E is getting a new cover for her carseat in my vehcile! I can't wait to get it. I found it for sale on the car-seat.org swap forum. I would have ordered it long ago from Graco but the print is a Walmart exclusive so Graco can't guarantee that print will be shipped; it even said substitutions may happen. I didn't want any other print. I wanted this specific one! And now I am getting it! So excited. E will be pretty happy too. It's a surprise.
She's done great with the potty training, but I like having an extra cover just in case something happens. I can't believe we've made it this long without an extra cover. I've had to clean the seat cover twice, but this will give me more time to get that done if it happens again. Just thought I would share my excitement!

Fed Up and Irritated!
***DISCLAIMER: This is a vent, a long one, so whoever wants to comiserate with me, please read.***
I am just fed up and irritated with so many things in my life. Sadly they are just minor petty things but they have been adding up and going on for so long that it is driving me crazy.
I can't wait for summer to be here and school to be out. J will be going to Virginia (Yes, she moved again!) to visit her mom, and I will be free of her attitude and demands for 5 weeks - the most peaceful happy weeks of the year! She has mommy issues which get taken out on me. I can't tell her to do anything without getting whining, snotty, bitchy attitude back. She can't stand living with her mom, but doesn't see the difference in what she has here vs. what she has/would have down there.
We have been hounding her for the last 6 weeks to get her grades up and refocus in school. Finally her grade in language arts dropped to an F, and she got grounded immediately. Lost her phone and the internet at home for 2 weeks. Well somehow in three days after talking with her teachers and getting some extra credit and retaking some tests, she has brought her grades up to Cs and above - in three days. Says she likes how it feels to be bringing her grades up. We have been telling her every week, every week, what her grades were and asking about certain assignments that she did poorly on. But take away her phone and internet and suddenly she isn't failing anymore. She just doesn't see the connection.

Giveaway Time!
Free Set of Kristen’s Raw Ebooks:
http://kristensraw.com/blog/2011/04/11/free-set-of-kristens-raw-ebooks-giveaway-time/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+KristensRaw+%28Kristen%27s+Raw%29&utm_content=Yahoo%21+Mail#
I am spreading the word on this wonderful giveaway for an additional entry to win the set of Kristen's Raw Ebooks.
I am looking into all ways to eat better and be healthier, and I keep coming back to vegetarian/vegan/raw lifestyles. Now when I say raw I do not mean RAW, as in raw meat, etc. In this case raw means fruits and veggies and not processing/cooking foods over 115* in temp. This helps to ensure that all the nutrients/enzymes are still active and haven't been destroyed in the cooking process.
