I’m not really a huge fan of shopping at the stores. I don’t like large crowds and I usually get angry if I can’t find what I’m looking for. I’m also big on comparison shopping, and if you are familiar with that, it requires checking prices at several different stores and that can become tiresom. That’s why I am a big fan of Shopping Online. I can look around for the best deals and compare prices in the comfort of my own home. A really great site for comparison shopping is www.miracleshopper.com. There you can find almost any product and compare prices with tons of other stores on the web. You can find the best deals on just about anything you want to buy. I just searched for the Nintendo Wii, and I was given a huge list of different online merchants that carried it and a link to their websites, with the lowest priced site being on top of the list. They also showed me which sites sold it in a bundle and which sites sold the console by itself. If you like to do a lot of Online Shopping and you love to save money like I do, then I would definitely recommend miracleshopper.com, they save you time and money.

So I called the Community Center where Eric would have been taking his science class tomorrow and every Wednesday this month, and was informed that the class had been canceled because there were not enough children enrolled for the month of July. The June and August classes were full though, which really sucks. She said she had tried to call but didn’t have a good number. This is because I recently switched cell phone companies and forgot to inform them of the new number. I called Eric at my mom’s and he asked if he could stay one more night over there then, since he didn’t have the class tomorrow. I said yes, though I miss him terribly, he’s having a good time over there. I am kind of annoyed by the whole situation, but it is my fault for not informing them of the new number. Otherwise they might have been able to get him in on one of the other sessions. He’s still on for the Mini Gourmet cooking classes though. He’s excited about that.
I decided that since he wasn’t able to take the science class I would use the money they are refunding me and buy him and his friend a pass to their game room and skate park. With passes to the game room, they have access to the gym also. I figure I could take him up there for a couple of hours.. maybe 2 or 3 times a week. He might enjoy himself, and make some new friends. I also plan on taking him to the skate park they have and the playground a few times this coming month. He’s also got his swimming lessons starting July 21st.
I’ve also decided that since he hasn’t been reading as much this summer as I’d like, that I’m going to set aside one hour every evening for us both to dedicate to reading. I personally believe that reading is a vital element in any child’s education and the learning process in general. It keeps your mind sharp and helps children learn to absorb and process information quicker. He’s got some really awesome books to keep him busy and we also just ordered him an Encyclopedia Brown box set from Amazon.com. Right now he’s currently in the middle of book one in the Chronicles Of Narnia series.
