made BANK!

this morning i went to a MOPS garage sale at our fairgrounds. i kicked BUTT! i got peanut outfitted for the entire year and i only spent $11 more than our allowance. today was the last day of the garage sale so it was half price day. i made out like a bandit. she rang me up and i thought i easily would have spent another $400 if i tried to buy all of that new. nordstrom, carters, gap, hannah anderson, incredible stuff. and a play mat with an overhangy thing and a baby bath tub that the county said we had to get. before we went i said "dear god-please provide" and that's all i said and then i went in and there was so much stuff i could use. i still haven't made up my mind on a sling. i don't know how to pick one out? everyone gives me different suggestions and i just don't know how to use them. and i have a weak back at times so i'm not sure if i could even sling a kid if i had one. anyway-i was proud because i prayed and let god provide and then was so incredibly frugal i think even god said "dang!"
people complain all the time because we get a one time allowance for each kid, it's not even $100, but i, seriously, have never had a problem. i just buy what i need and make sure what i bought is resale, looks brand new, and then i take care of it. i'm so excited.
OH! and best of all, the onesie on top says "peanut" on it. if you click on the picture you can see it. my eyes about bulged out of my head when i found that. can't wait until he fits into it this summer.

one more thing-when i was ringing up they were asking sweet pea "so do you have a brother or a sister?" and i said "a brother." and they said "how old is he?" and i said "5 days." and every head at the table whipped and looked at me and said "what?!" and i said "OH NO! I didn't give birth to him." And they said "wow, in our house we were still in a daze at 5 days." i wanted to say "ya, but i did make dinner every night this week, and made every appointment on time, and cleaned the house from top to bottom and today is the first day that the house isn't spotless!" but i didn't. i just let them think i was a slacker. i'm not sure what they thought my connection to the baby was.
