It's hard to keep up with my blog since I don't think anyone reads it. Grr.
Pointless.
Anyhow this week Harper is feeling much better. She's not really eating like she should during the day and giving her caretakers a hard time, but I'm okay with that as long as they are not giving her a hard time.
I want to stay home with my girl.
I want more PP. I'm running out slowly but surely I just don't have anymore of my favorite brands. I need to buy a pack of cards so I can start on my cards for the future, and I need to start Xmas shopping when I get some MOOLA! Yippee!
I'm excited, and I feel like I'm high off these glue fumes that are in my office, eek! I want to have a good night tonight, and I'm seriously craving chocolate!
Harper's Sick...
Been at home with Harper since yesterday. On Tuesday night Harper started running a pretty high fever. It peaked at 102.7. I administered infant Tylenol at midnight, 4, and 8 because her fever hadn't come down. Finally I gave her a warm bath yesterday morning and the fever broke. Took her to the doctor and they put a little catheter in her tootie. She didn't seem to mind for some reason, she was mostly upset because they were holding her little legs down. That came back negative. They sent the urine off to be cultured though. Then took her to presby for blood work. She cried, but she eventually got over it. She didn't like the lady squeezing her little footsie. After that though she was smiling and laughing. The blood work checked out okay, so the doc says she probably has 'enterovirus' I don't know what that is, but whatever. He say she should run a pretty high fever for the next 3 days, so I'm keeping her out of school till Monday.
Today she is acting much better, but she seems to feel better during the day, and she fusses and screams at night because she's miserable. It's been a rough couple of nights for everyone at our house.
Tomorrow my mom is staying home with Harper though. I have a feeling she'll be better feeling by then. Monday she returns to school.
I work on Saturday for graduation, then my friend is coming into town, and we are having dinner with her and all my old pals! I just need to figure out where! Gavin will be volunteering at the nursery, so I need to find someone to watch Harper for us. Hm.
Now I'm off to shower and then scrap a little. I haven't gotten to scrap since Saturday, and I received some wonderful stuff in the mail this week from my gal pals!!! Eek!
Looking forward to this moment of silence!!!
Tonight if Harper is feeling well enough Gavin and I might go see a movie since it's discounted tonight.
Our 3rd wedding anniversary is in a few days and we don't have the money for gifts or for anything nice right now, so this might just be it till next year! Gavin hopefully will get a new job soon or at least after we go to San Antonio. That trip is in just a few weeks. Yay! Even though we're broke we are still going. We've been planning to see family since well... before Harper was born. Fun stuff..
Case of the Mondays...
Ugh. Gavin has to get a part time job. It sucks, but it just has to be done. We are just not pulling in enough money to pay for Harper's school, groceries, credit cards, car, insurance, phone, tv, elec/gas, water and other stuff.
This sucks.
When I stop nursing I will definitely get a PT job as well. I may have to put school on the back burner until Harper's out of daycare or something, or until Gavin gets a raise or I do. This sucks.
Just sucks!!! It makes me crazy worried since we can't pay for Harper's school. Luckily my parents are going to help us out a little, but still we are adults and shouldn't need the help of our parents.
I just hope and pray that Gavin doesn't have to apply all over the place for a 2nd job, and I hope that Lowe's hires him right off the bat. He's a great employee, and goodness WE are desperate for extra money. Just enough to cover Harper's school at least!
On a lighter note, I had a great time this Saturday at my crop. I don't feel so bad because it was only $5 to get in. I met some wonderful ladies, and I fully intend to go again.
This Saturday I work graduation for 2 hours, while Gavin will be volunteering at Harper's school to get his volunteer hours out of the way, and then we are supposed to go out to dinner with our old friend, but I don't know if we'll be able to really afford it, so we may use part of my student loan to pay for dinner. Eek. At least I'm still enrolled so I won't be paying those back right away. Blegh!
Also I'm taking a break from buying scrap stuff until we have extra money. I can use my stash for now.
I'll post later... feelin' kind of down.

Okay so tonight I have a wedding to attend, wee! My friends are getting married, teehee!
I have a date tonight after the ceremony. We have decided to skip out on the reception just because we don't want to stay away from Harper for too, too long, so instead we are going out for a quick dinner at TX Roadhouse because my fat self is craving rolls, butter and chicken fried steak, yum!
I know, I know I can't quit talking about it, but I'm going to a crop this weekend, nanana boo boo!!
I pack my stuff up last night. I hope my madre isn't angry I took all of her creative memory stickers out of the creative memory binder and pouches and put all of my own stickers, thickers and other awesome stuff in there. Whee! I was able to condense most ALL of my stuff into a creative memories shoulder bag, creative memories sticker binder, my memory lane canvas bag and my little tool kit. Yippee, that means I'll have more scrap room on my table, teehee!
Oh yesterday a new wonderful friend from Scrap Freak gifted me some of her stash. I can't wait to received it in the mail and add it to my slow growing stash. I just can't wait!! She's gifting me some fibers and flowers, whee!
Now I need to pay it forward :D I'll have to find something in my stash that I can give to someone else. I know that I have some extras of cardstock stickers (like doubles) so I may RAK them to someone who wants them....
I may start doing this like once a month, and I've decided that I'm going to start making my own cards for people. It may be kind of time consuming, but it will be very special I'm positive!!!
Yipeee! Enjoy your weekend folks!

Deals a day and other scrap sites...
Blegh..
I'm dead today. It's so busy my mind is fried. I need more sleep. I want to see my little girl. I want to snuggle my sweet hubster, and I want to SB. Eek. I'm going to a crop this weekend in Frisco, and I can't wait. I'm so glad that Gavin supports my new hobby. Harper stayed with her granny Pam today, and I know she had a lot of fun. She's practicing how to sit up. She's having more tummy time, and she's getting a lot of talking done for sure!
My mind is drawing a blank today, so no more to update really, well except for this....
