Things have just been going lately. I'm adapting to work, money is going decently, and we're falling into the rhythm of summertime. We're making an effort to get outside every day, and I've lost all my baby weight plus 2 pounds!
Lilah rolled over from back to front for the first time two days ago. She did it almost instantly, and was successful except for her arm that was stuck under her. She yelled and struggled, but I didn't let Dano intervene, even when she was pathetically complaining. After almost 10 minutes, she freed herself, then dropped all her flailing limbs to her side limply. I worried that she had killed herself or something, so I looked closer to see if she was breathing. She had exerted herself to the point of exhaustion and had fallen asleep! I left for a meeting, and Dano said she didn't wake up for 3 hours!
We had a mini-miracle the other day. We were doing great on money, and after all bills were paid, would have a little over a hundred dollars leftover when all the bill checks cleared the bank. I was overjoyed. I went to bed happy and non-stressed. The next morning, an extra 103.00 had randomly been taken! I scrambled to find out what had happened. Somehow, my student loan payment had been taken out twice. I had authorized it, but had mistakenly authorized it twice. I started to do what I do best - I went into my money-freak out mode. I was agonizing over what to do. We would be overdrawn by 5 dollars. I would rather have at least been overdrawn by a respectable amount. I worried most about being overdrawn because if it looks like I make a habit of it, they can take my nursing license away for fraud, so I make painstakingly sure never to be overdrawn. I was still worrying when I checked my email. Miracle of miracles, a week after my eBay auction for an old watch I had ended without selling, someone emailed me wanting to buy it for 50 dollars! God completely came through. After that, Dano and I had a talk and have agreed to change our mindsets and be much more positive. We've made a vow that for every negative thought we vocalize, we will vocalize a positive thought as well. So far, it's worked great. We want to have a happy, positive family, We'll see how it goes.
