It's the little things . . .

Yesterday, I went to the local Christian Bookstore to see if they would like to buy the Disciple's Cross necklaces that I am making. They said yes! They are going to start with 50! And see how they do. It will take me about 4 hours if I worked on them straight through to get 50 done and I will make $200! Pretty cool!
I said in my last post that it was a good deal. You should really check it out. Fortunately, in the contract with the company, you have to agree not to compete with anyone already selling them in the same area as far as selling to stores, so now I have that store locked in.

So, today I finally went to the city to replenish my supplies of paint and glaze for the shop. It's good to know I have THAT out of the way. Anyway, while we were in the city, we went to my brother-in-law's job to pick up the $100 check they had waiting for me for over a month from a "bird dog" fee. Hubby was excited because he said since it was extra money we weren't planning on, we should "play" a little. We went to the mall and ate linner (or dunch, as I like to call it) and then went to Hot Topic to look for the Spongebob/Metallica shirt Chris had seen last year. Well, they didn't have it anymore. :( Sad faces all around. What we DID get was this shirt for Parker and this shirt for Lydia. How cute are those?! So, Chris is all happy now. I think he likes to shop more than I do. I KNOW he likes to shop for shoes more than I do. It's weird. I don't even like shoes and he has to have a pair to match every outfit he has. He is a very coordinated-minded man. (Sorry, tangent.)
We leave and get out to the car and Parker says, "*sigh* this has been a tired day." He is asleep almost as soon as the car starts moving and Lydia joins in the sleep very soon after.
So, then we race home (an hour away) in time to get Parker to his horse-back riding lesson. He is getting more comfortable already and it was only his second lesson! We get home, I pop some cookies in the oven and we are all just sitting and relaxing and Chris and Parker are making raspberries very loudly. I say, "hey! stop that. it's annoying." and Parker says, "BEE--OTCH! Ha Ha!"

Yes, it's the little things I love so much.

Gotta go kill my husband for teaching him that.

I'm a bad blogger

I'm a bad blogger.
I know.
I haven't posted in over a month!
I'm busy, people!
So, to catch up . . .
Lydia has 4 teeth, with 2 more coming in. The top 2 have a big gap b/t & are viscious, as she likes to scrape them along my nipple when she nurses!! OUCH!!
She is also crawling all over the place and has been pulling up & walking along furniture for at least 2 weeks now. (if you don't care about this stuff, tough. I need it so I can put it in the baby book later :p )

Parker continues to poop his pants . . .BUT today! oh, the poor kid actually tried to go potty on his own! But I was downstairs and didn't hear him yelling for me. He had sat on the potty by himself and tried to go poop. Which he did! Yea! But it didn't come all the way out of his butt and when I didn't answer him, he came downstairs to get me so I could wipe his bottom. Well, that poop plopped right out of his butt about half-way down the stairs and lucky me, I still had a mess to clean up. But, hey! At least he tried, right? And he tried to do it by himself. He may finally do it after all!

The business is not doing as well as I would like, but last night my brother and I brainstormed for about an hour about some possibly effective, cheaper means of advertising. Now, just to put them into effect . . .

Meanwhile . . . I go crazy on a daily basis. And I want 4 kids?! And my own business?! And to try to do everything else I get a hair up my butt to do?! Oh, and a clean house and a happy husband, too?! WHAT AM I SMOKING?!!!
No, really I DO want those things. And I believe it can be done. I may end up in an insane asylum, but that's just a slight drawback, right?

Anyway, check this out if you want a way to make money that is TRULY legitimate!

Keep on dancing!
