Another Busy Week

I can hardly believe how busy I've been lately. My little day planner is full, and keeps filling up every day. This is the time of year a number of different Dairy meetings occur, it's getting close to seeding, the weather is nice so many other things start happening and there is this deep longing to get out of the house whenever we get the chance, there's the spring cleaning, there's weddings and socials and vacations and so on. It just keeps on coming!

Friday the 11th we got together with some friends for his birthday! It was so much fun! We haven't been able to get together for so long, as we've been busy and they've been busy. We want to see their house that they are building now. I would love to help them out too, although that may be difficult considering my being pregnant. There isn't a whole lot I can do besides cleaning up and such.

We also managed to clean up our vacation plans. We got another quote from the travel agent, and were able to book a trip to the Dominican for $2300 approximately for the two of us! We had a budget of $3000, so we're under! Yippee! And with the income tax return we got, we don't have to spend too much into this!

I've been visiting the chiropracter on a regular basis, and got a bunch of stretches and ball strength training exercises from him. So, not only am I doing these daily, I've also gotten more into an exercise routine. Writing down my goals for the day make it much easier for me to keep.

I created a baby budget. I figured out our current budget, worked out how much it would cost approximately on a monthly basis to provide for a baby, how much we may get from the government, and what we could cut back on in our current budget to make room for baby budget. I also worked through the larger one time costs (maternity clothes, nursery items, etc) that we'd need to get, what I thought they would cost, and if I could make them or not. I'm pretty happy with it. Monday I cleaned house again, and this time I spring cleaned the kitchen. So glad that is done! I don't care much for moving the stove. The fridge is easier to move and clean under and behind. I'm also all caught up on the farm books now, at least till the 15th of April. I have only a couple of things to enter, which will be done tomorrow in probably about a 1/2 hour.

Yesturday two of my friends came to visit! It was great! I haven't seen Brandy in years, and Lisa brought her little one with. I really want to try to get a bunch of people over and have a bonfire or wiener roast or something, and the kids could play outside with the dogs and cats. I don't know when I'll find the time to do it though!

Yesturday I also went maternity clothes shopping. I still can't believe how much I bought! Lena went shopping with me, and it's a good thing she did! I actually bought stuff, lol. I got a dress, pair of jeans, pair of dark brown slacks, and a two-in-one tank all at Thyme maternity, and then got a t-shirt with a cute black and white pattern, and a three-quarter length shirt from Walmart. These two shirts cost me $25. The other stuff all cost $205... woah. But, at least now I have some nice stuff.

Anyway, that's what I have to write for now. That is my week in a nutshell. This next week is also gonna be a doozy. Anyone have any ideas for what I should do for my haircut tomorrow?

Go short sabrina! Cut it all off- I did and it's so much easier to do my hair. It's my five minute hairdo.
If you don't cut it off- you should at least get some awesome layers.
Post some pic of your new do- I'm love to see it:)
