Other people's blogs

Today, a friend sent me a link to read some random person's blog...and I found myself really enjoying it. And then I remembered, I have a blog myself?!? So...attempt #1,000 to update semi regularly this blog. (; Wish me luck!
I must start with the present...and go to the past if time allows.
This week has been super busy for Aaron and myself. Aaron is teaching summer school for the first time and running the high school's vball camp in the afternoon. Talk about long days and then I've had him out and about after those hours. Monday, he joined me at the Kids Exchange to help me put out all our stuff. It took both of us 1 hour & 20 minutes. I treated him to some Bojangles for his help! Then yesterday, he left camp 30 minutes early to shop with me as a super worker for the sale. If you are unfamiliar with the Kids Exchange, you've got to check it out! It's so overwhelming, and fun and full of great deals! We found Cameron a play kitchen for Christmas and some plates and such to go along with it. I wasn't "sold" on the kitchen but it was a great deal and I knew I could resell for more if I found something I liked better. I was excited about the cute shoes I found for Cameron and I always love finding cheap sperrys for Carter. The 4T boys section was tough with stuff I didn't like or prices I didn't like but I went through the entire section. My method of shopping is if I think I like it, through it in the wagon and inspect it later while you rest! ;) Then I had to attack the 18, 24m & 2t girls sections. Mommas of girls are proud of their used clothes! I think some people forget this is a consignment sale. (: I say all that to say that I shopped for 7 hours & 45 minutes. We got in line at 10:45pm, after I entered the building at 3pm. Crazy--I KNOW! :) We scored a $20 carseat for my parents for Cameron, Dulpo legos, Patsy Aiken dresses, Gymboree outfits, State polos & hoodies just to name a few fun finds. We were also on a mission to find a list of things for some friends and were successful for them as well. So after waiting 45 minutes to check out, we left the building at 11:30pm...all the while Cameron was wide awake at my parent's house (but happy) and Carter was running a fever and later through up before we headed home. Yesterday was a very long but FUN day! I love good deals! :)
I work tomorrow as a scanner. I'll let you know how that goes.
Now off to dinner at a friend's house! :)
