Random mumbo jumbo

(468x60.php)

I am laying here in bed at 6:30am with lil Max-e-poo.  He just got done eating and is just laying around.  I can’t decide if I should go back to sleep or stay awake.  A lot of things are going through my head so I am not sure I could fall asleep even if I wanted to.

I have several things to do over the next 3 days before we leave.  Just basic cleaning, packing and organizing.   I want the house in order while we are gone, I don’t want to come home to a messy house.

Packing for 6, will I guess 5 because Nicki will pack her own bag.  But trying to get all of us in the truck and all our crap, that will be interesting.

As of 10pm on Sunday I will officially be on vacation, do I continue to count calories?   Do I worry about that while I’m away?  Now I am not saying stuff my face every chance I get but do I really need to worry about it?  We plan on going to the gym as much as possible while we are in IL.  The gym we go to has one right down the street from my mom.  I don’t know, I mean I am going to be eating out a couple times, eating at a BBQ and having a dinner at my Aunts.  As long as I don’t pig out, that is all I can do.  I can’t go and read all the labels and try and figure out calories.

Ahh the infamous money!  I am starting to feel a bit stressed.  I am trying to get my business up and running online but it seems to be taking forever.  I have only had 2 sales at Artfuldelight.com.  Most of the stuff I am selling is through eBay.  As much as I love the traffic I am getting through eBay, it is expensive to sell stuff on there.  You have the listing fee which is only $0.20 and then the cost once it sells, it’s a percentage of the item you sold.  Then paypal seems to charge some sort of fee and then the monthly “eBay store” fee.  Sometimes I wonder if I am making any money at all.  I mean even if I break even, that should be good.  Draw traffic to my online store the best I can.  And to top all the money stress, I have to pay some fines that my ex from 10 yrs ago racked up on my IL DL.  It totals $1500.  I cringe every time I see that number and think about it.  The jerk-off ran through the toll booths without paying.  So for $20 worth of non-paid tolls, I got $1550 in fines.  I called the agency that is holding my file and they were able to drop it to $1100 but that is still ridiculously high.  I need to get it paid by Sept because that is when my license expires and I need to renew.  Since my IL DL is suspended because of it I have to get it paid.  Ok I am going to stop now, I am making myself sick thinking about it.

A little bit about my family:
I am a SAHM of 4 wonderful children and I have the most amazing boyfriend! I am trying to get my online business up and running. Paper crafts and scrapbooking is what I love to do in my free time (when I get some, 4 kids keep me busy) and to try and turn my hobby into a way to make money so I can stay home with my kids that would be wonderful. If you are in to paper crafting and scrapbooking or know someone that is please check out my online store: Artfuldelight.com. Nicki, Tony, Isabel and Max are the joy in my life, I love being home with them but sometimes money can be tight. Hopefully I can have some success with this store.
