I haven't written in a while and I need to so here I am! I found a little girl to babysit and make some extra money. Her name is Amara and she is really sweet. I don't mind watching her at all except for those times when I just don't want the added responsibility but 95% of the time, she's just fine.

Today is Morgan's birthday. I can't believe my baby is 5! Where did those years go? He keeps saying this morning that he is 5 now and can do whatever he wants or now that he's five, he doesn't eat breakfast anymore! We are gonna give him some little presents tonight but his big gift was Saturday. Mom, Dad and Bri came over and we went and got him a swing set. Dad and Chad put it together and it looks great in the backyard. Morgan kept thanking Mom for it. It makes me happy that he is so appreciative.

I need to figure out some way to find one more kid to babysit. Amara is just part time right now and I need at least one full time kid if we aren't gonna struggle for money. And I'm just really tired of struggling. I don't mind scrimping and pinching but I hate the panic attacks at midnight when I can't sleep. I also seriously need to get back into the mind set that $20 here and there REALLY adds up! We've basically been able to spend whatever we want and we just can't do that anymore. Plus all the dr bills from Matthew's finger. Which looks so wonderful, I might add. I'm so totally impressed, thrilled, excited, etc that his finger is going to look totally normal. We are truly blessed. He is standing beside me right now looking through the sheer curtains and slapping my arm and then just giggling like a maniac. He got into some kind of bug the other day and got eaten up. His leg looks like a red dot to dot.
