I can't buy anymore stuff...

I haven't posted in a while. My mom has been up in town visiting me, and it has been an eventful week! Monday morning, she fell down my steps, and said she was fine. When we got to school, her ankle was swollen, and we put ice on it. It was really swollen Monday night, so Tuesday morning I took her to the Doc-in-a-Box down the street. They said it's not broken, but she had to keep it wrapped and use crutches. She took one step on the crutches and handed them back to the doctor! The doctor told her to keep her foot elevated and to stay off of it. So, what did we do? We went for pedicures! Then, I needed to pick up some stuff at Wal-mart, so she got to use one of those electric wheelchairs. She only ran into 1 display! (I'm so proud!) Then, Tuesday, we went shopping all day, followed by an all day shopping day Wednesday. Today, she went to work with me, and when I checked my phone after work, there were three voicemails...A water pipe busted in Mom's house (yes...in South Carolina!!. Thank goodness her friend went over to check on the cat! There was about 2 inches of water sitting in the house, so we got to deal with insurance agents and finding someone to come clean up the water. That is all still a mess! Tomorrow, we have an egg hunt at school, and then we are going to Sci-Quest for a field trip. My brother and his family are planning on coming over, and then on Saturday night or Sunday my in-laws might come up. I think I need a nap.

I did find a good deal yesterday...I hope. I went to Tuesday Morning, and I found a Memories to Go scrapbook tote for $30. It has three pieces, and Mom paid for 1/2 for my birthday, so it was really only $15 out of my pocket!

Ok, so I think I am going to have to ban myself from buying anymore stuff...when I add up the $ I spent on clothes, Cricut cartridges, pedicures, haircuts, and more, I think I may be in a little trouble come credit card bill time...

On a happier note, here are some pics!





My beautiful niece and nephew! A quick update. I don't know if you guys remember when my niece was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 3. This is her! She is doing much better! She goes to St. Judes for a check up Tuesday, so pray that everything will still be clear for her!



My new tote.






A lovely pic of my mum.

Rock on to your mum for only running into 1 display. It takes some skill to drive those things.
It looks like you got a deal on the bags.
It goes without saying that you can't wait to see me on Friday.
