Bethany said I need to write more blogs, so I will!

So, I can not sleep. Mostly because I am exhausted. It makes no sense.These pics are old, but they were on Jason's camera and I forgot about them, so I put them up for fun!

What should I blog about? Let's see. Well, since my normal babysitter is off island until September, I am winging it. I am working from home, getting into the office when I do have the opportunity, and just trusting God that he will bring me through this. I don't have anyone over my shoulder, but still my sales will speak for themselves and then I will have someone to answer to, the owner! Yikes. Nah. Today though my good friend Shannon watched Abby. (She is doing it tomorrow too). It is only a temporary fix, but great! She is SO amazing with Abby. She has a 2 year old little girl, and they play and play all day. They are both pretty relaxed girls, go-with-the-flow. They colored, and snacked, and all took a walk to the coffee shop. Shannon told me today was great! I was a little jealous not being there too. Since I have been with Abs so much, I was sad. She was not sad, she blew kisses and used the little stroller and toys that she adores that we don't have. So, it made it easier for me to go. I got home, Jason had picked her up. I had gotten a ton done at the office, so I came home ready to be with my girl. We played and watered the plants. We read some books and then she said 'Nine-nite'. She walked into her room. She was just ready, ready for bed! I love this abnormal and wonderful baby! Now, 16 months old! STOP GROWING UP! She does not listen though. :)

So, going backwards...Last weekend, the Monte was put to sleep. After 7 long years of service. We drove her all around the country, shipped her to Maui and California and back again. She was a wonderful car, a part of the family. Never had really problems, but the oil leak did her in for good. She only got $1000 for trade in, looked sad, but it had to be done. So, we have a new set of wheels, that I am getting used to. On Saturday we went, traded her in, and got a Mazda CX7. We are Mazda people for sure. I wanted my 3 hatchback again, but they only had one, and they had 0.9% financing on the 7. So, we did it, got the 7. It is beautiful. It's new, shinny, and I don't want to mess it up. So I am super careful. That is the only down side, I have to be more careful than with good ole' Monte. Monte had been through so many bangs, hits, smashes, dings, and lived to tell the story! She always came out like a champ. :( Sad times, but good times too. New memories will be made! I will post a picture of the newbie when I take one. It's silver and black leather on the inside. Sounds fancy, but it came with it. It is actually a 2007, I think that is why it was on special. they had 6 of them, all 2007's that were new.

Anyways, that was that. Mother's day was good. Went to Maui Ocean Center. Abby LOVED it. We took Mahea, our friend and youth-grouper. That made my day. She is a darling, sweet girl. Jason and Abby got me doughnuts, balloon, flowers and kisses. Abby gave me a big wet one. That was my favorite present. :) Jason got me a car, so that was good too.

So, it is midnight now. I think I am getting tired. blogging does kind of relax you. :)

Does anyone really read this??? It feels like I am writing to nobody. Oh well.
