Sick.....

Well, it has been a long time... I mean LONG time since I have been super sick. Well, last night it must have been years in the making because both Adrian and I have been sick as dogs. It started last night when we went to Ruby Tuesdays when we both didn't feel right. It wasn't anything we had eaten because I had started to feel funky earlier in the day. It hit me around 10 pm last night... and boy.... you won't be interested in the description, but I haven't felt like this in ages. And with Adrian and I both being sick it was hard to take care of Kara so thankfully Nanna came over and got her and is watching her for the day. I am feeling a tad better now, but still not the normal Kelly :-) I am going to bed now, but hopefully tomorrow will be a fresh, new day with me feeling much better!!

Look At These Beautiful Photos!

I took these today..... it was her first time playing in the grass!

Frustration at Companies....

Well, why is it that some companies profit off of shipping expenses??? I just received a fragrance oil order for my business and the package weighed ONE pound and I was charged almost 4.00 more than it actually cost to ship the package!! I visited the USPS site to get an actual cost to ship the package and there it was as plain as day 4.60!!! And I was charged 8.20. Sure, add a few packing peanuts in there and that might constitute an additional 1.00, but this is ridiculous. This company is notrious for overcharging and it is so frustrating. I have contacted them and complained, but not sure how much good that will do. I have phased out a lot of my oils because it's so difficult to carry from multiple suppliers who want to charge an arm and a leg for shipping. I only charge my customers exact shipping costs because I know how frustrating it is to pay for extra shipping on top of product costs. GAH!

Now that I have gotten that off my chest because it's been bugging me for quite some time.... Kara's last day at her previous day care provider was Friday. We were all sad.... her daycare provider is going to start teaching at the local school so we had to scramble to find a GOOD daycare that provided adequate care and met our needs. We found one but it just makes me so nervous to change... I hate change sometimes and when it comes to your kids you only want the best for them... never thought I would hear myself saying that, but it's true. And you worry about them being around other kids who's parents might not care as much and you don't want bad attitudes rubbing off on your child. So she starts Monday.....

I am busy this weekend packing orders and getting things done around the house. Kara is in her playpen just playing away. Amazing how they can occupy themselves for hours!!

Grandpa Came To Visit

Grandpa came by and visited Kara tonight. She was quite handful earlier! She is at the stage where she gets that anxiety if you exit the room. When I am doing house chores and other things I try to position her in her exersaucer so she can see me but boy does she get upset if I disappear out of her site range! Apparently this is "normal" and she is learning cause and reaction. I love it when she gets all excited when I walk back into the room.... her smiles are so darn cute with her two bottom teeth. She is so fun! Tomorrow is terrific tuesday as I call it. She will go to Sunny's daycare. Only this week and she switches day care. I am a little upset about that because Sunny is so good with her, but I recognize the fact that you gotta do what you gotta do. See, Sunny got a job as a teacher, so little Ms. Kara has to go to a new provider. I do hope this new provider works out :-) Well, it's bed time for me!

Poo and More Poo

I am just testing this first post out but I must say that there are positive points of having to take Kara to daycare while I go to work.... means that I don't have to clean many of her poo filled diapers! This morning I woke up to a nasty aroma wafting from her nursery (we keep the door closed during the nights) and I could smell it from OUTSIDE of her door! It was a NICE early morning surprise needless to say. Not something I can handle before my first cup of coffee! LOL

She had a good day today!
