Has anyone seen my blog?
By Mommy24-7 | January 20, 2008
Well, I know I haven’t! Eek. You know it’s been a long time when you can’t log into your OWN blog!! Ah, well, life is busy!
My daughter had her 3rd b-day in February…wonderful time! I am proud to announce she is now a full time sleeper in HER room! Amazing…thought it would never happen.
Just got a new car from my grandparents… they can’t drive anymore and were awesome enough to pass the car on to us! I love my current car, but will be passing that over to my hubby and he’s selling his car. I’ll miss my sunroof…but the new car has more room for “everything” including a future baby #2 …not in progress yet! Sadly, my grandfather’s in the hospital now. I’m glad we were there to visit this weekend (to get the car etc) and help get him the help he needed. Hoping and praying for a speedy recovery. Still waiting for more information. Grampy is 90 and still very “with it” mentally. It’s sad…aging. I hope that our visit did *something* to brighten his day… R drew them a pic and he was happy to see her. Remaining positive and waiting…
We got hit hard with taxes this year. Our insurance changed last year so we’ve been getting higher medical bills and then to owe so much in taxes…ugh. We really weighed our choices and didn’t know what to do in the big picture…vacation, house, debt etc. We came to the conclusion that we won’t be able to move this year as planned…and although it would be best in the long run to save, the money we get from selling his car and any extra pennies from my ebay/amazon/consignment sales are going toward our vacation…to Disney World!! We’re so excited about that. Didn’t think it would happen. We talked about it, but it was always “not going to happen.”
The main reason we want to do it NOW, is because we want to take R so much! She will LOVE it. She loves amusement parks, Disney and being a Princess. She can’t wait to fly in a big airplane, swim at our resort, go to all the parks and meet all the characters!! It really WILL be magical! She’s at such a great age. We’d love to save money by planning long in advance but like I said, we’re going now for lots of reasons, but mainly because we’d like to give R a baby brother or sister but take her to Disney before I am pregnant or we have a baby. When pregnant, you can’t do much at all and I want to ride the rides and have at least as much energy as possible for everything else. We went on a cruise when I was pg with R and I was SICK the whole time.
So much other stuff going on…just basic day to day but keeping me nutz. I’m almost at the end of my year on the board for my momsclub…it’s been great but I am so looking forward to not doing it anymore. I will be a member but need to drop the additional board duties! Hopefully that will give me some extra minutes in a day.
Trying to get ready for a town yard sale… need to organize and get stuff OUT. As I mentioned, I’ve also been selling to consignment, ebay, amazon and donating other stuff. I just want organization.
Since we won’t be moving anytime soon, I’d REALLY like to have some things done with our house. Of course we still plan to move asap so I don’t want to put money that we don’t have into anything too big but we’re here now and I’d like to enjoy it. Little by little I guess.
R’s 2 days of preschool this week are times I plan on using to tackle the organizing…so I better get to sleep since tomorrow is one of the 2 days.
R updates and other things I’ve forgotten to come *soon*.

Losing Weight is hard no doubt! Go Him!
I know how frustrating it can be when guys lose weight “so easy” and us girls well…it takes a little more effort.
