with us all!

 

I can't think of anything more soothing than cookies and fruit, yummy! That is not sad at all that they make you feel better.

 

Aww, we all have those days (months in my case, lol) Life gets hectic, what can ya do? Nothing wrong with being in a mood now and then. You totally deserve those cookies! :) Food is medicine, so if pleasing your palate helps a little, why not? It all balances out.

We never go anywhere, so that's how I save on travel, LOL. We're going to Ohio in a few week's for Dustin's sister's wedding. Yay. *sarcasm* lol :D

Some days you just need to be grouchy! I'm definitely cheap when it comes to trips (which is why I usually try to go places where I have a couch to crash on), but scour the internet for coupons and discount codes and I've definitely hit the jackpot a few times!

 

on vacays i have learned NOT to go cheap on true vacays. there is a diff bewteen a nite or two or a weekend quickie trip and then a full scale, buy airline tix, take time off work, and truly plan it type trip. for those, no skimping. I want what i want, goddammit LOL and the times i have gone cheap, ive regretted it. 48 hrs or 2 nites anywhere is deal-able, 7 days is not b/c the time off, airline tix, all the other variables tick in my mind and i hate myself for blowing it.

expedia & travelocity for hotel rooms have worked for me and rental cars AFTER you purchase airline tix or hotels from them..they bundle in the cars so dirt cheap if you need one.

your car story to me, about selling it b/c of the repairs$$ ...ouch!

 

oh those cookies would cheer me up! :)

 

I definitely use discount travel sites and my AAA membership when I travel. You have to in this economy!

Hope you're in better spirits today!

 

I am loving your blog! My husband is allergic to milk and I have a niece that has Celiac's. I am definitely adding you to my blog roll!

 

I hear you on thinking too much. Story of my life. We use priceline (name your own price) for hotels quite frequently. In fact, we did that for the Philly trip and got a 150/night room for 85/night. It was really nice. Hugs to you!

 

we all get those days

 

Cookies and fruit= heaven. Seriously, we all have those days.

 

I totally use cookies as comfort food and the time making them to stop my head from spinning!

My travel booking tool to save money? It's called my husband. He is insane at finding awesome stuff for unreal prices. I don't even get involved until decision making time.

I hope today is going better for you!

 

Oh Sarena, you are most definitely allowed to wear your grouchy pants. We ALL wear them from time to time. Hopefully today you're feeling better already. Ummm, cookies for comfort food?? YES! I am all about soothing myself with a little yumminess every now and then. Right now my drug of choice is the (not gluten free) peach pie Andrew made for me. I've been slowly eating away at it for the past week. So good!!

 

When I want to save up for something, I figure out how far away it is and how much it will cost - then divid it up by weeks and save x amount per week!

It works for me :)

 

Ah your coming to NY!! We should meet up! I have been super grouchy lately too. I like to save money by using cheaptickets and sites like that. I also have a bank account in ING that I put a set amount of money in it each week.

 

Your cookies would definitely cheer me up!
