Advert and Garage sales!

Here is a happy housewife right here! Scotchbrite Erase pads/sponges have made cleaning fun for me! I love them! They're a little pricy for the length of time they last, but they pick up grime so easily!! It cuts my cleaning time in half!

We're coming upon the weekend and I was glad to get an early surprise and see there was a large garage sale today! I called up my mom, and we both took off for it. I spent $14.00 and walked out of there with an old, but in great shape heavy-duty hand truck, 2 lawn chairs in GREAT condition, and a Thomas Kincade puzzle for my husband, "Mountain Majesty."

Tomorrow, I'm hitting a few more garage sales, and Saturday is the village-wide garage sale in the town my brother is moving in. Us girls are conspiring to sneak away under the pretense of picking up some pizza and hit a few of the garage sales. ;)

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut!

She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some

I'm sorry, but I just have to gripe...

What is it with this trend of calling women "Miss" and their first name? I really dislike being called "Miss Kate." First of all, I am NOT a "Miss" and secondly, Kate is my familiar nickname. I am very proudly Mrs. Scott. Calling me Mrs. Scott does not make me feel old or detached. On the other hand, "Miss Kate" makes me sound like a child and lowered in societal and respectable standards rather than the married mother that I am. I don't want to be called Miss Kate, nor do I want my children to address adult women in that manner. Which brings up another point; men don't receive that kind of watered down respect. They get addressed properly as Mr. Smith, not Mr. John. Unfortunately, the three greatest offenders are a close friend, my sister-in-law, and my church. My close friend, I allow her daughter to call me Kate. We've known each other for so long and she's growing into a young lady, so I have no problem with the fam
