Funny story

I was listening and watching Danicakes (my 3 year old) talking on her fake phone in the car yesterday. She was holding the phone on her shoulder while coloring in her book. Her conversation went like this.

Danicakes dials phone and waits....
Danicakes: "Hi! What are you doing? (pause) Yea, I had camp today. We did a show. Uh oh."
She dials back and waits....
Danicakes: "Sorry I lost you."

A dropped call?! I lost it. Still laughing about it. Just goes to show you how much they are actually listenting.

I wonder what service she's using.

I have Juju's 1st birthday tomorrow. I can't believe a year went by already. I'm reluctently having approx. 100 people over at my house. Pray the weather hold out as well as my sanity!

Stress....Stress and more Stress!

I'm absolutely stressing out these days. I have so much on my mind that I feel like head is competely spinning in circles all day long.

First, I have my daughter's 1st birthday party this weekend. We're having it at my house in the backyard. My husband's family is so big that I had to cut out a lot of them. But still, between family and friends I had to invite 100 people. That's including 20 kids (all under the age of 6).

 Guess what! They are all coming! I was figuring 60 people. It's the summer! Everyone is usually going away or have other parties. I never thought all 100 would RSVP yes. 

So besides the food, decorations etc. I had to hire some kind of entertainment right? I got a magician. It'll kill an hour of all these kids running around and give the parents a break.

IT BETTER NOT RAIN!

Second, my job is killing me and it's a slow painful death.  I use to love my job but now I practically cry when I have to wake up in the morning and go. And I only work two days a week!! You would think I would be able to handle two days.

Well now that my girlfriend had the baby I'm going to leave my job but not till November when she goes back to work then I'm going to watch her baby. I can't wait but as much as I hate my job I've been there for 7 years. It's a little scary.

Third, I've been trying to figure out how to work wordpress and get my blog over there and it's just impossible for me! Also, I have this shop on Etsy. People add my items to their favorites but no one is buying anything. If you like it BUY IT! I don't make money by people liking it. It's making me very sad.

Anyway, all this and more are really all about money. I know they say money doesn't make you happy but I sure wouldn't mind proving them wrong.

Miracle of Life

My best friend of about 10 years had her first baby yesterday and I got to witness the whole thing!  I got the call about 2:30am that she was on her way to the hospital. She had already told me she wanted me in the room during the delivery so I couldn't go back to sleep. I was waiting for the call to head over to the hospital.

About 4:30am her hubby called me to say the doctor couldn't believe how fast she was dialating and to get there quickly. I arrived there about 5:00 and this baby made her debut at 8:27.

It was the most amaxing thing I've ever witnessed! I had two C-sections so I didn't see a thing that was going on with me but this was really something. She was 11 days past her due date so everyone joked that this kid would walk out and have a full set of teeth. Of course, her mother has NEVER been on time for anything so I guess we know who she takes after.

Anyway, I'm still amazed at how good she did and how beautiful this little girl is. Everyone started crying in the room. We even got the doctor crying. She named the baby Ricki Marie. Ricki came from her hubby's brother Richard that past away a few years ago.

Congrats to my best friend Stacey and her wonderful husband Mike on you new little miracle
Ricki Marie!
