Bad day

I’m not having a real good day today. I’ve been babysitting Benton since Wednesday because Andi had Army business to take care of in Texas. She got back last night but had to be in Ft. Dix today and tomorrow for her Army Reserves weekend.

I swear I want to put up some wireless security cameras in the bedroom to see what Benton is doing when I put him down for his nap. I put him down today and a few minutes later he started crying. I went in to see what was wrong and he was completely soaked along with his pillow, quilt, clothes and his blankies. Evidently I didn’t put the cap on his bottle correctly and it leaked all over.

Note to self: just because the cap is tight doesn’t mean it’s on right… check it first!

Losing

I’ve been losing weight without really trying. It’s like I’ve been taking Weight loss pills that work fast. I don’t know exactly what I weigh because I don’t have a scale to weigh myself but my clothes are getting big on me so that means a weight loss.

I’m really happy about that because I’ve been wanting to lose a few pounds. It’s not that we don’t have food to eat because we do. It’s just that I don’t eat a lot anymore. I want to make sure that Benton has the food he needs because it’s more important that he gets all the right nourishment.

I don’t eat a lot for breakfast, rarely any lunch but we always have a good dinner. I don’t snack much in between meals either.

Growing like a weed

Benton is getting so big that he’s growing out of his baby clothes so fast. He wears 18-24 month sizes now and he’s only 14 months old.

The temperatures are beginning to cool off and he needs warmer clothes and jackets now. He has a couple hand-me-downs that Andi’s friend gave her but he needs more.

I guess it’s time to go find some good deals and do some shopping so the little sweetheart can keep warm and play outside this fall.

It sucks to be broke

Yes.. it sucks to be broke. Anyone who has ever been broke should know what I mean. I need new clothes because my current wardrobe is getting threadbare and falling apart. I don’t want to go out and buy expensive stuff like Cole Haan shoes. I just want to be able to go to Target or even WalMart and get something halfway decent to wear.

My socks are getting holey along with my underwear. My bras are losing their elasticity. My jeans and springing holes around the pockets and seams. It’s horrible to have to live this way.. I don’t want people to think I’m a homeless bag lady because that’s how my clothes look. I’m not really homeless.. I do have a roof over my head.. even though it’s a camper roof… at least it’s a roof and it’s warm inside.

Had a really busy day

I had a really busy day today. First I went to the bank to make a deposit, then I went to WaWa, the laundromat, CVS then to Shoprite. Then I called Andi to see if she needed to borrow my car… she did. So I picked her up and she dropped me off at the camper.

I had EBay auctions that ended while I was out so I had to send out invoices for that stuff. I relisted some things that didn’t sell in a different format and within 10 minutes of listing them they all sold! So that meant sending out more invoices.

Next was to get the cat fur off my comforter.. see review below… then put away the clean clothes. The next step was to work on my blogs, which I’m still doing, and wait for Andi to come back to pick me up so I can take her back home.

I left the camper about 9am this morning and got back here about 12:30pm.. almost 1pm. At least the day was productive and I got lots accomplished. I was even thinking of checking out some term life insurance online quotes. I still might do that later on.

Chunky

My clothes are getting tight on me. I’m not too thrilled about it. I either need to start using some Solo Slim or get my self back on the elliptical. I think the latter is the better choice for me right now.

I haven’t used the elliptical in months. I say I haven’t had the time for it but the truth is I’ve just been lazy. I just have to force myself into a regular routine and get myself back on track and back into my clothes. I can’t afford to buy new clothes and I don’t really want to buy bigger ones!

Shopping online

Do you shop online? What kind of things do you shop for? I’ve bought clothes, shoes, appliances, gifts, electronics and even shopped for auto insurance online.

Shopping online can be a safe experience if you only give your personal information on a site that is a secure site. Usually you can find that out by looking at the bottom of your screen. You should see a little lock. If it’s closed then it’s a secure site. If it’s open.. then it’s not secure. Also look for https in the URL of the website. The https means a secure website.

Shop safe and keep your personal information secure.

Cleaning day

Today has been cleaning day. Hubby finally got our headboard and dresser out of storage and I’ve been putting our clothes into the dresser. 1st I cleaned the dresser off really well (I was covered in dust) and cleaned out the drawers.

All of the clothes had been stored in the closet on the shelves. Now I can use the shelves for other things such as extra cables, HDMI switches, important papers, fire boxes and whatnot. These are extra shelves not the ones that go on top of the hanging rods. These shelves are a unit type thing that one of the hanging rods hooks onto. there are 5 shelves with room below for plenty of shoes.
