Its Friday. Again my Husband is home. Not because he wants to be but because again they have gone back to a 32 hour work week. Wouldn't be so bad if he got his unemployment for the day. However the state has some glitches in their system. They are taking his Friday unemployment money for child support when his work is already taking out the very large amount of money. They still take the required amount chosen by the state. Now they just take more! Isn't that sweet of them.

I got the OK!

I got the ok to announce the great news. My sister is going to have- Oh maybe I should make my readers wait a bit longer!

Ok you talked me into telling you!

She is going to have a GIRL!

I wonder how my little boy is going to feel entering the world and being surrounded by all GIRLS!?!

Did you know?

Did you know I have a sister? Only one and I wouldn't trade her for the world. Did you know I am so excited for her. She is going to have a baby! Did you know that she had an ultrasound today and saw her baby! Everything looks great. Did you know that she found out what she is having? Did you know I am so excited for her?

One more thing- Did you know I know what she is having?!?!

Wednesday

Rose came home yesterday from preschool with a colored flower. I assumed she did it.

Later in the night she told me that her friend N-

made it for her

(the little boy who wants to marry her)!

She fell asleep on the living room floor after supper and playing outside.

Guess she had a long day!

She's got curl! (some days are better than others)

I got CRAPPED on!

We made it to the garage sales! My sister bought 2 books and spent $2.00! I did spend a bit more and found a few clothing items for the girls. I got 2 winter coats for Sweet Baby Girl for $2.00 each. One of them looks like its never been worn! I found some baby boy socks that look new and 2 outfits. Most of the sales had tons of girl clothes. We also saw alot of infant car seats (which I would never buy a used one unless I knew who's it was and that is wasn't in any accidents). There were some sales that had small toys but very dirty. I thought most people would have cleaned up there stuff a bit before trying to sell it. Might have sold faster. We happen to run into my grandparents who gave us a sample of the Homemade Amish Donuts they bought. Very tasty. We had to go get our own!

After the sales we went to pick up the girls! They didn't seem to have missed me as much as would have liked. Sweet Baby Girl was more interested in the little puppy! The babysitter seemed to have kept the girls busy and they can't wait to go back! They even got their toenails painted. We went to lunch after that at the Cafe with my cousin and my grandparents.

After lunch we went back to my sister's house to clean up our things and rest a bit before we headed for home. Well, did I ever get crapped on! I was getting Sweet Baby Girl into her car seat and all of sudden out of the blue something wet a gooey hit my arm. I look at it to find that I was crapped on by a bird! Very yucky. Then after cleaning that up we head out. As I was heading down the road my gas light came on. Ok fine I will put gas in. So I pull into the ONLY station in town and the pump wouldn't work. It said pay attendant. So I went in and the lady tells me I can not get gas because the pumps are not working. Ok I have 3 kids in my van and my gas light is on. I really didn't want to go to far looking for gas and happen to run out with 3 kids in the van who were almost asleep already. So we headed to a near by town to get gas. Just roughly 3 miles out of our way. But I felt better doing that than heading to the bigger town and taking a chance of running out completely on our way. So when I have the kids and most other times I do the pay at the pump thing. Saves me time in having to get the kids out and take them in to pay. So I did that. Got back in the van and buckled. Right as my seat belt clicked Rose says "Well, I do need to go to the bathroom". So we all got out and went inside to go potty. I felt like I was never going to get home. I was so tired. After that all went well and we made it home.

The first official "babysitter"

So I have hired the first official "babysitter" for my girls. In my town I have talked about it with a few other mothers but never hired anyone mainly because I don't know anyone old enough to hire. Well, tonight I am going to my sisters house and in the morning we are going to some garage sales. The town next to my sister has citywide sales and I am sure its nothing to get too excited about but I felt a babysitter would be a good idea. I mean really how much garage saling can you do with 3 little girls? So I have hired my cousin who thankfully lives in the same town as my sister. She is 16 years old and I am sure the girls will have a lot of fun. It will only be for about 3 hours. That's if the sales are good! Wouldn't it be great to find a BRAND NEW double stroller in the box yet at garage sale price! Yes, I am dreaming. I will let everyone know if I catch any good deals. My plan is to be up, showered and have all 3 girls ready at 8am! Oh and my sister ready too!

A farmer's wife!

I visited Rose's preschool today for a conference with her teacher. She had a very good report. I found one thing funny. I was able to see the progress Rose has made in her drawings. The most recent drawing of a person just happen to be me! She drew a baby in my tummy. The baby even had its mouth, nose and eyes! It is just the cutest thing!

About 2 weekends ago when I was working at a Carnival for my daycare association alittle boy from Rose's preschool came to my game. I recognized him and asked if he was N- and if he knew my daughter Rose. This little boy is the cutest thing. Little boy face with glasses. I wish I had a picture of him. He looked at me and said "Yes, I know Rose, I am going to marry her". He didn't hesitate when answering me or even think about it. He knew right way what he wanted to tell me. His mom told me that he comes home everyday after school and he always tells her about Rose!

Well today at preschool I found out that they have talked about what they want to be when they grow up. Well N- told the class he wanted to be a farmer and Rose was going to be his wife! Then when it was Rose's turn she told the class she wanted to be a teacher. I guess N- told her she was going to be his wife and she can not be a teacher.
