Saturday Morning Success!

I am having such a great day! I got up really early this morning to take advantage of some neighborhood garage sales. I was expecting to find lots of stuff for Kara and was hopeful that there might be some deals for baby #2.

I did just that! I found a ton of clothes for Kara, mostly stuff for the upcoming fall and winter months. I got like 20 pieces for $10! I also found brand new muslin blankets for baby. I have registered for these and they are EXPENSIVE! 3 of them go for about $36, I got three for $3! Talk about a deal!

But the best part of my day is when I found a three piece bedroom set with a crib and 2 dressers, al wood and gorgeous for a steal. I have looked up this set and it retails for around $1800 I got the whole set for $200. I did not leave this morning expecting to spend that much but I could not pass up that deal. I have been on a baby high all day from it. I can now go through and organize Kara and baby clothes and get rid of Kara's beat up old dresser.


The Lord is good! I keep getting this feeling that I truly will have nothing to worry about when it comes to this baby's needs. His timing is perfect and I know that He will provide.

P.S. We also went to the Farmer's Market with Kara. She got to pick out her own Watermelon. She took the job very seriously.

Okay readers, you may have to hang in there with me tonight. I am not feeling to good I want to go bed but it's one of those things where I can't sleep. So I decided to take some time for myself to write and relax. I lit a candle, changed into my jammies and have slow music on Paandora. See, I am feeling better already! Yesterday was great day and Kara was being so good that I decided we would cook together! Now that is something we had not tried until yesterday so I was taking a big risk. I knew that we would most likely end up in disaster. I was pleasantly surprised though and we only had 2 incidents that involved tears. She doesn't really understand the whole taking turns thing yet. So by now you must be wondering what we made. I started out looking for ingredients for dinner but then I found a can of pumpkin. I turned it around and found that I had all I needed to make a pie! Pumpkin Pie is one of Josh's favorite foods. I don't really like it but because I...

A Busy Mom's Guide to Being Sick

Yuck! The famous stomach bug has landed at our house. Fortunately, it isn't the kind that makes you want to die, it just clings to you and makes you super tired and icky. Because of this I did not go to work today. I hate calling in! I always feel like my boss will never understand, this is silly because she is actually really good about being understanding.  So if I don't need to feel worried I begin to feel guilty. Guilty that I am taking the day to lay around and recoup. I have a million things to do and Kara needs my attention, I can't just lay in bed I tell myself. Yeah, you know you have done it too! In that case I normally get up and do too much and make myself sicker than I was originally. Thus, the cycle starts over! Today I decided I would be good to my body and try to rest. But I still had so much to do! So to ease my feelings I decided to find things that I could do from either my bed or couch, all the while keeping Kara entertained. I started out working ...
