LIFE

I finished my Easter shopping. You know, as long as I've been living here, no one's even bothered to tell me that Burlington Coat Factory has layaway! I found out yesterday, when I was getting ready to plunk down nearly $200 on Easter dresses and accessories (and that was just for the girls), when the sales clerk informed me! I really think that's kind of sad when people withhold information like that from you, especially when they know darned well that you are struggling to care for three growing girls! Well, whatever; the Lord always provides what we need, anyway. I was able to set aside some really beautiful dresses for my daughters, plus one dress for me! I wasn't going to buy myself anything, because I really wanted the girls to have new dresses, and I always put something together from my closet every year. But it will be nice to wear a beautiful Easter outfit for the first time in years!

I asked my husband if he would like me to buy him a suit. He told me that he will buy one himself, if he chooses to get one. I'll keep you posted on that! LOL He may not want me involved in the suit purchase, but that doesn't mean that I can't buy him other things.........

PUNKIN PASSED THE READING TAKS TEST!!!!!!!!!! I am SO proud, because I know how hard everyone has worked to help her pass!

I have been taking my vitamins faithfully, and also added a cranberry (for the urinary tract) and a stress formula (vitamin B and zinc) supplement. I must say, I haven't felt this good in a long, long time, especially during my menstrual cycle. I am used to having 2 good weeks in a month, and 2 very trying weeks, where my hormones are going haywire. But this month, since taking the supplements, I've only had about 3 cranky days! That's awesome! I'll take three days over two weeks anytime! Even the symptoms, such as the bloating, the fatigue, and the cramps, seemed to have diminished! I'm aware of the fact that doctors are working overtime telling people that vitamins don't work, because people aren't scheduling appointments with them as much as they used to. But I am swearing by them; these supplements work for me!

I have a hair appointment this evening, and I have to get my vehicle inspected. I may have to run errands for my mom, too, but she told me that she may not be home today (she has a doctor's appointment). I cooked enough dinner to last my family a week, so today is pretty much mine to do what I want. Good deal, huh?
