Having some fun

Life has been a bit stressful lately. Bree has missed quite a few days at school, due to her potty issues. And even the days she went last week, I ended up at the school, once if not twice everyday to help her out. It has not been pleasant. But we're making it through. In this regard, I am glad that summer break is only a short 6 weeks away! It can't come fast enough.

We've been working on some finances and we're trying to improve our situation. I mean who isn't right? But we have put ourselves on a very tight budget, and sometimes, it's not always fun. Knowing you can't splurge, or even go on vacation can sometimes get me down! I mean, it's summer, and I could SURE use a vacation right about NOW!!! But, we're foregoing the little things, in hopes of some bigger things later on. I'm trying to stay positive, but I am not always happy about it.

I am 12 weeks, and 3 days along in my pregnancy. So, I guess I am starting my 2nd trimester :) I see the Dr. in 4 weeks, and at that time, we get to make the appointment where we find out if we're having a boy or a girl. Hmmm, who wants to make a guess? I'm thinking at least a 98% chance for another girl. And maybe a 2% chance it's a boy. But as long as we have a healthy baby, we really don't care what we get! And on that front. I do have to admit, that this has been my BEST pregnancy ever. I was very sick with the first two, and I haven't even thrown up in this one! I think someone upstairs knew I would need this one to go well. With all of the things I have had to do for Bree lately, and running back and forth to her school, and just feeling down about a few things in life right now, it's just a good thing I am not bed ridden this time. Now, things are not perfect. I still feel a little yucky, and my nose can smell everything!!! And my nose does not like a lot of things. But overall I can't complain too darn much.

Well, this weekend, for both Chris and my sanity, we threw caution to the wind. We had some FUN!!! Even though we spent a little money doing it. And it was much needed Fun too! On Friday, I cooked a roast in the crockpot. Made real mashed potatoes and gravy! It was so yummy, and so were the leftovers :)

Then on Saturday, we took the girls to the Zoo! This was seriously my favorite Zoo visit ever! Due to many things I'm sure.... the fact that we just really needed a day out to play, or the fact that we didn't have to take a stroller, or diaper bag, and the girls just loved everything about the day, and the animals were all cooperating! All in all, this was seriously my most favorite Zoo visit ever!

Sunday afternoon, we took the girls to the park with a picnic. And when we got home, we got out their little sprinkler, and let them get wet! They loved that too. Bree said it was the best weekend ever. I know the girls had a lot of fun this weekend, and so did Chris and I.

Sometimes you just have to PLAY! :) Sometimes, you just have to have FUN!
