Camera for sale?

Margot's dad has over 20 cameras that we are looking to sale and I have no idea the worth or the best place to sell them.

I'm looking for a good electronics blog that might have information on buying and selling electronics!

Why does the economy have to be in such poor shape when we're looking to sale these very expensive cameras?

The aftermath...

I never realized how much there is to do after someone dies. Margot's been taking care of the financial stuff and I've been doing the posessions and trying to sell off and get rid of stuff.

Of course, the financial stuff would be easier had arrangements and beneficiaries were listed.

I guess it's all good prep so that we can make changes on our will in case anything ever happened.

Back to school for me?

Lately, I've been thinking about what I want to do for an occupation once the kids start school in another two years or so. I enjoyed healthcare and working with the senior population, however, I didn't like all of the responsibility and very honestly I'm not sure I'd want to manage other people.

I've really considered a MS nursing degree. Since I already have a bachelor I think I'd just have to take a few more science classes and then I'd be eligible.

One thing about nursing is that there's a constant need and I could work at the hospital or a doctor's office.

I've always had an interest in Labor and Delivery and a degree in nursing would allow me to be part of the process.

Saint Xavier University Online would allow me to get my degree while staying home with the kids. Many times you get to do online work and then for the occassional weekend you would need to do campus work.

It sounds like a perfect match and one that I might seriously look into.

Life's too short to do something that you don't enjoy.

Off for a while.

Things took an awful turn Friday night with Margot's father. her brother was visiting and in the middle of the night we got a call that her dad was unconscious on the floor and not responding. He was taken to the hospital and by Sunday they decided to stop life support.

To say the least...we're all just taking it easy going through stuff and trying to make sense of all of the financial stuff.

Augh.

Fatty.

Okay, this post-pregnancy extra poundage has got to go!

I must admit that I haven't been trying to hard to drop the pounds. I've been eating like it's my last meal and let's not even talk about the whole exercise aspect!

I think I need to find some good diet pills that are all natural. Since I'm nursing I can't do any of the hardcore diet pills that was I on prior to getting pregnant.

Am I employable?

So I must admit with the economy headed towards the shitter I'm somewhat scared of what lies ahead for me in the upcoming year or so when I decided to go back to work part-time.

I haven't quite figured out what I want to do but I might want to stay with teaching and substituting seems to actually be a pretty flexible gig and perfect for doing drop off and pick up at school!

That's just not right...

Every single night I have the worst gas.

I used to have occassional gas but since the baby has been born my body hasn't been the same. To say the least it's affecting everyone.

I've tried cutting out dairy and that hasn't helped in the slightest and so I've gone back on dairy because I miss my milk and cheese so much!

I might think about doing a body cleanse or colon cleanser. I've heard that there can be bacteria in the colon that can cause digestive issues.

Anything's worth a try at this point...

On the go!

I swear lately I've been on the go non-stop.

I had dentist appointments, playgroups, groceries, picking kids up, dropping kids off, and meetings!

I think for my birthday I'm going to ask Margot to take the kids and let me have a day of peace. I'm just going to stay in bed and watch bad television and not be a mama!

Exhausted mama.

Good god I'm friggin' exhausted.

I have given up coffee now for a few days and I can barely function. I almost know what druggies must go through when they detox because I feel useless and spent all of the time!

The good thing...Emmy's been sleeping like a champ and actually been staying asleep through the night.

I know there's light at the end of the tunnel.
