The 1st Birthday event goes on! I am in the last stages of purchasing for Emily's party/cook out. I am now worried, after seeing the family's last event pictures from in Youngstown. I am noticing how well off much of the family is compared to myself and I am worried (to myself) that I will not be able to compare to everyone. I am not making this a competition or challenge in any way, nor do I care that I am not as affluent as they are. I know where I am in my life is 100x better than where I was 7 years ago! Not forgetting that I have found the happiness in my life now. I only think to myself when they see my home, they don't see it for the happiness it has with in. Happiness is not found with in what money can produce.
So I have to purchase hay bales yet, a couple grocery items and I still have to order Emily's cake. I am now thinking since I am making cup cake ice-cream cones I can/will order a smaller birthday cake; not only saving money but making more sense.
Today, in the heat that this day produced my mother in law, both my daughters, Anna and myself trekked to our favorite salvage stores to stock up for the party and our homes. I got some fantastic deals and even managed to hit a couple garage sales as well.
Now I am scrambling to make some sort of dinner (at 7:00 PM) which I really have no hunger for. So dang difficult when you are not hungry! Making some sort of concoction with chicken, because that is the only thing I have thawed...
And the baby cries.....
