I had a great surprise lunch with my Aunt Angel today, she and her cuties were in the area so they got me for lunch! It was my first time meeting little Jason, now 8 months old, he is such a sweetie! And Jessica is so big now! Starting 7th grade soon, time is flying! We had a great time, talked about everything and I finally got a chance to thank her for everything she did for me a few years ago. I just hope she knew I meant it!

I stayed with her and my uncle david a while back while I was going through a tough time, I needed a change of scenery and the family support was so helpful. They got me into a much better place, into therapy, and well, all growed up! LOL As much as I know they haven’t agreed with all of my decisions, I feel that the decisions I have made, right or wrong, were made with more thought and consideration than ever before, I am not the same impulsive bratty girl any more.

I really could not have done it without their help, I don’t know where I would be today without the intervention of my family. I needed it even if I didn’t think so at the time.

My camera battery was dead, so no pictures, but here is a picture of them from my cousins wedding a few weeks ago.

This is a sponsored post for Blinds and Drapery.com, a site offering custom window treatments, they have some really nice ones, I am thinking about getting some to replace the ones in the baby’s room, the ones in there are so old they are all dry and break if you bend them, but I need to talk to the landlord first, I am sure he won’t mind- if nothing else I will get new ones myself and keep the old ones in a closet to put back up when we leave- if I pay 100% then they are coming with me!

I am also looking at doing the same thing with the living room, replacing the normal blinds with some of those shades that block more light and such, to make it more energy efficient in here, I hate paying high electric bills! I am really liking these cellular shades, they look nice, and like they will let in light yet still save energy. Depending on the way to instillation method, we may do the same thing as in the baby room, get them, put up the old ones, and take them with us- but we will see, there is still a lot of other things to get for baby before we can upgrade the house.

I spent some time today updating the site, mainly adding and repairing things. I finally got the search results page fixed, so now you can search for keywords in the blog. I also added a link to the baby registry after several requests to do so. Another addition is the donation button, yes, we are at that point now. :-( I hate having to add that on there, but if we are going to ever be able to have enough money in savings to get a suitable car before the baby comes I had to do it. The goal is to have enough to get a cash car by my 35th week. On our own, without help from family and donations we are looking at only having about 1200 dollars in savings by then. A halfway decent cash car around here runs at least double that, we will have to really shop around when we get the cash together to find something decent to buy.

It is officially too hot! I just got up from a short nap in the bedroom and it feels GREAT in there, I walk into the livingroom and it is at least 20 degrees hotter in there! Air is leaking somewhere! I think it is time for curtains in the kitchen area, anything to block the heat! That means I get to go shopping! Being pregnant and hot is the pits!

Also have a headache, behind my right eye and right temple, kinda throbby, that means sinus right? I think it is ok for me to take benydryll, I will call the doctor in a few minutes.
