Is It Naptime Yet

I’m so excited!!!
A while back I applied online for a nanny/ babysitting job. Well their online application process is a little screwy and didn’t work so I was needing to go pick up an application and apply in person. Life got busy and I never got around to doing it. I was just wanting to do it for extra income and I also felt guilty because I can be away quite often during the week and Jon gets lonely not seeing me.
Well now the opportunity has arised that I’ll be watching a friends baby girl twice a week during the day starting June and I’ll be able to gain that extra income I’ve desired. I’ve known her for around 12-14 years, however long her and my sister Carolyn have been friends. She had a daughter in February and is now wanting to return to work part time. She works in the real estate business so she can make her own hours.
We’ve agreed on an hourly rate and a minimum monthly amount. Since I’ll be watching her daughter on Thursday’s, the day of Lilah’s class we’re going to be getting a second car!!! I’m more excited about that than anything else! We had recently decided that we would save and get a car this June/ July before our road trips, but this just means we are able to get one sooner. I’m wanting a Toyota Camry, around 2004, or a similar car. I’m hoping it can fit a booster, a car seat and an infant seat, or that we can find a car that can. I’m really not ready for a minivan yet.
We’re planning on staying within our income, so whatever I make will go to saving for house projects or paying down debts. This job just makes decisions easier. I hope the babysitting goes well and shows to be a blessing in our life.
I’m just so excited! Now I can stop car dreaming/ lusting and get one!!

It’s my hubby’s birthday. He’s old. How old? Well if you know my age then reverse the numbers.  😉 (I know some of you are around his age, but to me that’s old, or at least I tease him about being old even though I know it’s not that old. It’s fun when your hubby is eight years older than you though.)
Lilah can’t wait for him to come home. We baked the cake and she wanted him home immediately so she could sing and have cake with him. It’s not even 11 right now so she has a long wait.
Lilah loves birthdays. She keeps asking when hers is. I tell we have Daddy’s, Grandma Blake’s, Mommy’s, Aunt Carolyn’s and then her birthday. She then asks when Eden’s is and I tell her after her birthday we have Katy’s and then Eden’s.
She can’t wait. She loves cakes and balloons and no doubt presents, but mostly cake and balloons.
I plan on having a pretty small gathering for her this year. Cousins and whoever wants to come that’s family.
Anyways I’m making a special dinner tonight, I can’t say what because Jon checks the site during the day. 🙂
Then we’ll have cake. Jon bought his own presents, so I didn’t get him anything. In a way I like it this way. We spend our birthday money on what we want and then the family can relax and you get exactly what you want or need.

I love you honey. Have a great day at work and know you’re family loves you. Don’t get too old. 😉

Last night on PBS the first part of “The Mormon’s” aired. I enjoyed what they did. It was neutral and not for or against the church, mostly just the facts. I learned a couple of things. One thing I just recently learned. I actually first heard about it from a south Park episode, which I was only watching because it was about Mormon’s, in which Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon by placing a seer stone inside a hat and looking into the hat. I knew about the seer stone, I didn’t know so much about the hat.
The second thing that came as news to me dealt with the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I had always envisioned and heard about it as upset LDS men who in rage one night went and killed a group or pioneers. I had no idea that it really happened in two sessions and that it was under false security for the travelers. It was really a planned killing of the survivors of the previous attack. That saddens me.

I do look forward to the second night. I find my faith changing. Partially because of Jon, but I do find that I like my faith, though I don’t always agree it.
