Mermaid Tears....Don't Ask

Many things have been going on in the Kelley household. We are busy, busy, busy! So here is a recap of recent stuff I have had on my mind.......

1. Why the heck doesn't blogger fix their outdated, slow, and stupid picture loader?!?!? They can't seriously think that it is adequate. I've been tempted to switch to another blog site but what all does that entail? I don't think I want to find out. Then again, maybe I do.

2. I need to have a yard sale this Spring. So I'm going to have one......I'm thinking late in April or early in May. Anyone who wants to bring stuff to my house to get rid, please feel free! Carthage is the best town in the area to have a yard sale in because they are like yard sale businessmen here! haha! No joke! My sister, Susan, had a yard sale here once and made $4,000.00!!!! Crazy, huh??? Granted that $1,000.00 of it was for a table and chairs but still!! I'm going to let the boys have a little drink stand like they did last time.....they can earn their own spending money for the fourth of July weekend in Osage.

3. I have been trying to get busy cleaning up the yard for Spring. I've been burning boxes and leaves and dead stuff. I know when I lived at 1650 Young St. I bought a new rake. And somewhere in between here and there it is gone. So yesterday Asher and I were picking up leaves and weeds and sticks by hand and putting them in his red wagon, they pulling it to the fire pit and dumping them in. I have been LOVING this great weather though! SO DO NOT LIKE the cold!! UGH. Hopefully it will stay gone for awhile.

4. I am an ARBONNE consultant now! yay!

5. I figure that I can't make myself feel too badly about the breast feeding thing anymore. Really the more I pray about it, the more peace I feel. I am sure that things happen this way for a reason. And she got three solid months of just breastfeeding, then two months of both breast and bottle feeding. So, at least she got all that. Some moms don't even do that much so I guess that's something. I just feel that at some points I didn't really give it as good of a go as I should have but again, maybe there is a reason I felt the need to get her those bottles. After all she was losing weight....all that really matters is that she is healthy now, right?

6. By the way, I LOVE my family and friends. So much recently has made me realize that I don't need to be as distant as I usually am with people. I have serious trust issues. But, working on it.

7. My mom is in physical therapy now. She has graduated to a cane from her walker! It's good to see. I was really nervous for her when she broke her leg. She still goes really slow and has a limp but she's getting around better. Still don't like her out there all by herself.
