The Mommy Blogger
I love mommy blogs. They have been around since, like o-m-g forver. I love the ones that are full of pictures and descriptions of toddler antics and poopie diapers. It can be very entertaining, and we are all reminded of our own children when we read about them, and more then often we MUST comment back and give an example of when our kid did something similar. A lot of times though, I struggle to find the time to be able to post about these great moments and to read about them on other blogs. One thing I do not have time for is slow upload time on my pictures that is why I hardly post any. I always seem preoccupied with the drama of having to work extra hours here and there to make some spending money. Because you know, us moms need love too. Who does not enjoy having an extra dollar or two?! I do, most of the time if I do save up, I splurge on some MAC makeup.
One of the things that I was in search for was an easy, honest way to earn my spending money. That’s when I found SocialSpark. I love it. They make it super quick and easy to find opportunities for you to be able to make that spending money. If you have never heard of SocialSpark, and are in search of the perfect mommy blogger opportunity I highly suggest you check them out. One of my favorite things about Social Spark is the fact that YOU are the one that chooses what you will be blogging about. I think that is in the best interest of the author, and it will not bore your readers because they will start to think that all you did is copy and paste text into the browser and just clicked POST. I would recommend Social Spark to all the Mommy Bloggers out there. I hope this helps a mommy blogger looking into making money from home.
15 Weeks, erm.. 16 weeks
So as I am sitting here trying to think of something to blog about, then I realized that I actually have not posted anything about my pregnancy in quite a while. I will be 16 weeks this coming Wednesday. I updated the Baby Status page, I had not done it since week 12. I added a widget to show what the fetus looks like, and for it to show how many weeks I am. At this point I have not really decided on a baby theme, I think if it is a boy I want to do a cutesy bug theme and for a girl, I want a pink and brown theme. I am really liking the mod floral prints in the pink in brown, and I have been seeing really nice ones over at target. Anyways, my next appointment if July 8th, I am not too sure if I will find out the sex then, if I do I will blog about it right afterwards. I am too excited. 
The whole family says its a girl, so I don’t know.
Today, we went out and ran some errands. We finally bought some tape for the boxes. We are going to be needing some extra ones, so hopefully we can find them tomorrow. I am going to clean out my closet and get rid of the stuff that I will never wear or fit into. I have a nice pile that was accumulating on the floor of the walk in closet that will be going to a yard sale. There is a bunch of clothes hanging that need to be sold as well. We are thinking of having a yard sale about the end of July. I don’t want to wait to long otherwise the clothes will just sit in the garage collecting dust or still sit in my closet forever.
As far as the packing goes, we are going to start right now. I want to get all the frames and decorative stuff all out of the way before anything else. Then we will move on into our room, cleaning out the drawers and selecting the clothes we are keeping. OMG, I never realized how many clothes I have. Then after our room, I want to head on into the bathrooms. Most of the stuff is organized under the sink, still in the moving boxes we brought them in, so that should not be too big of a deal. I just think the hardest thing will be transporting clothes, and the shoes. My plan is to leave them hanging until we leave them pack them on into a car and then hang them up right away. It would just seem like a waste to put them in a box for them to get wrinkled then hang them back up. Not too mention the boxes would probably weigh a ton.
It is about 2 am right now, so I better go and start to put some stuff away and then get some sleep. Goodnight 
Medication
Well, I have been on phenergran for quite sometime now. I had not occured to me to re read the side effects side until last night when I had realized I had been feeling horrible for a couple of days. Right smack dab on the bottle in bold letters avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Why had I not noticed before? Man, I wonder if thats why I have been having migraines since Sunday?!?!
Today, we have to go and take the Tv’s and my Laptop to the house so we can have the verizon fios set up. We have to have all three Tv’s there in order for them to install the fios cable. Ugh. Our appointment time is from 2 to 4 pm. They better show up on time. I am excited to have the Fios, it is suuuuuper fast and wireless. I will be going with hubby today to look at the house, I have not seen it after they did some upgrades on it. I am excited. As for the packing, lol we just need to do some laundry and get it done her before we move. We have lots of laundry. I want to have our room packed to night. I want my son’s room packed next, and then the bathrooms, then finally the kitchen. I made sure I kept the electricity running here until the 15th just in case we have to come back and clean and such, we would not have to do it in the dark.
OMG, I hate the summer because we always get ants. They are driving me nuts. There are a few HUNDRED that decided it would be really cool if they could hang out behind our bathroom mirror. I am going to go and kill them before they decide they can come to bed with us.
BUDGET Momma
BUDGET momma. I am cheap. Everyone who knows me knows I am cheap. I hate paying more then I should for anything. Gas *cough cough*. I think its is always best to find a great deal on decent products. So in order to spread the word I will be reviewing products that are budget friendly and get the word out to you. I think I will do it once a week or so.
My first review is NYX Loose Powder. I bought these sometime ago, I want to say at least a year ago. I was looking into buying some MAC loose powder when one of my friends suggested I look into NYX first. I was suprised to learn about the price. $1.00. It would be a big deal to spend 10 bucks and not like the product, so I bought ten of them. I got most of the vibrant colors. The first time I tried them there was color but it kind of creased through out the day. I thought it was odd because my friend wore NYX all the time and it never creased. She told me that with any loose powder, I was going to have to use a primer before adding the powder. So the next weekend, I went out and found my self a primer and put on the NYX loose powder. Let me tell you the color payoff was great. It lasted all day long. You get a lot of bang for your buck on these loose powders. The only complaint I have is the packing, when you open it the powder flies everywhere so you have to be careful. I put them in a wider top container to avoid wasting all the powder when I opened it.
So all in all, if you are looking to find good cheap eyeshadow, buy NYX loose powder.

Read MoreNew Theme
OK, well not new, I just went in and edited some of the parts of Oh So Very!. I love this theme. I just can’t make my self a good header. Anyways we signed the termination of lease paperwork, our total settlement fee is 4 thousand and some change. Our move out date is July 23. I want to be out by the beginning that way we will not get lazy like we usually do. I have not started to pack, today will be the day that I get the living room in order and ready to go into boxes. I have a lot of scrap booking stuff that I will never use to pack up. I have not decided if I will keep it or list it on eBay.
Last night I hardly got any sleep, I kept having pregnancy nightmares, you know the someone cuts you open and steals your baby dreams. I woke up in such a hurry and told my husband and we stayed up for about an hour afterwards. I guessed I was having nightmares because I was super tired, the cable in the whole complex went out, so I was stuck with a bored 4 year old. The cable is still not back yet.
Well I am going to go sort through some of that scrap boooking stuff and put it away, so I get to playing The Sims, since there is nothing else to do. I will be back later today to post a post I have been working on.
Read MoreChildhood Fears
I was browsing a forum last night, and there was an interesting post about Childhood Fears. They has some really strange ones, like afraid of mirrors and the oddest afraid of gold colored metal. Some of the posters even said they still continued with the rituals to avoid the things they were afraid of well into theiradulthood. My childhood fears, I think are very justified. 1. Clowns, yes they are freaky. 2. Spiders, Yuck 3. Letting my feet or arms dangle off the bed while I slept. Something can grab them you know. I am still afraid of Clowns and spiders and last night I noticed I get a weird feeling when I let my feet dangle off the edge of the bed lol. I told my husband and he just thought I was retarded and laughed, lol.
I think its crazy how something in your life shapes what you are afraid of. One of the posters said she hated going down the stairs because she was afraid someone would grab her feet. When she was younger her father had grabbed her feet going down the stairs as a joke. I know that sibling (brothers) shape your childhood fears. My brothers used to throw rubber spiders at me all the time, or show me pictures of clowns. I remember once they tried to pull that bloody mary crap on me, and luckily my mom walked in just in time to tell me they were just being jerks. Its so sad, I hope my son does not do that to the baby. Kids can be so cruel.
Did you have any childhood fears? If so, do you still have them? LOL it will be fun to find out.
i am so excited right now, I bought a copy of dreamweaver in the hopes that I can get better at web design. Well I just installed it, so I am off to play and create a layout.
Read MoreRESULTS
So I called the lady that sent me the letter today. She told me someone had put the incorrect date on the form. They had backdated it. So it would put me at 25 days late. She had me send her a e-mail stating the date that I wanted it to start. So that is taken care of. She also wants me to fill out a form to be able to receive time donations from the entire county. That way I would get 100% of my salary as opposed of 55%. We unfortunately would have to still move. I still have to settle that this afternoon with the leasing office. Hopefully I will get good news from there too.
OK, I have to say that I am actually excited to be moving back to the house. We can have a pool this summer yay and the boy can have a yard to play in. Thats the best part because have you every had a four year old stay indoors allday. Wow he climbs the walls in here. So I will update later this afternoon when I talk to the leasing office.
