Sweet Easter Thoughts

What can I say? I've got more redneck in me than I like to admit to. But when I saw this, I couldn't help but laugh. Seriously! Who takes these photos? And where is the rest of the rabbit? Happy Easter everyone? I'm getting ready to do some spring decorating, thanks to our new Hobby Lobby that just opened in Boise, and can I just say that I am in love with that store???????

I am having a little better luck with my pregnancy nasties and feeling almost human so I'm taking advantage of it today. Balanced the checkbook. Actually have money since I never leave the couch and go do anything. Funny how that works. But, on the other note, spent a TON over budget on eating out this pay period. I will avoid cooking like the plague, so $50 on pizza over the course of one weekend is a small price to pay.

My scrapbook room is beautiful and I'm moving my paper into my 16 paper slots. I should be back in the groove by the end of the month and working on layouts again. With a new baby coming, my goals are upped to get caught up and ready to go on a new baby scrapbook. My favorite kind.

I broke down and bought some "big mama" clothes yesterday at Fred Meyers. Why Fred Meyers? Because they have CHILD CARE. I have been a total anti-"daycare" freak for two and a half years. Every time we go there, the kids beg to go in and play and every time I say no, and then torture myself by trying to shop with two toddlers. Last month, I finally gave in and let them go. They loved it. I shopped. I didn't get coerced into buying extra things, I didn't swear once, the kids weren't crying. They played happily with toys while I shopped and didn't miss one thing on my list. So now I love Fred Meyers and go there as often as possible just so they can go to "day care". Yesterday I was shopping ON MY OWN, and there was another Mom who was still trying to control life and had THREE little ones with her. Her littlest one started to vomit. Everywhere. Like, bleh....stop....blehhhhhhh...again. I felt so bad for her. I wanted to help. I felt compelled to go over and handle the mess. But, I simply kept walking. Still feeling bad for the gal, but if there's a child care option, and it's secure and clean, take my advice and USE IT.
