Give Ya a Buck!

Kidlet and I went garage saling today...it's amazing how much you can get for how little - and even more amazing how much of what I bought today was brand new - still had tags on!

We were out for 7 hours, visited 16 garage sales, drove 95 miles round trip, and spent $35.25. Here's what we got for that:

• Potty - $3 (from a grandma's house...looks like it was never used!)
• 6 books - $1.50 total
• 2 tops - $1.50
• 7 pair pants - $4.75
• 2 dresses - $1.50
• 1 sweater - $.50
• 1 Christmas outfit - $3
• 7 matched outfits - $4.50
  
• 1 Paddington Bear ornament - $.50
• 1 Disney Princesses "purse" - $.50
• 1 stuffed dog = $1 (Spoiled Baby hadn't put it down since she found it...)
• 1 "musical instrument" puzzle - $2 (the pieces have magnets and a sound plays when they are fitted into the right slot - WAY fun!)
  
• 1 Cookie Monster "happy birthday" tin - $1 (guess what her party theme will be next year?)
• 3-piece suit + blouse for her mama - $10

Not bad, eh?

Too Long for a Nap?

So I came home from work last night and was so exhausted that I crawled into bed to cuddle with Spoiled Baby ... and woke up 15 hours later.

So, uh, is that too long to call it a nap?

Another Weekend...Gone

I can't believe it's already Monday! Between starting Lamaze classes, judging speech and debate on Friday and Saturday, plus finishing up on work for a few freelancing clients...I'd swear it was just Friday!

How do you all manage your time over the weekend? I find that it's harder to manage weekend time than my hours throughout the work week. During the week, I can generally schedule everything around my full-time job and just make everything fit in. On the weekends...I feel pulled in a million different directions at times. There is always a lot that I want to do...and never enough hours to fit it all in.

So now it's Monday again, and between anticipating a busy work week and more to accomplish next weekend, I'm just going to be speeding from one Manic Monday to the next. How about you?
