After Reviewing

I've decided the haircut looks terrible. I hate it. I did take those long pieces off each side and it looks a little better. I guess I'm going to have to go to the doctor though and find out what kills them now. Last time I had them I just cut and colored my hair and it was fine. I don't know what to do. Natural things don't work. Chemical things don't work. I'm about to shave my head. I mean it! I'm sick of this mess!
I'll send updated pics later because right now its' dark and my camera stinks when it comes to taking pics in anything but high light.

Love to all!

UGH!

Just checking in. Things here are very busy. I now work at a Coffee Shop here in my town. I'm loving it! My business is going well although I haven't been able to put much into it these past few days thanks to getting head lice from one of my Goddaughters! I've treated it twice and they just won't die!!! I think they've become immune to the treatments. After the second treatment and no success I took measures into my own hands. Literally. I cut my hair. I cannot yet afford the cost of driving to Georgia to have the world's best hair stylist, Angela of Hair Studio 101, cut my hair, so I had to do the next best thing. Try and remember how she taught me to cut hair. I don't feel like it turned out so badly. You decide.

Well, they didn't turn out as well as I hoped. Besides, I broke the cardinal rule of picture taking and took it in front of the stupid window. Oops, I don't have time to go redo. This will have to do. Love to all !

Addictions

Why do people with their own addictions feel like they have to suck everyone else down into it with them??????
That's all I'm going to say about it. To say more may incriminate. Not myself, but someone close.
Just suffice to say, I have lost respect for a friend. They are unable to control themselves and when they take people with them they seem to like to watch the misery and foolishness of others enhanced. Through them they feed their own demons, to dump them off on their family to pay the price of their idiocy! Where are they when we are cleaning up the mess!! They are home, creating their own messes. Ruining their own family, slowly.

NO MORE!

OFFICER DOWN!!!!

Day Off

I decided to try and take a day off. I'm still finding myself working though. I just have so much fun! It's amazing to see how everything works.
Kea has been doing great today. She has taken a really long nap. It's given me the opportunity to wash some clothes and clean up the kitchen. Not that I can't do that when she is awake, it's just a little more difficult because she likes to cuddle and play with me. We have so much fun playing. She has a book that has nothing but pages and pages of pictures of different things and it has the word below the picture of what it is. Everyday it seems like she knows more and more of those words and the pics that go with them.
Poor Mike is working even harder these days. They have fired two of his co-workers leaving only Mike and his boss. It causes them to have to cover the long hours that they previously had split up while the other two were working. In addition to working 6 days a week 10 hours a day, he has gone to my parents house and done yardwork and fixed their dryer. I have the best man in the world! God has blessed us so abundantly!
I'm hearing Kea stirring around so I'm going to say hello for now(you know, the commercial?) Anyway! Love to all who read this!

A new job!

I've started a new job. It's a work at home business with AmeriPlan®, I am a Benefits and Training Specialist. This means I sign people up for health programs offered through AmeriPlan®. It's so cool. You put the ads out there and people call you to sign up for benefits! I'm having so much fun and I get to meet so many new people. I've learned so much in my training and I've even learned things about myself that I didn't know. Kea is taking it all with a grain of salt. She will come and sit up at the work area in our home and draw on the paper and bring her little miniature laptop and pretend she is "working". It has been such a blessing to be able to help hubby out and still watch her grow and learn on a daily basis. I'm not having to miss out on any of those one-time moments that some working moms end up missing by having to work out of the home. If you want to know more then check out my websites www.freedomathometeam.com/baddison and www.mybenefitsplus.com/baddison73

BabyK is doing great! Her vocabulary seems to grow each day. New words pop up and I'm forever having to figure out what they mean or what she is using them for! It's amazing how she is putting sentences together now. Her daddy was leaving for work yesterday and she went tearing down the hallway yelling," Dahyee, dahyee! I LUB U!" I went to work calling everyone trying to tell them. It was so cute!

Since I've been working it seems like I've been able to keep up with the housecleaning better. I think it's the better management of time that helps me. I've set aside certain hours to work on the business and then I schedule the housecleaning into the other time. I also have a reason to stay home now. Before I began working everyone assumed I could just drop whatever I was doing and run them places or go somewhere, because hey, a stay at home mom has plenty of time on their hands. All we do is sit around and watch soap operas and eat bon-bons! Right?

Well, it's 11:30 pm and I'm getting sleepy. I wish everyone who reads this the very best and pray you will be blessed beyond what you can handle!

She's better

Babyk's better today. Her fever broke last night. She's still being a stinker though and she keeps grabbing her neck and saying ouch. I'm wondering if she has a sore throat. Hmmm.

Right now we are watching Blue's Clue's! We found a clue! Yea!

O.K. on to whatever I was going to talk about. I'm not really sure at this point. I'm kind of all talked out. I'm a member on Cafemom.com and I have such a blast. I've met so many people and made so many new friends. It's great to be members of different groups that have the same interests as you. I'm a member of a photography group, raising girls from 0-5 yrs old, Pasco Florida moms, Recipes group, potty training group for girls, and several more. It has helped because there is so many responses to choose from when you post a question. And so much support when you need it. If you're a mom and reading this then click on www.cafemom.com and check it out. It's free, kind of like myspace but only moms.

Well, I've gotta go start supper so I've gotta make this short. Love to all!

Babyk's sick

We have had a busy weekend. We had to be at Hubby's dad's house Friday morning, then to their friends house by noon, then head over to Orlando by 6pm and we didn't get home until after 11:30pm. Got up Saturday morning and hid all day. Well, until everyone started calling us. Then I ended up having to go practice for praise and worship. I ran into mom and we met her up at the nursing home to visit grandma. After that we went grocery shopping. Got home and while taking BabyK out of the truck I noticed she was burning up! We got inside and took her temp and it was 100.9 degrees(they don't have the little degree sign on a keyboard? what's up with that?) So we started pullin' out the Tylenol and Motrin. It's Sunday evening and her fever broke around 6:30pm. However, hubby just came home from church and we heard her in there sniffling and whining/crying. He took off(cuz he was so disappointed about missing putting her down for the night) and went in to check on her. I walked in to see him with her cuddled up on his chest(she's getting too big for it so it looks kind of awkward). She was burning up again, the sheets were even wet with all the sweat! My poor girl. I hate when she is sick. The crazy thing is, you can't tell when she is sick because she doesn't ever act sick. In spite of a fever when other people would be moaning and groaning she plays and cuddles and gets kind of crazy! Like throwing sunflower seeds all over the place and throwing one of her little plastic dolls hats at my face and nearly taking my eye out!

Tomorrow is catch up day. I'm gonna clean and clean and clean some more. I hope. It sure needs it. Especially the floor. (you know the sunflower seeds and all)

I don't have much to say, I'll try again tomorrow.
Love to all!

Do I want to be a travel agent? A referral specialist for Melaleuca (not going so well), a blogger and get paid for it, a vitamin salesperson? There are just so many choices! Unfortunately all of them require you spend nearly more money than you are promised to make. I am so over it all ready. The legitimate home jobs are all so "impossible" to get into and the ones that are easy are all scams or require you to do hard selling, even though they say you don't have to. Well, there sure are a lot of liars out there!

I'm going on a photo shoot on Sunday. I'm going to be assisting the photographer. That is my "part-time" job for now. It is flexible enough that I don't have to get a daycare provider for BabyK. Usually Hubby is home on the days that people schedule for photographs or weddings and stuff. Now, if business would just pick up so I can start making some money at it! That would be great.

I guess I'm not exercising good faith if I'm worried all the time about working when I know God wants me to be a stay at home mom. It is hard to have faith when you are looking at the bills and they out number the amount of income! That's why I'm getting so desperate for a job of some type that will bring in just a little extra money to help out.

The weather here has been wonderful! I love rainy weather. I'm sitting here lounging on my love seat gazing out the window through the trees at the hazy sky. I love how green the tree leaves look against the darkness of the clouds behind them. The darker the clouds the more beautiful the green. My favorite part is when the thunder comes rolling in and then the rain starts falling. The steady sound makes my eyes so heavy and I just want to close them and disappear into a fairy land under the mushrooms growing in the backyard. I used to imagine there were fairies living under the mushrooms and that they were like little houses because they all grew together to make it look like a village. They were all busy gathering little fruits and veggies and twigs because they would mix together recipes to make their fairy dust that they would sprinkle on us while we were sleeping to give us happy thoughts. No, I'm not on any pain medication! I just like thinking back on stuff that I imagined as a child. Sometimes, I think people would be better off to think as children once-in-awhile. It gives them a little taste of the innocence they lost as they entered adulthood.
I also used to love to take a little lamp in the living room coat closet and hide in there and pretend that I was going to go into the land of Narnia from the book The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. It never worked for me though. But, I had a great time in that closet playing with my dolls and pretending to be whatever I felt like at the time. As sad as it is, I remember hiding in there pretending to be Anne Frank from The Diary of Anne Frank. I think she still remains one of my few hero's I don't have many because people are just people. Some of them go through extraordinary circumstances in which God gives them the grace and comfort and care they need to get through them. Many of them don't even want to recognize God's gracious hand in it and either blame Him or just give him no credit at all.

Well, back to the land of NOW, I've got to go conquer a load of laundry and dishes.
Love to all,
