I am starting to hate grocery shopping. I mean Caleb is always so good, but it’s the people that bother me. I can’t get through one aisle without being harassed about how cute and good Caleb is, as if these are things I dont already know, let alone that I dont care for strangers eyeing up my kid. This morning was pretty nice but it was also before 8 a.m. so I had the store mostly to myself, and when I left I couldnt believe how quickly I had gotten done. I bought some slim fast powder to motivate myself to eat better. I used to drink it, a few years ago. If I could only get motivated, well if I could find time really, to do my work out tapes I’d be fine. but Caleb wont nap much anymore and if he does its only power naps so I barely get anything done. Plus by the time he does nap I am ready to nap myself. I was doing very good weight-wise after having Caleb, I was actually weighing less than before I was pregnant but since I became a stay at home mom I am eating all day, mostly munching since I dont have time to sit and eat even a sandwich or a meal. So I dont eat wisely I guess.
What a morning! Okay this is the scoop, the tags on my car expired in March, on Dean’s birthday to be exact. We had to get them changed from Ohio to MD plates, so we went to get the car inspected and it is going to cost over $1000 just for the car to pass inspection! We owe about $2300 on it still and last time we went to trade it in it was only going to be worth about $500! I keep saying we need a new car, and now it’s definitely clear. The appraiser is coming in a little bit to look over the house, we should close on it before the 15th of this month. Leaving us with no mortgage/rent pymt due this month so that will help, but we really cant worry about a new car til after the house closes and even then we’re not sure we can afford it. But our mortgage pymt should be less than we are paying now, so we should be doing well, it’s just a huge headache. In the meantime, my aunt calls to offer us her old dishes, they are really nice. Worth a good bit of money. So amidst all this money problems we get a blessing. I am not sure if it’s just a reminder that God will provide or just sick irony. I’d like to think the first but right now I am trying very hard to be optimistic but my true pessimistic nature makes that hard. I am holding firm that the very fact the appraisal will be done today when we thought it wouldnt til next week some time is a good sign so I am trying to have faith…..meanwhile Caleb makes a huge mess and cries when I move him to clean up. ARGH! Fridays are supposed to be fun, today feels like a Monday!
