What a difference a day makes...

I am on the internet at home, now. YAY!!!! Now, all is right in the world! I am loving how quickly it loads pages. We had to go with a new internet service provider in this area. I haven't even taken a picture of the house yet, but I will soon and then I'll post it on here. The kids are enjoying having their own bedrooms, but spend plenty of time in each others room playing together or looking at books. I am still trying to find a home for everything (gained a bedroom and bathroom, but lost some storage - basement, garage, coat and linen closets) and have been giving things away. I gave away a ton of baby items to my pregnant sister and friend, I also am giving away some maternity clothes to the Crisis Pregnancy Center that my pregnant friend manages. I have also Freecycled several items!

Very soon, I will put my Home Management Binder on here - well, I will start with a picture of it, but the insides aren't ready for public viewing yet. I have been able to scrapbook some this year even with moving and all. My friend has a scrapbook night once a month at her house. I try not to take a lot with me and always regret not packing more, so I am going to make up my own scrapbook kits and put them in 2 gallon zipper bags that I purchased at Aldi. WM might have them now, but they didn't when I hunted everywhere for bags large enough to hold 12x12 papers.

Liam got a couple vaccinations yesterday and doesn't even seem phased by it. He slept right afterwards, but it was nap time anyways. He is such a little monkey and climbed on Laurana's toddler bed today. I couldn't catch him fast enough. Luckily, he hit the carpet, but he fell backwards and hit his head. That boy seems to fall a lot! He took off walking all over the house once we moved. Having carpet everywhere you're supposed to and not where you shouldn't helps. (The house we just moved out of had carpet in the kitchen, dining room, and bathroom! EWW!! The kids room had carpet, too). We hated the carpet in all the rooms except the kids room wasn't so bad. The new renters are going to rip it all out and refinish the hardwood floors. I just didn't feel like improving someone else's house. Well, I will have to chat with my virtual friends later this evening (I hope), since today is grocery day. I have to double check my menu and grocery list and shower. Oh, and for now, I can't be on the computer all night because I hooked the computer into Laurana's room. We have to buy a wireless router so I can be mobile with the computer.

I am going to have a Homemade Gourmet Open House the beginning of April. Those that order $50 or more will be entered in a drawing for $15 in free product! Go to Homemade Gourmet to see what you would like to order - please order directly through me, so I can turn one big order in at once. We have a lot of really great new products and all are backed with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. You can email me at shaykarena@yahoo.com or call me at 812-498-3561 with your orders. I prefer to take just cash, checks, or money orders right now. I do not earn as much money when I take cc. Thanks!

Moved but not settled in yet

We are moved and I'm waiting on the phone company to fix the exterior phone line, so I can be on the internet at home. They are taking their sweet time now. I am at the library just to let you know that I am still going to keep up with my blog.
We are enjoying the new house and still have a mountain of boxes to unpack. It is hard to find a place for everything since we no longer have a garage or basement. The kids don't have to share a room now and we have a 2nd bathroom, so we sacrificed some things to get some other things we needed. I can't stay long because Liam is walking everywhere and even though a laptop is mobile, it isn't mobile enough to chase him all over the library. Well, he is getting away again, so I will be on SCS again to chat with all my friends very soon. You can email me, since I get that on my phone. shaykarena@yahoo.com I miss chatting w/ all my virtual friends.
