Come see my jewelry! http://www.dazzleme14.etsy.com!

Time to wind down before I attempt to sleep sans the help of my new best friend, Nyquil.  Wish me luck!  My daughter and I were ‘talking’ tonight about her cough medicine and whether or not she needed it to sleep well.  She seemed to think that she did and pitched a huge fit.  I decided that she is still quite congested and gave her some, and she then cried because she wanted more.  She is nutty.  I guess there IS a downfall to good tasting medicine for children.

Today we were let off at 2 with paid admin leave-the one time of year we usually always get it.  It is always an issue that since the Christmas Eve staff gets it, the New Year’s Eve staff should not expect it as well.  I didn’t expect it, but it seems fair to me.  So I left Kooky at T’s and went thrifting.  I am happy to say that I have lost a decent amount of weight and that the clothes have been a bot loose.  Thanks to the long flu for that one.  So I needed to drop down a size in pants.  I found five pairs of pants, a few shirts for cheap, and a summer skirt and a pair of camo high tops for Kooky.  She needed these like a hole in the head.  I was happy that I didn’t get THAT depressed trying on clothes.  I look decent, but still need to tone up and work on that mummy tummy.  I spent $30 of the $50 that I got for Xmas.  It was well spent as I am sick of baggy jeans.  I then picked up the Kooky and held that little baby there and enjoyed it for a moment.  She is so cute and so little.  Kooky hugged me the whole time but didn’t act insanely jealous or anything.

I had received some clothes for Kooky’s birthday that were a tad too small.  So I took them back and got an $18 gift card from Old Navy.  I didn’t buy anything there as I had places I needed to be, but I did come home to shop online.  I spent $10 more than the $18, but I found this for next Christmas.

Cute?  It’ll look great with a dressy sweater of some sort and tights.  I also got her a proper size of gauchos and some black pants for the fall.  I love Old Navy and I regret that I cannot afford that love. 

It might be New Year’s this weekend, but it is nothing to us.  I am usually asleep my midnight.  I am glad that it is a relaxing three day weekend with my family.  I am hoping for a better year than last and a light at the end of our financial tunnel.  If nephew’s inheritance did not get appealed in the courts yet again, I’ll soon have that loan and be able to pay off the CC’s.  I am looking forward to that. 

I think I am going to attempt some Pilates.  See all of ya’s.
