TGIF - Rants and Raves

Thank God today is Friday. This week has dragged. But today seems to be going GREAT.

It started out rough as I was late coming into work. While on my way, a few blocks from work, I see this yard sale being set up. And of coarse since becoming pregnant - I can pick out a baby sale from miles away. I look down at my clock and realize I only have 3 minutes to get to work - bummer. So I get to work and realize that the two carseats that I saw are going to be gone by the time I am able to get there (my lunch period.) So I ask my boss if I can step out for 15-20 minutes - he says go ahead. So I go to the garage sale and boy oh boy am I glad I did. I ended up getting TWO carseats (one for Andy's car and one for my mom's) for $25 a piece. They are both in amazing condition, both Graco's, and both come with bases and have never been in an accident. SCORE. Then I'm looking and they have a brand new (still sealed) breast pump for $10 - DOUBLE SCORE. I never hit bargains so I was super excited to be able to get this one!!

Also - we went to see baby Aleia last night - here are some pictures (don't mind me, I just woke up from a nap and look mighty rough!)

Hope everyone has a great Friday and a great weekend!!

Happy Friday to you too!! Great job on the special deals! I got a carseat and base (looked brand new for $7 bucks at a yard sale lol I guess that shows the price difference in NY and Alabama lol)

So I am feeling fan-freaking-tastic today!!! I have been sick most of the week with a terrible pain in my head (from throwing up violently on Wed) so yesterday I went ahead and saw my OB and she gave me some miracle pills for my head. Said that I had a tension induced migraine (never really had one before so that is why it was giving me so many problems) and after a fabulous sleep last night (didn't even wake up to pee!!) I am feeling great!

Am trying my best to stay positive and think the best...like "i will not be sick, i will not be sick" hopefully this will help!!

Have a great day and weekend!!

Yeah New York is a little bit more expensive than most places - but still $50 you can't beat it. Although I won't lie - I would've MUCH rather paid $14 for both. Lucky you on your sale!!

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Migranes can be such a hassle!

It's not that bad surely hunny lol (said in a very paula deen-esque accent) not everyone talks like that though...but I lived in Indiana for a while when I was younger and the kids there picked on me so bad about my accent and I know people with much worse accents than me lol I love listening to other people (with different accents) talk...It is interesting to me (just don't ask me to impersonate them lol)

Great bargains!!! I know there are a lot going on in my neighborhood this weekend I'll be checking out!

Aleia is just beautiful! I can't imagine being a mom at Hayli's age (she looks so young, I think you said she's 16) I wish her all the best!!!

Congrats again Aunt Shauna!

Yeah this weekend is supposed to be gorgeous (thank God since it's been raining for the past 3 months) so I'm sure there will be TONS of sales goin on. I wish I didn't have to do my rugs - otherwise I would probably be out looking all weekend.

Aleia is beautiful and so calm. I fell in love with her. I can't imagine being a mom at 16 either but after seeing Hayli with her yesterday - I'm pretty sure she will be ok - I was kind of nervous but you can see her bonding already. She does look young - most people think she's 13 or 14 because she's only like 4'10" and barely 100lbs. But she was a trooper!

No complaints........I am grinning from ear to ear today.  I got some good/reassuring news the other day and am still on a high about it.

Also, I have a prospect for a new job. I love my current job but this one literally pays twice as much and has GREAT benefits.  So I am just waiting to hear something for sure. (keeping my fingers crossed!)

Also, am picking my 9 and 11 year old up after work. They were at thier dad's all week and I miss them. So am happy to be spending the evening with all 4 kiddos!

Hopefully no patients or annoying co-workers ruin my mood!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
