100th Post!!

YAY!! I made it.
I've never been a journal girl. Most of the time, I forget what happened in a day before its time to write it down at night. I'm just not good at that type of thing. But, with this blog, it has actually become something I look forward to every day. I never feel pressured, never feel as though I HAVE to keep it up, just something I really enjoy doing.
Thank you to my friend over at HalfBaked for introducing me to the world of Blogging.
It's been great therapy!!

Tomorrow I'll do something fun in honor of my 100th post. Not sure what i'll do, but it will be something.

A few highlights from the week..

*Went through MORE stuff in our home to get rid of. I'm really on this simplify kick right now. I am cleaning things out, getting rid of them and not even looking back. I've cleaned out closets, basements and boxes until i'm afraid my husbands just about ready to divorce me! My Mother had her annual rummage sale yesterday, today and tomorrow and I took the opportunity to clean out more. My poor husband hates garage sales. He is a keeper. A BIG keeper and i'm not. I've learned to be gentle about this instead of just throwing things out and asking for forgiveness later. I'm trying. And he does love me for trying!

*Cleaned up items recovered from the fire(FINALLY) feels so good to have that project out of the way. Feels good to finally move on with life.

*Applied for a job! I stumbled upon it in the paper and decided it may be time to get back to work. I'm still not sure if i'm ready to put Daniel in daycare full time, but with pre-school 2 days a week, it shouldn't be that bad. I'm a little hesitant because I haven't really worked(except for owning my business)since I became pregnant with Daniel. I'm leaving it in God's hands. He will guide me to what i'm supposed to do. Not sure if this is the right time for me to go back to work. I almost didn't apply thinking I should stay at home with Daniel for just another year. However, it could be a great opportunity. I guess next week will tell if I get it or not. Again, I have faith that God will lead me down the right path...

*Sold a TON of items in my Moms garage sale. When the shop burned down, I lost ALL of my scrapbooking items. EVERYTHING. I didn't even own a black pen. I can almost hear the deep inhale of all my fellow scrappers out there! It was awful. However, thanks to my fabulous vendors, I was able to order things at cost. BUT, the catch with that was, I had to order 3 of everything. SO..I had lots of items that needed to go. I set up a table in the rummage sale and sold almost all of what I had! I was sooo happy(and I think Steve was too!!)
It was nice to sell things a little below retail and still make some extra money! It was also nice to run into some of the ladies that used to come into my shop. They got very excited to see some of the beautiful items I had to sell. Made me want to reopen. Then...I remembered the sleepless nights, the balancing of the budget, the 60+hours a week and I could go on and on, but i'll save that for another time.

*Enjoyed a nice dinner with my Grandparents tonight. Grandma made fish for her and I, and a nice steak for Daniel, Steve and Grandpa. We are so lucky to have them close. We love spending time with them and Daniel loves to go over to visit. We try to see them atleast once a week. Somtimes it's hard with everyone's busy lives.. but it is something we should do more often..

Steve hurt his back, so he's in bed for the night full iwth pain medicine..I'm doing some light cleaning and Daniel is quietly playing in his bedroom. Perfect night for hanging out.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
