Cloudy...

                                            

Well...nothing going on here.  It's cloudy outside so I automatically feel lazy...  I did manage to walk on the treadmill with my weights for about 25 minutes today.  But that is about it.  Today is just such a sluggish day for me.  Nothing to do and nothing that I would really want to do.  I feel good...just tired.  I "think" my morning sickness is a thing of the past and my tiredness doesn't come as often.  I have had some pulling down in my stomach...I guess the baby is just making room.  So that is a good thing.  I'm hoping within the next 2 months the baby will start moving around.  The doctor said that by the end of May I should be showing a lot more.  And by the first of July we should know what the baby is going to be.  I'm excited!  I can't wait for it to get here!  Hopefully time will fly by...  Until then...I need to clean up my house.  I used to clean it twice a week and now...I'm doing good if I clean it once a week.  I have washed clothes...speaking of which my dryer just went off...so I guess I am off to fold clothes and clean my house!  Woohoo!  Well, I guess that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!!!

Thunderstorms???

Well, today so far has been a great day.  I got to sleep in until about 10:15am and then I had some breakfast and got to watch my favorite morning show, "Starting Over".  I just love the drama on there.  It's so funny.  But it really is a good show.  Well, after the show I decided I would tan.  Kent was sweet enough to straighten up the house for me.  Which I very much appreciate.  I tanned for about an hour and 15 minutes and then the clouds started moving in.  We are supposed to have some thunderstorms sometime...but really sure when...tonight, tomorrow, Saturday....who really knows.  I do like a good thunderstorm though.  Nothing serious but just a simple thunderstorm.  Being in the south that is just something you live with.  But so far this year it has been pretty calm.  Well, enough with the thunderstorm talk.  Tonight is FRIENDS.  I believe it's the next to last show.  How sad...  I really do like that show and I wish they could stay on for another year or so.  But oh well...  There will be others show I guess.  Well, that is really all I have to say.  I'm fixing to go eat lunch and watch a Baby Story on TLC.  Yall be good and I'll talk with yall later!

My doctor update

  Well, I met my new OB today.  And all I have to say is that I LOVE HIM!  He was so funny and he just helped me relax.  We he first walked into the room and asked "how are you 3 doing."  I thought it was nice that he included the baby.  He was a doctor that you immediately feel comfortable with.  Anyway, he got the doppler thing to hear the heartbeat and said "let's see if we can hear that little critter."  Since my uterus is tilted backwards its kind of hard to find the heartbeat right now, but Dr. Hudson said he likes a challenge.  And after about 10 minutes of trying (which I thought was nice cause most doctors would have given up) he finally found it.  It was real faint because of my unterus being in the way but he said it was definately there.  He did change my due date to Nov. 22.  I told him that my first due date was Nov. 4 and then it was changed to Nov. 17...and we joked about how it could be Christmas before the baby actually comes...lol.  But anyway it was a great visit and I really like him!  I have another appt. May 11th.  I also got some blood taken...like 4 tubes of it.  I felt a bit izzy afterwards but it was OK and all worth it.  So that is my update!

Dreams

                                                       

OK...for about the past week I have has some CRAZY dreams!  And when I say crazy I do mean crazy!  I'll be dreaming of one thing and then it just switches to something TOTALLY different.  And everything I dream is something I experienced during that day but only with a twist.  Like, I saw Kent's moma during that day...but that night I dream she attacked me.  Just messed up stuff like that.  It can get crazy.

Today is going to be one of those days that I probably don't do a thing.  Although I would't mind getting on the treadmill for about 30 minutes or so today.  I'm going to start trying to work out again.  Walking and swimming and hopefully some light weight training.  Just to keep my body in shape so when I go into labor I can "handle it as far as physically"(yes, I know labor is hard thus the reason I want to be in some sort of shape for it).  I plan on cleaning a little...nothing big just sweeping and straightening up the place a bit.  And then its the couch for me.  I have two shows that I watch on Monday nights and I don't plan on missing them.  Well, now that Kent is finished working his abs, I guess I will get off and go see if I can get him to walk over to his Granny's with me to use her treadmill.  Well, that is all for now...I'll talk with yall later!  BYE!

 

PS: Tomorrow I go and meet with my new OB doctor.  My usual doctor doesn't deliever so I am switching over to this new doctor.  I hope I like him and that he can have a good relationship like I had with my previous doctor!

And the race is OVER!

YAY!  The race is over!  But they all seem to be using my street to leave.  The road infront of my house is SO busy!  I swear for the past 3 hours or so it has been constant traffic!  I'm glad for now that I don't have small children to look after.  But they will all be gone soon...so that is something to look forward to.

Today was a good day.  Kent and I went over to Granny's to eat and then we sat around and talked for a bit.  Kent came home and got ready for work and I got in the bed and took a nap.  I was just sooo tired.  I have no idea why though.  I mean I haven't done much and lately I haven't been getting tired.  Oh well.  It was nice though to take a nap.  Now, I am fixing to go find something to eat.  And then the rest of the night it watching TV and waiting on Kent to get home.  So, I guess I'll talk with yall later!

 

 

 

Spring, Spring, Spring

                                         

Well, Spring is really here.  But it has been hotter than usual.  Today its in the mid to upper 80s!  It was great for tanning though.  Which I did.  Hopefully, I will be able to keep some what of a tan.  I don't want to be white all summer long just because I am pregnant!  I'm careful though...I only stay out for about 40 minutes or so and then I come in and drink some water and rest and then go back out.  It can be really relaxing.  But with all the traffic that is on my road due to the race, it was a little noisey today.  Oh well, I got over it. 

I also washed clothes today...fun, fun.  But it was only 3 loads so it didn't take up a lot of my time.  But I do need to be folding them right now instead of playing on the computer.  

My flowers are somewhat doing well.  There is this one type of flower that doesn't seem to be doing so well.  I might have to pull it up and just start over with a new one.  I'll give it a couple more weeks and we'll see how its doing then.

Well, that is my update for today.  I need to go fold clothes and hop in the shower.  Kent and I are going over to my parent's tonight and eat with them.  Hamburgers...yummy.  I don't know why but I really do want some hamburgers right now!  Anywho, I'll talk with yall later!

Cotton Candy

So, I must be honest and say that cotton candy is my weakness right now.  I try to only eat so much of it.  Cause I know that my baby is probably bouncing off my uterus right now.  But I shared it with my cat Sammie.  For whatever reason she loves cotton candy.  Go figure...she's a fat cat.  Anyway, hopefully I can control my cravings for cotton candy long enough to get through this pregnancy.  Because if it were up to me...I would have it everyday, all day.

So, I cleaned my house today!  YAY for me!  It's the first time in forever (or so it seems) that I have had the chance or actually felt like cleaning it!  I vacuumed, swept, dusted, wiped counters off, and cleaned the bathroom.  I am just too proud!  Hopefully, it can stay clean for awhile!  I also tanned today.  Outside tanning of course.  I stayed out there for about an hour.  I plan to go back out in a few minutes.  I had to come inside to watch my show and to get some water.  So, that has basically been my day!  Tonight, I hope Kent and I can go out.  I have a craving for spaghetti.  Anyway, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!!!!

So...I only turn 21 once...

                                             

It's an on going joke between Kent and me that I only turn 21 once and he should really go ALL OUT for my birthday (May 13).  Yes, I know that you only turn any age once but still...this will be the last birthday for me before the baby comes so I want it to be special!  So, Kent is going to Circuit City to look at digital video cameras.  I am sooo excited.  This camera also takes pictures.  Which will let me start doing belly pics of my belly as the pregnancy continues.  I am so excited.  For Kent's 23rd birthday I am taking him to Florida and paying for it all.  I may get him a little something else, but for the most part it will be the Florida trip.  Anyway, I can't wait!!!  We are going in July so I need to start getting a tan.  I plan on getting out in the sun today...if I can just actually get up and do it.  Hopefully, once I am done writing this I can get up and do something.  Tomorrow I plan (plan being the keyword) to clean my house...i.e vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, straightening, etc. etc.  We'll see how that goes.  So far today I have felt pretty good.  Maybe I am starting to get out of this funk that I have been in.  Only 2 weeks and 6 days until I enter my 2nd trimester.  It will be the longest that I have ever been pregnant...well actually 13 weeks and 1 day.  So I can't wait!  Well, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later.  By the way, FRIENDS comes on tonight!  Final 3 shows....sniff, sniff!  Well, later gator!!!

So far so good

Well, today has been good.  I've had more energy today than usual.  But I still had to take a nap.  Today I have straightened up my house and did some cleaning, I washed clothes (3 loads yesterday and 3 loads today), I did some gardening, and I walked around the yard for a few minutes.  Not too bad.  Later tonight, Kent and I are going out to the mall and grab something to eat.  Hopefully, we won't run into too many race fans.  The race is here this week.  Which is always so lovely...can you sense the sarcasm?  Hopefully, it won't rain this weekend and they can get the race over with.  It's not so much the race that I care about, because I have helped with it and all, its just it gets sooo crowd and the road I live on is a road that ALOT of people take to get to the track.  So my yard ends up loading trashy cause people throw out their beer cans and bottles and all their unwanted trash.  ANYWAY, enough with that vent.  Yesterday my doctor's office called to tell me my progesterone was a 45.4. Which is great!  So, I have two more weeks of 2 pills a day and then I go to one pill a day for 2 more weeks.  And then I am done with the progesterone.  Hopefully, my body will take over after that.  Well, that is all for now.  I'll talk with yall later!

I'm sooo not the energizer bunny

WOW!  Can we say tired?  And I haven't even done anything...lol.  I knew pregnancy would make you tired, but I had no idea!  I have been wanting to clean my house all day...and yet nothing has been done.  I have 3 clothes baskets of clothes to be washed...they are still sitting in my living room.  How sad is that?  I just need to pick my butt up and do it.  The end.  Umm maybe later....

Doing a happy dance!!!

::::::::::::Doing a Happy Dance::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Well, we went in for another ultrasound and there as strong as it could be was a baby with a heartbeat.  And this time the baby had grown sooo much.  It was moving around and the baby even seemed to be waving at us at one point...it was just tooooooo precious.  Only thing that was off was it is a week behind in its growth.  But my doctor said that it's nothing to worry about because that happens from time to time.  But my doctor couldn't have been happier.  He even said that he was sad to see me go.  And that if I ever get a chance to drop back by his office and give him updates.  He was very excited for us.  He said that my chances of miscarrying now are only 5% which my chances were 20-30% earlier.  I have to stay on progesterone a few weeks longer than we first thought but that is fine with me as long as this baby stays healthy.  So praise God for answered prayers and as always they are appreciated.

So tomorrow is the day...

Well, tomorrow is my ultrasound.  We will know it all tomorrow.  Either I am coming home with pictures of a healthy baby or I am coming home with a 3rd D&C on my record.  I'm PRAYING hard for the pictures.  I ask everyone to pray for us.  We have an appointment at 7:30am...bright and early.  So we should know it all by 7:45 or so.  Just remember us tomorrow!  And I will update yall as soon as I know something!

Umm feeling some what better...

Well, I am feeling some what better.  I mean I am still worried to death that we will get there Monday and there will be no heartbeat.  BUT at the same time I look down at my stomach and it has seemed to get bigger.  Maybe it's just because I am getting fatter in general but I am trying to stay positive and say that it is the baby just growing.  I hope so!  I just can't wait until Monday...it seems like an eternity away.  But it will be here soon enough.  Let's all pray that there is a little baby in there and that it's heartbeat is beating away and that it has grown since the last ultrasound.  Plus, by now it should start looking "more human like" so that will be really neat to see.  Well, sorry this is so short but not much to talk about.  All I have been doing is resting and watching TV.  I went over to my parent's house last night and ate out with them and watch movies.  Besides that I haven't done much else.  Well, until later...keep me in your prayers and I'll talk to yall later!

14

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So, like RIGHT AFTER I got off the internet and as soon as I signed off the phone rings.  It was my doctor.  Now, he never calls unless its bad or really good news.  So, he was like I got the results from your lab work and your progesterone was a 14.  14???  Now, I figured it would be a little low cause like 15-30 mins after I took it I threw up...so maybe that could be a factor.  So, he said that he wants me to go back to two pills a day and to come in Monday morning at 7:30 and get another u/s done.  He said that at this stage in pregnancy that it shouldn't matter too much that my progesterone dropped like that BUT (I hate those buts) he wants to make sure. I am scared!!!  I told Kent that if we lose this one...I am DONE atleast for a few months...maybe after summer or whatever.  I'll probably go back on the pill for like 3 months or so.  But at the same time I am trying (and that is the keyword) to stay positive.  I just don't want to lose this baby.  I have seen it's little heartbeat and I already have fallen so in love with this baby.  I just don't know what to do.  I had to call Kent at work and barely could talk cause I was crying so hard.  He came home thankfully and took care of me.  Anyway, I guess Monday we will find out something.  PLEASE BABY!!!!  BE THERE WITH THE STRONGEST HEARTBEAT EVER!!!!!!!!

My doctor update

Well, what a day!  I think I finally fell asleep at around 2am this morning.  After being sick (I guess I spoke too soon with the whole my morning sickness is gone) and shaking from scaring myself cause I couldn't breathe I finally gave up and fell asleep.  After only 4 hours and 45 minutes of sleep I got up and got ready to go to the doctor.  Thankfully, Kent was able to go with me.  I always feel so much better when he is there with me.  Well, we go in and the doctor says that everything is looking great.  I talked with him about my concern with my progesterone and he said that 27.4 is a good number for the phase of pregnancy that I am in.  He said that he was running my progesterone a little high to make sure we covered all our bases.  He said though that if it goes below 22 to just start taking two pills a day again.  I hope it doesn't go below 22.  PLEASE BE A GOOD NUMBER TOMORROW!  Well, then he said that once I get to 12 weeks that I will be for the most part out of the woods!  After this next visit on April the 21st, I will no longer be seeing him = (   So, he told me that after the baby is born and I come back for my 6 weeks check up to bring a picture of the baby.  So, that made me feel good that he had enough confidence to say something like that.  Hopefully, I'll be able to show him and the rest of the world a picture of this little belly bean when it is born.  After the appointment, I had some lab done and I will get the results from that tomorrow.  So until then let's just all pray that everything is good.  There is a reason for this little miracle inside me and I'm just praying that I get to see it!  Bye yall!!!

LOL..the joys of living SO close to family

:::WARNING...THIS IS EMBARRASSING BUT IS MY JOURNAL...SO I MUST WRITE ABOUT THINGS ON MY MIND:::::

                                        

So today was a good day.  Kent and I woke up at 11am which was nice and we ate breakfast and watched TV.  Then later we did that thing that married folks do and all of a sudden we hear the front door open and someone saying "Paper".  I was like OH MY GOODNESS so Kent quickly finds his clothing and runs to see what is happening but before he could his Granny was already walking away.  We don't know if she knew or not or what but hopefully not.  Needless to say we will be more careful next time...LOL.  Anyway, after that, I cooked lunch and we just watched TV.  I also washed dishes and straightened the kitchen up a little bit.  Now, Kent is at work and I am left here to find something to take up my time.  I guess its a night of watching TV again and then off to bed.  I have a doctor's appointment at 9:15am tomorrow and we will have to leave a bit early to get there with all the morning traffic.  Hopefully, everything will check out OK.  I'm still nervous though cause I just don't know what to expect!  Lately I have felt pretty good which kind of scares me a bit.  My boobs (I know too much info) have been hurting a good deal but besides that I am good to go.  I haven't had morning sickness in about 4 or 5 days so maybe I am just out of thatphase.  Anyway, just please continue to pray for us and our little baby.  Well, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!

My progesterone trip....

                                       

Well, today was a fairly good day!  It was rainy most of the day and COLD.  It only got to like 38 degrees outside!  I was like who turned on the AC???  But it's supposed to warm up starting tomorrow. 

Well, when the mail came today it didn't have my progesterone pills in it...grrr  So, a trip to B'ham was in order.  When I got there the lady was like "We mailed you your medicine".  I told her that I knew that and that the lady I talked with yesterday said they should be in the mail today and they weren't so I need to have some today cause I am out.  Thankfully, she was understanding and refilled me another bottle.  So tomorrow after the mail comes I will have progesterone pills for quite some time!  It's ok!

Well, tonight is going to be a relaxing night.  Watch a little TV and just do nothing!  I ordered some pizza earlier and have already filled myself with that.  So now all I have to do is wait for Kent to get home!  By the way, I weighed myself today and I have lost a pound and a half.  I'm thinking that I have mainly just lost muscle cause I haven't been able to work out but my tummy is growing so....  Just keep praying for us and this little belly bean!!!!  Well, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!!!  BYE!

Oldself...is that you???

                                               

I'm starting to feel like myself again.  Or atleast for now I am.  I'm still tired, but that I can deal with.  Today, I got up at 8am so that I could call the pharmacy and get my RX refilled.  I'm hoping that it gets to me tomorrow, because I am down to ONE pill.  The lady told me that they would mail it today and that it SHOULD be here tomorrow.  Let's hope so.  Cause if not, I will be making a trip to B'ham to pick it up.  Let's just pray it gets here tomorrow with the mail!!!!  Well, after I called them I went back to bed but never really went to sleep.  I dosed off and on until about 10:15am.  Then Kent and I got up and I watched "Starting Over" on NBC.  I have fallen in love with that show for whatever reason.  After the show went off I went and had my quiet time while Kent weedeated (if that is even a word) around the house.  Then I went and started washing clothes (last load is in the dryer..yay!) and cleaning my house.  Iwashed dishes (well, Kent did most of them), then I vacuumed and swept the floors, and wiped all the counter tops off and the kitchen table and then cleaned up the bathroom.  This is the most I have done in WEEKS!!!!  I am just too happy for words.  Hopefully, after my doctor's appointment Thursday I can start being cleared as healthy!!!!  I'm known right now as a high risk pregnancy!  But, hopefully soon that will all change!  And after I talk to my doctor a little bit, I think I will feel a lot better about the whole progesterone thing.  Well, that is all that I have done today!  Tonight I plan on watching the Miss USA contest and then just relax with the hubby!  Well, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!!!  BYE!!!!!!!!

No Subject really....

Well, Happy Easter all!!!!  Today was a busy day for me.  We went to church with Kent's family this morning.  I have to be honest and say that I am so used to the church that I have been going to for months now that the church we went to today felt odd to me.  Anyway, after church we had Easter lunch with Kent's extended family.  We stayed there until about 3pm or so.  Then we came home and watch a little TV and ate some food from Burger King.  Then we went and saw "The Passion of the Christ".  All I can say is wow!  It was really a great movie.  I HAD to go to the bathroom but I knew if I got up that I would miss something so I just sat there and talked myself out of it...lol.  And it was hard to do seeing how my bladder is slowly being crowded out by the baby!!  But I managed!  After the movie Kent and I went to Wally World and walked around for a little while.  We looked at plants and things like that.  Now, we are just sitting around.  Kent doesn't have to work tomorrow...YAY....so we will probably stay up a little later and just enjoy each other while we can.  Well, that is all for now.  By the way, please keep us in your prayers.  Everything seems to be going fine, but prayers are always needed!  And appreciated!!!!  Later gator!

A bit better

                           

I'm feeling better today about my progesterone.  I am still showing signs of pregnancy, i.e sore boobs, morning sickness, tired, and headaches.  So, I am just going to trust what my nurse and doctor think and just leave it in God's hands.  I've had many people tell me that anything above 20 is good.  So, I am just going to have to believe it and move on.  I'll see the doctor on April 15th and we'll talk more then.

Today, Kent and I planted my flowers in the flower bed.  I can't wait until they grow in and start blooming out.  They will be so pretty.  I just hope I have enough energy to weed them and water them and just take care of them.  Hopefully, I will and it will be a pretty garden this year!  I am still going to get some more flowers and put them in two big pots and sit them on either side of a bench that I have on the front porch.  I'll get to that some time next week I guess!

Kent is off for Easter.  We didn't know if he would be or not.  But he has Sunday and Monday off!  YAY!  I am so glad.  He hasn't had a Sunday off in sooo long!  Plus, we have a family lunch to go to and with it being his family, I didn't want to go to it by myself.  So now thankfully I won't have to!  YAY again!  Well, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!  Bye!

Should I be worried?

OK...so obviously I am worried.  I got my lab results from my lab Tuesday when I got to see the heartbeat.  They only did a progesterone test.  Well, the last time I took the test it was 110.  And this time it was 27.4.  Which, I immediately freaked out!  And the nurse assured me it was fine and said the doctor was fine with the results.  So, here is some reason why it could be low.  The day I went to get lab done I had only taken one pill which was from the night before.  I hadn't taken one that morning, because I knew the doctor was going to reduce my dosage that day if everything was OK.  So, should I be worried??  According to the nurse she said that 110 can be a little high and that progesterone does vary during pregnancy.  She said the doctor was pleased with the results and that I should continue with one pill a day.  The doctor told me anything above 20 was good.  But I am so used to having high numbers with this pregnancy.  So, here is what I have thought to keep me sane...my progesterone was 27.4 that morning even when they were showing me the heartbeat.  And the heartbeat was good!  So, that must mean (in my mind) that the progesterone that I have is good.  I don't know though.  It is definately something I will have to talk more about with my doctor.  I'm just praying that everything fine and I am just worrying too much.  But yall please just say an extra prayer for me and this little belly bean.  They are greatly appreciated!!!!

Food...such an ugly word

Well, let's just say...food hasn't been the greatest thing to me.  Last night, I couldn't eat enough.  This morning...I wished I had't ate so much the night before.  And now I can't seem to want to eat anything.  I have to make myself eat and when I eat I don't seem satisfied.  I haven't had any cravings so I just try to eat what I want and what is healthy.  It's OK though...it's all worth it!!!

Well, today I have pretty much done nothing.  I cleaned up a little..i.e made up the bed, picked up shoes and put them in their place....  I then took a shower and headed up to the hill to see Kent's Granny.  She called and wanted to see the picture of the baby.  So, I went up there for a bit and then came home.  Tonight, Kent and I are going to Lowes to pick up some plants.  Hopefully, they will get planted soon!  Well, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!

Introducing....

Zoey Taylor OR Jonathan Kent Jr.  WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!  We have known for about a month now.  But we were waiting until we saw the heartbeat to start telling everyone!  And today...WE SAW IT!!!!  This baby is truly a miracle.  After two miscarriages and the doctor telling me I didn't even ovulate in Feb. we didn't think we could be pregnant now.  But I took a test in early March and sure enough I was!  So, I started taking my progesterone and my numbers just went up, up, up!  So, I am too excited and happy for words.  But we finally have a baby with a heartbeat!  The baby is measuring 7 weeks and 6 days.  My due date is set for November 17!!  We didn't hear the heartbeat but the doctor said it will be another month before we can.  But we did SEE it and that is all I care about now!  So, enjoy the picture and view it larger to see it clearer!!!!  OH, please keep us in your prayers.  We still aren't out of the woods yet so keep praying for us!!!!

Once the room stops spinning...

Well, this sickness stuff has just about gotten on my last nerve.  Now, I have a headache and am dizzy for most of the day.  Everytime I get up off the couch the room just kinda spins.  I'm hoping this will end soon.  Plus, I am tired.  I took about a 45 minute nap today and woke up feeling worse...will the madness ever end?????

Well, today I have done nothing...  But I am in the current process...slow process...of cleaning my house up a bit.  I vacuumed the floors and I am currently washing clothes.  I washed dishes (boy was my sink full).  And I am going to sweep and straightened up the rest of the house...as soon as I feel like it.  Then I am going to sit down eat my SUBWAY and watched TV.  Hopefully, the night will fly by and I will get a good nights sleep tonight.  Tomorrow will be a busy day...but I will have to update yall on that later!  Until then...yall be good and I'll talk with yall later!

Sick...ick

UGH...I think I am sick.  No fun at all.  I have NO energy, I have a headache, my body is just TIRED and I just flat out don't feel good.  I was SO looking forward to Kent getting off of work tonight and taking care of me...BUT he got ORDERED to do overtime.  So, I want see him until sometime tomorrow morning.  UGH...I just want to roll up into a ball and cry.  Kent got to come home for like 30 minutes to get some food and his shots.  But then he had to go straight back to work.  UGH!!!!!!  The one night I feel like crap and just can't seem to get off the couch for more than 15 minutes, he has to work overtime....  I guess that is just life.  Well, I'm off to resume my position on the couch and hopefully start feeling better soon...

Yard Sale Success!

Well, it looks as though the yard sale was a success.  I met my goal of atleast $100 and surpassed it.  It was a long morning though.  But I've got cash in my pocket, a tan on my face, and stories to tell for weeks so it's "all good".  We sold a lot of our stuff...and yet we still had a lot to load up afterwards.  We were going to have a second yard sale sometime in the late Spring or early Summer, but we didn't feel like going through all the trouble again so we just loaded up the rest of the stuff to give it to the Salvation Army.  I woke up at a VERY early 4am and the started setting stuff up at around 5:15am.  Who knew there was a 4am or a 5:15am on my watch....??  Anyway, some people came a little earlier than thought but it was OK, we had set most of our stuff out.  It amazing how people get up on Saturday morning for these things...  There were two people there at 5:00am circling just waiting for us to start setting up, but they finally gave up and came back later I believe.  Anyway, like I said I have stories to tell.  But that will just have to wait until later...because this "little" girl is tired and is fixing to go take another nap.  Yall be good.  BYE!

Yard Sale first and last...

                                   

Well, I say this is my first and last yard sale...but that is just how I feel now.  Probably someday down the road I will probably have another one, but as for now I am done with yard sales after tomorrow.  This has been quite a job to take on and it's not even done yet!  I'm still hoping for a good turn out.  It's supposed to be pretty tomorrow and the tempature is supposed to be comfortable.  So, I am hoping people will come out and spend, spend, spend!  I still have some more pricing to do and then I have to get organized with all the stuff I need to take tomorrow.  I hope I don't forget anything.  Maybe I should make a list of all the stuff I need to bring.  Kent is going to help set up.  And then he is coming back home to go to bed.  But I am glad that he is atleast going to help load everything.  He is such a sweetie!!  Well, for now that is all.  I guess I'll talk with yall later!!!

Happy April Fool's Day!!!

Well, happy April everyone!!!!!  I can't believe it's already here!  Only one month and 12 days until my birthday....woohoo!!!!  I can't wait!!!

Well, today was a busy day.  Kent and I almost finished all the Spring Cleaning.  We only have like 3 or 4 more things to do and then we will be done.  But for the most part all the "cleaning" is done.  We just have to go through all our junk and get rid of some stuff.  And after that we will be DONE!  YAY!  I'm so thankful that my husband wanted to help.  He is too sweet sometimes.  Anyway, today I also when for a hair cut.  It was only a trim...I am letting my hair grow out for the summer.  We'll see if I can stand it until then.  I am always saying that I am going to let my hair grow out and then end up getting it cut again.  But I really am going to try to let it grow...

Next week (fingers crossed) I hope to do my planting.  I still need to go look at flowers and see which ones I like and which one I want to plant.  I think flowers make the front of my house look so pretty!  It dresses it up a bit.  Anyway, that is all for now.  I will try and update yall more often...it's just been BUSY around here lately.  Yall be good and I'll talk with yall later!
