September 18 So, how does Charlotte sound?No, its not a baby name and its not an indicator of what I am having, so you guys can just hold onto your panties. Most of my friends know what I am saying when I say "How does Charlotte sound?" They already know because I've told them what's in the works. Charlotte, North Carolina is where I want to be... Southern living is the life for me... Actually, I love San Diego, and it is paradise, but its for rich people.. Not normal folk like us here. That being said, we're taking off to Charlotte next month. Its been a hard road getting there, but we will make it. We're not afraid of change and can roll with these punches pretty darn well. Now that the other stuff has been taken care of, we are okay and can get where we need to go. Our car is getting new brakes! Yay!!! I am going to get it professionally cleaned out too.. I want a full detail on that baby, she deserves it. Mr. Paddles is now 15 weeks. He is happy and kicking. My diabetes is completely under control. I dont mind advertising the name choices here, as they're not retarded names or anything, LOL. If Mr. Paddles is a boy, he will be Oliver David or Noah David. David is a definite choice, its after Kevin's best friend who passed away a few years ago. If its a girl, she will be Lorelei Olivia. I will keep my close friends updated for the Charlotte Situation and everything else. Lori, don't worry, it got worked out. August 22 Apologetic for no updatesThings have been hectic here lately. Between Dr's appointments, Foundation work, kids, getting ready for kids school, and all the other fun things that life throws at you, I have not been able to update much. Mr. Paddles is fine. In fact, I am 11 weeks, and I dont have to go see the Dr until September. I am ok with that! The kiods are doing well.. Jake turns 7 in 2 days, and its going to be a fun time! We will be holding his party on the weekend, and he gets to invite 3 to 5 friends. Kieran will be starting Kindergarten on the 24th. My baby is no longer a baby.  No more late morning snuggles, and naps in the afternoons. I wont have my favorite cuddle buddy to sit with and read to anymore. I am going to miss my Pudge. I don't know if he will miss me though! I am a demanding Momma!Kevin has been working his butt off at work, and interviewing like crazy for new jobs. He's worth much more than he makes at Qualcomm right now, but he took the job as we needed income STAT. Its been good to us in the interim, but he's worth a lot more out here. He has an earning power of $50K to $60K if he uses his degree, which I am hoping he will do, as it makes him a happier Kevie. My Etsy store is picking up in sales. I sold all my PIF's but then all of a sudden I was selling more things. It seems people like my yarn colors. Yay!! In any case, I am liking the extra money! The Foundation has been ramping up for school beginning.. Its been a lot of work, and I am exhausted! Thats pretty much it around here. August 08 Fun in the San Diego SunThat's right.. Its warm and such in San Diego again. Though not nearly as warm as Yucca Valley. We went there this weekend, and I pruned my MIL's Rose bushes, while Kevin cleaned up the front patio and weed whacked around some more bushed. FIL wants some Cats Claw bushes removed, but that will have to wait until its cool enough for Kevin to wear his leathers and get out there and clear them out without getting cut to death. We got the latest news about my SIL and her deadbeat crack addicted husband. Apparently they have cut everyone off unless they want something from them. Typical abusive behavior. My MIL said that SIL looks at husband with love, but husband looks at her with disgust and acts glib and such when they are around other people. People like my BIL are sociopaths. They use people, discard them, treat them like crap and just generally have no social skills. On the outside they can appear nice, but looks can be deceiving. On the inside, they are just generally nasty people who don't care who they hurt just as long as it makes them feel better about themselves. This morning I've cleaned my kitchen.. I mean, I've given it a complete scrubdown. Kevin goes general maintenance, but I can't expect him to do it all correctly. Damn male. He does the maintenance because I just can't handle icky food particles right now. The only thing I have left to do is apply the shine sealant to the floors. Yay! I am also doing laundry at the same time. Though I hate our laundry machines. I am used to having the extra large capacity stuff from our own home in Albuquerque. Now, I have the stackables. Ugh. More loads, more wasted water. I must say that Kevin is being adorable though. He works all day, and messages me every now and then with an "I love you Blue Girl." and he comes home and snuggles with us. We all pile into my bed or onto the couch and just spend time with each other. Jake reads to us every night, and Kieran has me sing to him before he goes to bed. How sweet is that? I hope this peanut is a good kid like these two. Now, my kids aren't perfect, but they're good kids. I deal with Jake's issues and he deals with me. He's grown out of most of them though. A lot of them have to do with people getting too close to his space or too much noise going on around him. Blind kids can be picky like that. My ex and his twin have similar issues regarding noise levels and personal space, as does my best friend. At least he's good looking, LOL! He has that going for him. Kieran is so much like Kevin, I never have to worry about him. Yes, he's a sissy and I kinda like him like that, because he's got to learn to stick up for himself on his own. I will never encourage my kids to hit and be mean. That's encouraging bullying and that's a no-no. I am a strict disciplinarian, and my kids know that I am their God. I gave them life, and I will take it away as I see fit. I'm not mean, but they know there's a line they should never cross with me. This little bean is doing well. I am certainly feeling round ligament pains. The injections are a PITA, but that's only because I feel like a pincushion. I am very tired lately, which is new for me. I haven't felt this tired since 2004. In 2004, I bled for 27 days straight, and I was not pregnant. It wasnt my thyroid, and it wasn't hormonal in the normal sense of the word. I was diganosed with Endometriosis and I was a Type II diabetic, formally diagnosed. I had surgery to remove the Endo, and I ended up with a bad infection and it wiped me out for weeks. Thank goodness my Endocrinologist (Diabetes Dr. for those who aren't educated) helped me through it all. I lost a total of 71 lbs from Jan 04 to July of 04, and I have remained at a steady weight since then. Nowdays, I am not allowed to again any weight for this pregnancy, and I am doing pretty well. They are monitoring me for pre-eclampsia and pubic symphasis problems and I should be fine. Yay! Other than that, life's a freaking peach! August 01 Its been a hard day's night..In any case, I know I don't update like I should. Between the Foundation, my Etsy store, and prenatal appointments, I feel booked enough, LOL. Its not like anyone is anxious for me to update or anything, LOL. Everyone who reads this blog, I actually talk to in real life. I've been dying yarn recently, and added some up for sale. You can go to my store http://socaligirl.etsy.com to purchase. I've also been working on 5 alchemy requests. Yep, that's right, I didn't stutter, five. 2 dresses, a cardigan and hat set, a baby blanket and some baby booties and hat. I've been lucky in that some of my friends from High School still are the absolute treasures I remember them to be. 10 years later and we are all still friends, even if we are distant ones. How cool is that? I've also been best friends with Lisa for 11 years, and Sara and I have been great friends since Orientation at UNM in 1997.. Wow.. Time flies... My gypsy blood is calling me again... I feel the need to move somewhere new. I dont know why this happens, but I love moving. Its not good for the kids, but I can't really help it. I inherited this aspect of my personality from my mom, and as much as I hate her, I have to thank her for this, because otherwise I would be a closed, sheltered, and otherwise inexperienced person. I've lived the school of hard knocks.. Not fun.. I've been homeless in Portland, also not fun, LOL. But I have seen the world!! England, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada.. I plan to see much much more.. I want to see Alaska, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, North Carolina, Illinois, New York, Mass, Maine, New Hampshire, Canada, and I want to see Belize, LOL. You know what I miss most? I miss summers in Crested Butte, Colorado.. Its this little town where rich families spend their vacation time. I miss waking up to go ballooning at 5am, and working until my muscles ached. I miss walking around the entire town, admiring the shops, enjoying the weather and eating the excellent food. I miss the Chocolate Croissants, where this one bakery made these perfect croissants with a chocolate bar baked inside. I miss going up Slate Creek and fishing a 5 mile stretch, with waters so clear you could see the trout coming to take your lure on a beaver dam. Holes so perfect, you could guarantee a cast and catch.. Of course, I am a sports fisherman, so I let them go, but the feeling of catching a fish in running water up to your knees is amazing!! It puts lake fishing to shame. So, the dog days of summer having me wax poetic about my summers past. Someday, we will get to that again, someday... On the more postive news (love the horrible lead in??), Mr. Paddles is 8 weeks and 4 days today, and I got to see him moving around on an ultrasound yesterday! Yay!! My sugars are wonderfully controlled, and I have graduated to seeing the Dr. every 2 weeks now. LOL. So, that's pretty much all. I have both boys home with me for the next month, so my time is slim... July 17 Houston, we have a heartbeat*sniffles* Mr. Paddles has a heartbeat! I saw the little lima bean shaped person inside my belly today, with a fluttering heartbeat! I am sooo happy! The boys even saw the heartbeat, and were asking my doctor a ton of questions. Speaking of which, I totally forgot to ask her my new EDD. Damnit, I knew I was forgetting something. They bitched at me because of my sugars which in all honesty, are doing really well, considering that 2 months ago I was completely uncontrolled. Now, I am high for fasting and most of early morning sugars, and normal for my night time ones. They are also worried about my blood pressure. I am borderline hypertensive, and rightly so, after all of the crap that has gone on in the last month. She says I have 2-3 weeks to bring it down or I go on another round of meds. I am hoping that next week will show my pressure in a better light. So this means for me, no more power walking.. I can swim, and do light weight slow walking.. I hate that.. When I walk, I want to walk the mile in 15 minutes. Damnit all to hell, LOL. Well, at least I am not gaining any weight, and Dryers Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream made with Splenda is my friend.. Its sugar free, low carbs, has dietary fiber to knock down carbs even more, and tastes wonderful! The mint helps soothe my late night nausea. I finished another project this weekend. Its a baby blanket called "Sweet Spots", and it is available at my store http://socaligirl.etsy.com. I have found that I have made a lot of friends on Etsy, which is nice. One of them is able to check in on my dad every so often! Woo Hoo! My best friend is missing our late night fun times during the summer. You see, we used to hang out all night long at her house and at IHOP just messing around and talking gossip. We also used to dress up her cousin and watch guys drool. I mean, this girl is gorgeous, but fellas, she's taken. I remember when I tried to give her to my nephew Jimmy.. LOL! That was hilarious! Kevin has been an absolute angel lately. He helps with absolutely everything. I am so tired lately, I can't do it all, especially the squicky stuff. He's too cute for words. So are the kidlets, I have no complaints there. Well, I am off to enjoy the rest of my evening with friends, family and two adorable little boys. July 11 Bug-a-boo BluesNo, I'm not depressed. Well, I was, but Jess and Lori cheered me up, and then the boys cheered me up, and then Kevin made me a very happy lady, LOL. (Get your mind out of the gutter!! No, not that.. He negotiated our lease and we get to move to the 1st floor!) Ta-Daaaaaa! Not to mention, I get back from picking up Jake from the bus stop, and I have a sale! Someone bought my Marionberry Short Sleeved Cardigan. I am sooo happy!! I've been so tired lately, but part of that is being pregnant, and the other is getting a handle on my sugars. I've been doing really well for the most part. Hammering out my diet is the problem. 1000 calories ain't gonna cut it. I like food, and I am craving my greasy New Mexican food right now. I want my Pile-Ups, my breakfast burritos, my green chile chicken enchiladas, my green chile stew, my carne asada, pork tamales with red chile, my Navajo tacos.. You get the drift.. Luckily, we found out that the Super Wal Mart in Hemet carries my green chile! We've decided to stock up once a month on it, and feast our little hearts out, LOL! My first prenatal appointment was yesterday, and I really like my Dr. She's sweet and really nice. Great bedside manor, and talks to me like a human. She realizes that I am pretty educated about my health and pregnancy in general, she just has to hold my hand through the miscarriage scares and the pre-term labor worries. We did an Ultrasound, and saw only a sac, but she didn't seem worried. She said it looked very healthy and stuff, but she wants me back next week for another U/S and to keep a close eye on my sugars. I can only hope that next week we will see a little Mr. Paddles in there. Yes, I've named my fetus Mr.Paddles. LOL I actually cleaned today! Yay!! I mean, I've been doing basics, but I cleaned the kitchen, which is a squick factor for me right now, and don't mind the bottle of pee next to the juice in my fridge, I am required to collect a 24 hour sample, and they want me to refrigerate my urine. Oh yay! That's all for now! July 07 Ta-Daa!!!Introducing the Marionberry Pie Short Sleeved Cardigan!! My friend Jess in Texas thinks its my niche to make kids clothes, LOL! She's prolly right, as she's very in tune with how other's are. I finally got this thing finished, and you can buy it at my Etsy store, LOL! Night y'all! July 03 Body Frosting!!!I got my LushBox Sampler today.. Yummy!!! I love it! I am a customer for life. In other news, we are heading out to Yucca Valley tomorrow. Oh joy! We will break the news to my IL's then. Next hurdle is my dad, only because my psycho hosebeast of a stepmother will throw a fit, LOL! Let's just hope she's on balancing meds. I'm still working on the Marionberry Pie cardigan. I love the color of yarn I am using for it. Just sooo fitting, I think. I just couldn't bring myself to work on it today, I was too busy worshipping the porcelain bus and feeling sleepy. The kidlets are adorable as usual. Jake's been really good lately. I think its because he's in summer school and it provides him with the mental stimulation he needs. His specialists help him with things I can't, so for that I am grateful. Kieran is chattering up a storm, and is beginning writing his full name. He can read numbers up to 20, and can count to 100. Yay!! He knows his ABC's and we are working on phonics. He's a smart cookie, like his daddy. ^_^ I can't wait until my Diabetes Class on Wednesday!! Yay!!! I am going to ask about an insulin pump. I am convinced that this will be the safest and most efficient way to control my sugars while I am pregnant. Then hopefully an ultrasound on Monday, and we will be rockin!! July 02 I can't tell you enough...How much I love my husband! He spent his day making sure that I was able to relax. He even took care of the kidlets all weekend, while I worshipped the porcelain bus and started to destress. He takes good care of me, and affords me a lot of things, like nice clothes, eating out, buying me flowers, LOL. He even supports my yarn addiction. He wants me to sell, yes, but not because he's mean about it. I want to please him, and show him that I can contribute, because thats the type of person I am. He wants me to sell because he knows how good I am at this, and how much I enjoy it. The extra money is nice, but he likes my self-esteem better, LOL. My first love got married this weekend. I heard it was a beautiful ceremony! Nate really is a great guy, and from what I hear Ellyn is a really wonderful person and evens him out. That's exactly what he needs in life, and while he's a wonderfully brilliant guy who has a long law career in front of him, the stability that Ellyn provides him is what will distinguish him from anyone else in his field. So, let's raise our glass for the new Mr. and Mrs. Nate!! *claps* (I won't post his full name here out of privacy for him) My best friend had a medical crisis this weekend. Actually, on Friday. Its times like these where I wish I was nearby. She ended up going to the ER because of stomach pain. While that's no big shakes for most people, with her, it could mean another blockage or something else is wrong. She's a cancer survivor and the radiation therapy they had her on, quite literally made a mess of her insides. So she has to be extra careful. I guess she had a reaction to the meds they gave her and she was in a coma for 30 minutes. Her mom was there though, and her fiance, and she pulled through just in the nick of time to be able to go to Nate's wedding! They're cousins, LOL. So, that's whats going on in here. I am desperately trying to finish a girl's cardigan that I will name Marionberry Pie. You see, when I lived in Oregon, there was this place in Tualitin named Banning's Pie House. My ex got me turned onto this place. Its uber fab. They make the most wonderful pies and cakes, and every so often I would order a piece of Marionberry Pie. Mmmm.. So Delicious. Not to mention Tillamook Creamery makes a Marionberry Ice Cream that is sooo good, though my fave will always be Brown Cow. There are times that I miss Oregon, but then, there's the times where I don't LOL. I don't miss the hot summers with no A/C, and the mold... LOL Anyways, I can't wait to finish the cardigan, LOL! June 30 Appointments and life, LOLSo, I've been going through hell and back trying to get my ducks in a row regarding insurance. Things have been sent off to Medi-Cal and we have to wait for them to approve me. They should be receiving the package soon, and I hope it moves quickly. I went to the DMV this morning to get my license replaced. My New Mexico DL was stolen in November, and I have been getting temp licenses from them since then, and this month was the last month that they would do that for me. So, I sucked up the courage and went to deal with them this morning. No biggie, but I was terribly nervous about the whole process. Well, I took their written exam, and passed. I only missed two questions, and both of them were obscure. So, now I have to wait 2-3 weeks before my license is mailed to me. In the meanwhile, they have given me a temp paper license. I am just very proud of myself for some odd reason. I sent off my first customer's package today! Yay! It should get there by Monday, as she's only in Bakersfield. Yesterday, I spent the majority of the afternoon on the phone with UCSD to have myself set up for prenatal care. I have to go see the presumptive eligibility lady this afternoon so I can get myself set up with coverage while my Medi-Cal application is being processed. My first prenatal appointment is on July 10th, and I am very excited. We will find out then if I am having a singleton, twins and they will set my levels for insulin, etc. Yay!!! Kevin is having a heck of a time with his teeth lately. I think I will have to take him to the dentist once Medi-Cal comes through. Poor guy! We will be going out to Yucca Valley on the 4th to spend time with my in-laws, per Kevin's request. We will announce to them then that I am pregnant, and we will see how they take it. This will most likely be Kevin's dad's last 4th of July, so Kevin wants to be there for it. Other than that, nothing major is going on! June 28 Time for an update...I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging much lately. Between morning sickness, fatigue, and life, I haven't really felt like blogging. Yesterday was my appointment with Planned Parenthood. You see, they do the pregnancy verification appointments so that I can apply for Medi-Cal. Kevin's work does not have insurance because he's a temporary employee. Its frustrating and sad, all at the same time. I need coverage for this pregnancy, so I hope this goes by quickly. In other baby news, I am due 02/28/07. Let's see if I make it that far!! I would love a girl this time around, but I will be happy with a healthy bundle of joy. I want to give birth at UCSD. I have to check and see if they take Medi-Cal. Hrmm.. Something else to add to my list, LOL! Other than that, I made my first sale!!! I sold me Tres Conquistadores scarf, and I received an alchemy request for two dresses! Yay me!! Jake starts summer school tomorrow, thank goodness. I am tired of all the fighting between him and Kieran as of late. Right now though, they are being good little monkeys and watching the movie Robots and enjoying breakfast. Later today, Jake will be writing a letter to his grandpa, and Kieran will be working on his alphabet recognition with capital and lower case letters. Soon, we will get him writing and hopefully reading by the end of the summer. I have to put to use these materials my MIL gave me somehow! Let's see... Oh, and I have really been backing away from a friend because she's been very hurtful in her remarks to me and to others in general. Sarcasm is a weapon best used in person and not online. Not only has she hurt my feelings (and I am emotional right now), she really hurt another friend's feelings with her comments on fat people. *sigh* While I can appreciate being candid, there's a line to be drawn. I hate to be drawing away like this, but you've got to expect that after so many put downs, the person won't be around anymore. While I would like to be her friend, she's got to learn how to treat people in general, a lot better. She can be really nice when she wants to be, and can be really fun to be around. I am a big advocate of tact, empathy and thinking before you speak. I will remain cordial and nice, but I won't allow the hurt to happen ever again. I have to lead by example here, and set forth a precendent. So, that's my life in a nutshell... June 23 Life is funny sometimesWow! I am blogging late... Well, I think I am too excited to sleep. More on that later. Today, I have felt accomplished and like the lowest piece of trash... I just can't seem to sell anything. I get compliments on my work all the time, but no one wants to shell out the moolah to actually own one of my pieces. After a long talk with my friend Jessica, I think I need to add more gaudy bobbles to my creations.. Now if only I could find a decent button stash to buy, LOL. I did some work with the Foundation today, and we got our bank account set up. There's more to be done, but I feel safe in the fact that we actually have one. We have a Jog-a-Thon coming up next year, and I want several fundraisers to happen, but we will see what time allows, LOL. I got some excellent news this evening... Well, its official, I am pregnant. Just 4 weeks along and due Feb 28 or March 1, LOL. I guarantee I will give birth before that though! So, thats enough about me for now... June 20 Time for me to blog...So, anyways.. I am a weirdo, LOL I dont blog as often as I should, but I try to do it on a regular basis... Check out the new pics in the photo album Check out the new items in my shop... http://socaligirl.etsy.com Nothing new to report here.. Just the same ol' fun! June 17 What do you get when you invite a funny person...... to a Harvard Grad speaking event? http://www.devilducky.com/media/46949/ Introducing Seth McFarlane, who has to be one of the sexiest men EVER, just because he can do the voices of Peter, Stewie and Quagmire all in one speech!!! I loved the Stewie bit, just because Stewie is evil, but its adorable. Oh, and my Etsy Shop is up... http://SoCaliGirl.etsy.com W00T! Its fun and I am really liking it so far! We are heading out to Viejas today, cause its hot out and I want to let the kidlets have fun in the dreamcatcher water thingie. Also, I am going to talk Kevin into letting me buy some more wool yarn so I can teach him how to dye yarn!! Woo!!! So, I leave you with some final words... Giggity Giggity, Giggity Goo June 16 Needing to back awayFunny, this chick who has been bothering Jessie has made a blog basically the first part of it's calling me names, LOL. Sorry hon, when you can complete sentence with little to no grammar mistakes, give me a call. See, this train wreck is what happens when no one ever tells you "no" in life. You think the world revolves completely around you, and if that person doesn't agree with you or like you, then you're "unintelligent" or some crap like that. If I am so inept, that makes this person bottom of the barrel. In other news, my FIL is dying, and while that's sad, its been coming for awhile. He has Stage 3 Stomach Cancer and just came home from the VA's Hospital yesterday. Kieran is a perfect little angel. He has been charming these ladies at the Foundation left and right. Jacob has been doing well too, despite not having homework for 2 months. Right now, we are in the middle of a house hunt. Wanting to get the heck out of this complex, LOL. So many nice houses, not enough time. The Foundation is up and running. Its been a bumpy road, but I've gotten it there pretty much on my own. I've worked my ass off, and its starting to pay off. I plan on making this the strongest institution that the school has, and making sure that we do generate massive amounts of money each year. Gotta hit up those corporations. No problem.. I have a few strings I can pull, LOL. Gotta go do more work, you know, the thing that this other person never does. Clean sheets on bed, laundry done, and you know what? At least my kids dont poop on the floor.  June 14 Neat Little BoxesA friend of mine posted an entry of her High School graduation, and how sad it was... Well, its like that for a lot of people. Its not a special phenomenon. My high school experience was hell. A lot of people made my life a living hell in my high school. Why? Because I wasn't rich, I wasn't really skinny, and I fell in love with a 13 year old. My own father wasn't allowed to see me graduate because my stepmom walked out in a huff because my Mom's parents and siblings decided to attend. I never had a graduation party, and my senior year was a mess. In my senior year, I had my heart broken by the first love of my life, and then I found out I was pregnant, and then lost our child in the 15-16th week of my pregnancy. I never told him, at all. I ended up becoming a real whore, and really degraded myself. I drank, did drugs, and avoided anything to do with home. My stepmother tried to kill me in December of 1996, and I was told that I would just have to deal. I was the party chick, but I did it as my alter ego. I was a band geek, a good girl because I was a cop's daughter.. Yeah right! I had one friend, and even then, I was not that important to her. When I graduated, I sat with my cousin's ex and a bunch of really smart people I knew who were religious, but also kind enough to let me sit with them. In high school, I was ridiculed for my weight, my clothes, my religion, my choice in boyfriends, my choice in friends, my father's profession, my father's income and my choice in extra-curricular activities. However, High School didn't define me... I grew up and away from everything. I experienced the world, and enjoyed every minute of it. I went down the road of hard knocks and came back up from it. I survived and learned. Point is, high school shouldn't define anyone. Life and what you do with it is what defines a person. I choose not to live in that past, I choose to live my life on my terms, with an open mind. I know I don't know everything, and I like to provoke thought and growth in just about everyone. I really dislike broad statements and closed minds, and I do hope that people learn that open minds promote learning and thought, change and growth, and most of all it promotes healing and a chance to experience life through a new perspective. June 09 Love and all it entailsKevinis the love of my life. That's when he graduated from school as Valedictorian and Highest Honors Student from everyone graduating at ITT Tech that year. He is my world, and I am worried about him. He is under so much stress this week, and I want to take his pain away. His dad went in for surgery on Monday for Colon Cancer. He made it out alive, but his health is still in danger. I am glad that it is mostly over with and Kevin can breathe a little easier on that. We are still having financial troubles. His job, while its high earning to most people, does little more than pay the bills and buy basic groceries here. He was just delivered the blow that they will not hire him on full time at the end of his contract on Monday. They will renew it instead, which makes him feel like he's done something wrong. In fact, he couldn't do anything to prevent it, as most of his team does not understand that he has no extra money to blow on eating out with them every day. We do yard work for his mother to earn extra money every month just to have gas for the car. He is looking for a second job, and I hope he finds one soon. Why aren't I working? Well, work doesn't fit well with the kids and school. Kieran will be at home until August, when he enters Kindergarten. Kindergarten is only half day, so I have to be home for that. Jake gets out of school at 1:45pm and I have to be there to pick him up. Besides, daycare eats my entire paycheck-- been there and done that. I do sell my crochet work, if only people would buy it... Its really nice stuff too. I want to be able to be sucessful enough to buy from the fancier yarn stores, and I like dying my own yarn too, LOL. Hopefully, I will be able to open up my Etsy shop soon and that will boost sales. One can only dream, ne? In any case, things are pretty hard here right now, and I am pulled in a million different directions with school, home, kids, hubby, crochet work and the Foundation. June 07 Wednesday BlehThings are just going. LOL.. All the drama, and I feel for Jessie. Sara is a serious Narcissist, and will never care about anyone but herself. That's all I have to say there. I am adding my items to the Expo listings on the side. If you want them, buy them at my site! I think I am going to take up Yarn dying, totally because Jessie got me into it. Maybe we should make our own brand or something... The supply drive isn't going as well as planned. I think the PTA is setting against us instead of working with us, which sucks, majorly.... I can't wait until the weekend! |
