Simply Shauna

Today is by far the hottest day we’ve had so far. So hot that the weather is saying it’s not safe to be outside due to the humidity and UV index. We’ve been staying curled up in my bedroom with the air conditioning on watching cartoons, colouring and snacking on Popsicles, freezies and pudding.

For lunch we had salad and sandwiches, i’m not sure what I m going to do for dinner but I refuse to use the stove today. It will more than likely be something barbecued or take-out (I am trying to avoid the take out though).

With nay luck it will cool down this evening so I can get out for a walk or something. It is supposed to be like this again tomorrow which sucks for the kids who start back to school. Saturday we are expected to get hit with Hirricane Earl, but not as bad as originally forecasted. We are looking at getting high winds and about 50mm of rain. What better time to find out if the leaks were fixed in the basement properly.

Obviously not much is going on today… I am still getting a post ready with Alyssa’s second birthday pictures so check back for that later today!

Today is one of those days where I just want to lay around. I don’t feel as though I have the get up and go to do anything, and quite frankly I am sick of the same old stuff all of the time.

Lately it seems like everything in my life is quite predictable and while that does come in handy at times, it is also nice to have some change or something exciting going on. I don’t really have that at all. Most of my days consist of the same old get up, get breakfast, bathe / dress my daughter, play with her until nap time, get work done during nap time, wake her up, make dinner, etc etc etc.

Financial issues are probably paying a large role in how I am feeling lately as well. Due to my income tax being filed late, a lot of money has been held. I am standing in a wedding next month and have to pay for my dress, shoes, hair makeup…. not to mention all of that for my daughter too (she’s being the flower girl). My bills are mostly past due and my credit cards are taking a good beating … I know things could be worse but it’s just rough at the moment.

I have been doing a lot of sponsored posts / writing articles. Just this week (since Monday) I’ve made $72, however, that is not always the case. Making money online is so unpredictable. I also found out that where I am working part time is no longer going to be offering on site daycare and I may have to quit my job as all the other local daycares claim to be full *sigh*. Again, things could be worse.

As much as I am trying to keep a positive attitude, it’s not always that easy. I feel like my thought process is scattered and I’m not really sure what the best things are to do to deal with some of my life’s issues at the moment.

I apologize for such a scattered post. I just don’t know if I am coming or going…. hopefully it’s just one of those days and I’ll be feeling like myself again tomorrow.

So sorry for the recent downtime and lack of blogging. Apparently the last contest I had held here caused some drama and someone reported my site as offensive to my host almost immediately after I posted the winner. Obviously everything is resolved, as the site is back up. It was just something they had to look into, but I wasn’t breaking any rules so I am back.

I also know who did it, and their IP is now blocked from the website & hopefully we will not experience any more sore losers in future contests to come.

With that said, another big thank you to everyone who had entered and a big congratulations to Shannon! The Mia should be on your doorstep tomorrow!

Shannon

Congratulations Shannon, I will be in contact with you soon.

A big thank you to everyone else who had participated in this contest. It was my first, but definitely not my last. Hope to see you all next time!
