Long week

Whew, what a week! I decided last Wednesday to get a dress or skirt for Easter. It's been about 2 years since wearing either so that's kind of a big deal for me. Off to the store we went but to no avail, Wal Mart had nothing. I didn't think they would honestly. The next night I took Jaylin and Jodie with me to shop some more. I went to Ross and they had nothing. I went to Old Navy and they had nothing. Then I went to Belk. This really nice sales associate helped me pick out an outfit and I thought it looked ok. She said it was really flattering. When I checked out the total for one skirt and one shirt was 48 dollars! Well, I don't usually buy clothes so I decided I would just get it.

On my way home I began to feel a bit of buyers remorse. When I got home I went up and tried the outfit on again and totally changed my mind. That shirt did NOT flatter me, it made me look downright chunky! I just had my fourth kid, there's not much that really is going to flatter me to be honest...I decide to return the outfit. I haven't yet but I will this week.

Saturday after an easter egg hunt at our church I took the kids with me to Goodys. I tried on a couple things but didn't really like any of them. All these dresses and skirts look so cute on other people but not really on me. Instead I buy a brand new pair of shoes and earrings and a necklace. I got a shirt from WalMart and wore it on Sunday with jeans, and the high heels and earrings. Not the necklace because it didn't look good with the whole thing. I am not much of an accessory person, I wish I was....Maybe someday I'll put together a really cute outfit on my own. Until then I rely on my friends, acquantiances and yes- the random person shopping within 2 feet of me. If I had a quarter for each time I stop someone to ask if this and that matches I would be able to afford that outfit from Belk!

Wow, that was easy

So, I just got off the phone with Fisher Price and they are sending me a replacement, it's that easy. For some reason I thought it would be harder! Yeah!!

Oh, and I went downstairs to feed Jaylin this morning and found my rocker/glider chair is broken. Well, I got good use out of it. It was from Wal-Mart so I think it did great lasting as long as it did. I got it when Jodie was born. I guess this is my sign that I was right to think about getting Jason a new "daddy's chair" for our 7 year anniversary. Maybe I'll get 2!! This time I'm going to get a nice rocker recliner chair. Lazyboy maybe? I'm not sure what kind to get- I guess I'll just have to go shopping! Oh dear ;)

OH GREAT!

Crap, crap, crap!! The swing broke around 1:00 last night. The mobile will work and so will the music, but it just won't swing. I'll be calling Fisher Price today and see about a replacement. The thing isn't even 4 months old for crying out loud! Well, maybe Jaylin will learn to sleep in the pack n play now....

My journal had been about my journey with the Flylady and I'm still doing that, just not going so much into detail. I feel like I've gotten a little behind but I'll get caught up soon- I just have so much do do right now it seems. I would love to finish getting the bathroom all organized, along with both living rooms and my bedroom. I SO want all this paneling gone from my house. I want drywall that's painted. It would be a whole new house. I think if it was just me I would have had it done already. Not to make him sound bad or anything, but Jason just doesn't get in a hurry about things like that. He started a project before Christmas of '05 and I was a little worried that it would just sit there. Now, Spring of '07,......it's just sitting there. It can make a woman go mad!! Good thing he's so handsome! :)

Work is going pretty good, I'm actually running late this morning thanks to the whole swing ordeal. That baby takes her naps and everything in that thing- I'll update once I talk to Fisher Price, hopefully they will help me out as Jaylin practically lives in that thing!!!

OK- Gotta start work. I did a whole budget where I have to bring home a certain amount of $$$ and anything over that goes into my spending budget. Since I'm paid on production, if I produce a lot more then I get more money and therefore I get curtains!!!! (and an IPOD), (and new pots and pans), (and drywall???)..we'll see.
