Been Up Since 3 a.m.

Contemplating just getting up for the day since it is almost 5 and starting on the many projects I’ve got to finish today.

Choices, choices.

this is me wishing you
into the worst situations
I’m the kind of kid
that can’t let anything go
but you wouldn’t know a good thing
if it came up and slit your throat

No ma’am, I think it was $230 total? But I bought a car seat, too and that was $80 of it!

Our grandparents (or great-grandparents) — children of the Great Depression — could teach us a thing or two about going green on a budget. Their carbon footprint was uber-small — they used less water, less fuel, created less waste and imported fewer goods than we do. They took these actions out of necessity as opposed to our modern-day desire to help the planet, but the ecological impact is just as powerful.

At Target online! :-) Plus I got free shipping and the gift card is for $50. They got here in just 5 days, too!

Organizing

Gavin and Baby A will be sharing a room because we just signed another lease…I’m a control freak and it is just too good of rent to change anything right now.

Anyone have links to cute ideas for shared spaces?

@raisingfletcher and @double-e-catastrophe

They updated for Android so I can finally respond to posts!

And Sam, I’m sorry :( I wouldn’t have been able to afford it if it wasn’t almost $90 off for both, plus a free giftcard

Car Seats and Double Strollers

Mine should be here sometime today and I am very excited. So excited that I keep checking the UPS website tracking my package.

Also, I can now reply to posts because Tumblr stepped their app game up. Holla!

Also

I’m really considering getting family photos made tomorrow because I want some new pictures to hang up!

Definitely not the best picture, but he’s gonna be huge. I dread summer. (Taken with instagram)

Today

Today is better for us. Today although I’m hurting, I’m not missing home as much. I feel like we are doing so well here that we just need to save as much money as we can and then look into buying a house back home.

But I have dreams of sitting in an actual classroom learning again. I don’t want to be a teacher, but I still have dreams for a degree. Maybe open up a small bakery to host children’s birthday parties or do something crazy. I don’t know yet, but the restaurant industry seems to be calling my name, just in a different way.

Home is where you make it, so I will just have to make the best of where we are now.

One of my all time favorites
