Butterflies in my stomach..
Typically right around the time a relative or close friend is due to deliver a baby I get very excited and anxious and even get butterflies in my stomach. We should get to met Alex a week from tomorrow; yes that's correct! So if you are a reader (like I have so many tee hee) who prays-pray this child and his mom and daddy home.
We truly adhered to our new budget this weekend (clap clap clap). We even avoided the temptation of the video store-we went to the library and got book s and videos from the library (now if we can not loose them and return them on time we will be $ ahead). Frankie made chili and cornbread and we had left overs the meal following. Yes, I will type about this a lot and am hoping this will keep us accountable. No stops for ice cream or anything (not even at Mc Donalds). I couldn't believe the selection of videos available from the public library. At first a budget can be "fun", but from other times we've budgted and then failed I know a budget is much like a physical diet but if we've ever any hope we need to stay strong.
Sunday evening Cannon came running out from his room chanting a victory phrase. I was perplexed so I inquired as to what he was celebrating. Are you all ready for this? He inspects his armpits and the area above his lips for hair-or any signs of hair. A friend of his has body hair so now all the boys from their "group" are desperately watching and hoping for hair growth. The entire occurence reminded me of a Seinfeld episode somehow.
On Sunday afternoon Granma Kris took Jewel to the arts festival so I scrap booked! I got one page done before they returned and then Jewel and I worked on the 2nd page together. I am So thrilled (Junie B. Jones reference for any of you mom and dads with grade school age children). Jewel and I were really "stuck" on a page -we had started it and torn it apart 3 times so finally I decided to just "go for it" and finish it with whatever came to mind.
I also took a very long invigorating walk and lifted weights!
Sara, ya gonna blog?

Yes, budgets are harder than diets, because diets can be on and off as the weight needs attention. When the budget needs attention, that's a bad sign!! We had to modify ours as well. This house is eating up everything we have and more. It's just unbelievable. And it's sad that this is a time when I really can't work my cake business like I'd like because there's not room here. It's my cake business that really gives us our wiggle room in the budget. That's our family fun money!! Anyway, congrats on the scrapbooking pages and keep on cropping!! And blogging!!

Jennifer -
Avon sells some great hair removal cream if Cannon is interested. (Well, probably not...but if Jewel starts growing facial hair...call me...$8.99)
