Hubby is right now in Hawaii, but before you think he is lucky or something you need to know that he is waking up at "work" for 12 hours each day... sometimes more so he isn't enjoying the lovely beaches or anything.MamaMayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646344425686561507noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508072752277675644.post-50948527469964362892008-07-04T07:41:00.000-04:002008-07-04T07:42:34.803-04:00Happy Fourth Everybody!Have a safe and happy 4th of July!MamaMayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646344425686561507noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508072752277675644.post-10549321464633233942008-06-27T09:37:00.002-04:002008-06-27T10:27:57.900-04:00What, it's FRIDAY!?!Tomorrow We will have been in our new apartment for 7 days.

So we have been having fun nights. Since hubby is a doc we are waiting the 2 weeks to see if she gets over it herself. We have also been popping her ears for her (A doctor trick, makes them SCREAM BLOODY MURDER when you do it, but completely drains the ears for 5 or 6 hours... making it so she can sleep).Anyway, IMamaMayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646344425686561507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508072752277675644.post-82526182540903677572008-06-14T18:44:00.002-04:002008-06-14T19:08:56.500-04:00Etsy?I am thinking of just letting my etsy shop die out (meaning I will not be putting the items back up after they expire.)

For those just googling and finding this, that includes, my hubby, me and 2 kids (one is 2 and a half with the other just being born early last May). I will also say that I use cash only to pay for food, this guarantees that I do not go over our budget.., ever. This 200 also covers diapers and personal care items.
