HAPPY SIX MONTHS DYLAN!!!!!

The little one is six months old today! I can’t believe how quickly the time has passed and how much my little baby has changed. Dylan is trying his hardest to crawl, and sit up too. He is super busy and in to everything. Thade has become the great-entertainer and keeps Dylan laughing. Big hugs to my little one, and my big kid too!

New Day New Loss Leaders

It is amazing what a difference a day makes. Yesterday I was sick as a dog, and today I’m a brand new migraine free super motivated girl. I’ve already got my bottle pumped for the day, and a load of laundry in the wash.

Today is also Loss Leader Day if you live in SE KS. I think I’m going to have to make the time to make the trip to Dillon’s, Walgreens, and Big Lots too. Here is what I’m shopping for: Continue reading »

Little Miss Migraine

Today I have yet another migraine, and I’m just not feeling well at all. You know what that calls for, a Homemade Vanilla Iced Coffee or two ;)

Today Thade was up bright and early at 6:45 a.m. Dylan is FINALLY down for a nap. Dylan has been pretty grumpy the last week. I have take him to the Doctor next week for his six month check up. Maybe she can shed some light on his grumpiness. He is also due for four more shots, so I don’t think that will help with the grumpiness at all.

I’m off to finish that second Iced Coffee, and take a little rest on the couch.

Winter Worries

September 25th, 2007

Early morning I usually flip on the news and see what is going on in the world, and I don’t know if I can stomach that task any more. This morning I was flipping through the channels and stopped on CNBC. I started reading the scrolling headlines, and one disturbing headline caught my eye. Projected: Winter home heating costs to rise an average of 10%! Nico’s stress level is now at a 12 out of 10.

Last year we spent our first Winter in our new home, and heating costs were astronomical. I can’t imagine what they will be like this Winter, or even how to budget for the increase. I’ve been stressing about Winter utility costs since about mid-Summer. Here’s hoping for a mild Winter.

What steps are you taking to winterize your home? How do you keep your energy costs bearable?
