No Jo Mo 6 Saturday, November 06, 2010

I have decided to instead of stressing over how broke I am to make it into a game. The game? See how little money can be spent from now until tax return/finicial aid refund in January.

I have got my checking account into a positive number now. I have to pay for daycare by the 10th and get paid on the 12th. So I am praying nothing goes through during that time. Luckily I filled up my tank before the prices went up to 3.09 so I don't have to worry about that. I also saved money for parking that should pay through the end of the term. Unfortuately I am running out of toilet paper so I may have to purchase that. But I think that's really all I will need to purchase for awhile. I have a few dollars saved that can go to that.

On a good note, I have been dieting. So I won't be eating extra food. I know that sounds funny, but I have gained 15 pounds since last year. I am at the biggest I have ever been. So, obviously it's time to fix that. I have very few pictures with my daughter because I am embarrased about how I look. Sooo, it's time to lose some weight so that my daughter and I can have pictures taken together. (not professionaly, but just normal snapshots)

School is going well. Just about 6 weeks left. It went so fast. It's my last term as a non degree student. I get my associates degree finally and a certificate in EKG at the end of the term.

Lily is really starting to talk. It's crazy. I asked her if she had pooped and she said, "No." and I said, " I think you are lying." Well, she thought I said "Lion" and signed Lion and then "Roard" like a lion. I started laughing and she slaps her knee and starts laughing and says, "That's funny!" I just thinks she the greatest thing since sliced bread. She makes me laugh.

She now can recognize the letters in English "A, B, C, D, E, F, G?, K, O, P, M, W, Z" She can recognize the letters in Sign, "A, B, C, D, E, H, O, P, W, Z" She can sign the letters, "A, B, E, H, O, P, U, Z"

She LOVES her signing time CD's. She just absorbs them. She watches them over and over and over. So much that I can't even stand it. LOL I opened a new one today and she just went crazy. Signing time is what has taught her some of her English letters. The print the English on screen as they sign so she learns both.

Last night Lily woke up in the middle of the night. She wouldn't go back to sleep so I put her down in my bed and she fell asleep immediatly. It was nice to sleep next to her. We have only done it a handful of times because I refuse to get her into the habit of sleeping with me. Speaking of which, I am the luckiest mommy in the world. Every night around 9pm (or sooner) Lily grabs her blanket and says, "Night night." Then she walks to her crib and I put her in and she goes to sleep. This happens every night. I never have to fight her. She just goes on her own. It's wondeful!

I gotta go!
