Not like I was really getting it all done teaching part-time, so don't be fooled by that. I'm hoping that the increase in income will allow for the hiring of a cleaning person. And I always take it easy on myself for dinner, so I'm afraid if I make it any easier, we'll just eat saltines (and yes, I'll definitely drink!) every night. That's probably borderline neglect ;) Love this post and your next one about birthday parties. We had an at-home party outside for Molly and I had apple sauce and yogurt squeezers for kid snacks and we picked up Krispy Kreme doughnuts for the sweet.

She, meanwhile, is perfectly happy opening a couple presents and getting sung to. I think you're focusing on the right things (caring for your child, family, etc.) vs. all the hoopla of crazy parties. It just isn't about that.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04762736736633080512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514165293919953894.post-48414588877865907842013-09-06T15:42:19.396-04:002013-09-06T15:42:19.396-04:00I need that top coat!

I too am unhappy (unsettled?) in our house but things just keep happening and I'm so frustrated, feeling like we'll never have a second bathroom or a playroom or an office! Molly just asked me the other day why we didn't have a bigger house like some of her friends and it honestly hurt my heart. But, I told her that we didn't need a bigger house because we had each other, and I do really believe that. I just get wrapped up in the "wants" sometimes. Or often. I'm loving the Contentment Challenge and am definitely in need of it at this point in my life!Heidihttp://www.sweetbirdiesnest.comnoreply@blogger.com
