With a new baby in the home and with me deciding to quit work to raise her, money has been a little tight in our household.  Because of this, I have been searching the internet for new recipes that are cheap and easy yet tasty.  I found this chicken recipe that I decided to try out.  Now normally I am uneasy cooking new foods; I am always afraid it is going to turn out poorly.  This recipe turned out to be a winner.  My husband loved it.  Along with the baked chicken we had roasted red potatoes and salad.  I was so proud of myself.

Last summer I was working at PetSmart so, besides working, my husband and I did not do much.  Unfortunately, being a manager at a retail store does not allow for much vacation time and you do not even get weekends off.  We did get to go see our families a few times since both of our parents live within easy driving distance.  We also hung out with friends a lot.  Our small group from church meets once a week and my husband has a lot of friends from college that live around us so the nights I did have off were spent hanging out with them.  Towards the end of the summer, my husband and I decided to buy a house so we spent at least three evenings a week driving around with our agent trying to find the perfect house.

I am a stay at home mom so today I primarily took care of my three month old daughter.  We played on the floor for a while before her nap.  She is learning how to roll over and grasp items in her hand so it is fun just to sit and watch her.  While she was napping, I cleaned the kitchen, did some laundry, and painted a door.  After her nap, we went to a couple different stores to run some errands.  I returned some clothes I had bought the previous week and went to the pet store for a reptile heating light.  We then came back and she had her second nap.

I am in the office today, working on some interesting topics regarding high school sports, especially football. I was extremely busy this morning, but I finally found some wind down time during lunch. During my lunch break I ate a quick sandwich and decided to take some personal time to surf the internet and do some writing. I called my boyfriend and we discussed our plans for the weekend. Today has been okay so far, nothing very interesting is going on, although I have already eaten about 12 pieces of candy. Here come the cavities! Oh well, hopefully they won’t be too bad.
