Fun Stuff!

Yesterday, Abby and I were extremely bored so I decided to dress her up and take pictures! :) It's so cute! I love it! I tried the best I could to fix her tutu (it was my first time making one!) but she kept trying to grab on it! Lol! That's my baby! Mommy loves dressing her little one up <3 Her onsie says "This is my little black dress". So cute!

My poor baby girl started breaking out real bad. All on the back of her legs, her arms, some on her tummy, and her neck/face. We're taking her to the doctor tomorrow to see what's going on. I tried putting Aquaphor on and it only worked for a bit. Then we tried some baby eczema cream. We just started today but I wanted to make sure it wasn't anything serious (like an allergic reaction). I think it's from the Aveeno baby wash she started using. I started some on her last week because that's all I ever hear mommy's using on their LOs, and they also said Johnson and Johnson sucks. But in my case, its the opposite. My poor baby...I didn't notice anything until after I used the Aveeno baby wash on her. Her cheeks are dry and rosy red from it. I thought I would love Aveeno because I love their lotions but I hate the smell (its lightly scented also) and it seems like it doesn't work well with her.

Anyway, last week I ordered some things to make homemade liquid hand soap! Liquid hand soap is the number one used item in this house. I am such a neat/clean freak! All my friends make fun of me for constantly cleaning after myself right away. Lol! I try my best to keep my house and other places cleaned. By all means I am NOT perfect at cleaning but I try! Anyway, my stuff came in today and I decided to try it out with some Ivory soap bars that I got for free with coupons back when I was preggers. =) Loves it!

Here are the results! Homemade liquid hand soap! I love it so much! I just put it in my soap dispensers and it works GREAT! It yields one huge liquid hand soap refill bottle which costs 4-5 bucks at the store. I only spent 2 bucks on the ingredients because I got the Ivory soap for free as stated! Yay! I don't really like the smell of Ivory soap so I decided to just use it up. Such a great idea! We only use Dove when we shower so using up the Ivory bars was a great idea!

I just woke up from my nap and my S/O and DD are asleep. My dog Dash and I are out here in the living room watching Teen Mom. I made some chicken quesidillas for dinner tonight. Yummy! I am so full right now. I think I'll be wide awake for quite a bit. I need to go to sleep no later than 2am because Abigail's appointment is at 9:15am tomorrow. Too bad my S/O only took a half day! It's mommy matinee tomorrow and I really wanted to go but the movie playing doesn't sound so good.

I need to start having some fun but I can't fathom the thought of leaving my LO with ANYONE. My family want's to watch/baby sit her SO BAD. They always tell DH and I that we need to drop Abby off and just go out even if its just to the movies or something. I can't do it. It's sad that my LO is about to be 4 months old and I haven't left her at all. Lol, well besides leaving her with DH to go to the store or something. But I know when school starts, I have NO choice what so ever. I am going to take full time classes and that's a handful in itself. Finding someone to watch my LO while I'm taking my classes is a must. =( I just have to accept it.

Talking about classes, I have to get my books before it runs out. It's almost August and people usually wait last minute. I'm glad I didn't wait last minute to pick my schedule because the good ones are always taken up so quickly! I also have to talk to the counselor about transferring. I am finally gonna transfer to a University after 3-4 years. I am SO embarrassed and ashamed of myself for taking so long to get my Associates while my classmates have already graduated with their Bachelor's this year. =( I feel like a failure. But as long as I'm trying, I don't think I should be negative about it. At least I'm getting both of my Associates (Science and Arts in Teaching) and if I decide to not pursue my career in being a Kindergarten Teacher then I can always have my Associates of Science to fall back on and continue to do something else that I love. It takes time...right now I am stuck between two Universities I want to go to. I just want to go to the best one possible so that I know I did the best I could as a student. I am so blessed that DH helps me out so much and offered me to be a SAHM and let me go to school. =) Now I have to tackle getting some books. Those things cost an arm and a leg!!

Anyway, G'night all! I have some research to do and books to look up. AND some Teen Mom to catch up on! xoxo
