I missed this place!

When I actually WANT to blog, of course is right when OD goes down!  There have been weeks, and even MONTHS when I’d have never even noticed a two day down of OD (or was it 3?  It FELT like 3!)  Actually, there’s not that much to say.  I signed up for something called Pay per Play, which I’ll probably put up on here, see if I can make a LITTLE money from it…  I hate to start making my diary into an ad, but I’ll tell you, I need the money, and every little bit helps, and counts.  Although I told my dad to quit sending me money for now, he needs it at least as badly as I do, and I’m looking at the next few months to be okay.  Well, I think anyway.  ACTUALLY, Jerry might just finally have a deal that’s going to go through, it’s looking good.  Though we always say that, he keeps learning new things, and this deal he’s been in complete control of, it’s finally to the banks, etc, etc, and it REALLY looks good.  So we’re crossing our fingers, toes and everything else, hoping.  I’ve no idea what the next few months will bring, but if we have money, I know it’ll all be fine, no matter WHAT happens.  Though we are definitely going to make sure it’s spread out over a few banks, so if any problems arise, then all our eggs are NOT in one basket.  I’ll do some investing as well, even if it’s just in some short term CDs that we can roll over every few months or so.  I’m so sick and tired of living wondering from day to day if we’re going to have our house tomorrow, if we’re going to have money for food, and wondering if I’m going to be able to have the baby in the hospital, or if I’m going to have to figure out how to do it at home, with no help…   I’m tired of worrying. 

I’m working on a layout, "I’m the Baby, Gotta Love Me"  It’s cute, but I’m thinking I should date it, just not sure HOW I should date it.  I just spent probably the better part of an hour on the phone with Linda… the baby should be up, but I can’t hear her from here, so don’t know if she is or not.  I put her down almost 3 hours ago.  I never have enough time in the day!  By the time the kids are in bed, I’m exhausted!  In any case, I find it hard to scrap at night… or anytime really.  But I REALLY want to get Sammi’s book closer to "caught up"  I just need to find a punch I’m using to make the mats… I’m going for an easy, uniform look to that book, and I already kind of "messed it up" by using brads, because I haven’t been able to find that punch.  Maybe it’s an excuse, but I don’t want to do that book unless I can find that punch (or buy another one, which obviously, I am LOATHE to do… like I can really afford to replace things that often anyway!!!) 

Did I mention I put a shaker box up on ebay?  I don’t think I did.  Again, going with the theory that every little bit helps… I’m going to start putting up auctions.  So far, I have NO bids whatsoever.  It’s a Tigger shaker box, very cute.  I have 4 others I need to get rid of as well.  I’d actually like to start getting things cleared out of here and the garage, guess I should see what else I can put up on Ebay.  I hope to de-clutter and maybe make a little money in the process (do you see the recurring theme here?  Making money… )  Man, my brain just hurts…. I feel like I’m trying to think too hard, or too much, or something, lol.  Yea, I should at least try to get some things put up… I’ve been meaning to for ages.  I’ve got Ebay attached to my Paypal account, using my bank account to fund it.  I actually would like more to get rid of some stuff, well, I DO need the money, but I am thinking we might just have enough here pretty soon… though who KNOWS what’s going to happen at the end of the month?  I should really start clearing out stuff now, so I don’t have to MOVE it later.  Now there is a thought :). 

Yea, now there is a thought…reducing the clutter.  I have TONS of Disney stuff that’s probably never going to get used up… I could PIF it on my Disney group, although I haven’t been using my points for much of anything at all.  I need to get my swaps organized first, I think!  I need to see/know what I have first, and that’s not an easy task, by any stretch of the imagination…  I have got to figure out where to begin.
