Found my answer!

baby's trying to get sick and has been sleeping in my arms all day :( so i have been surfing

it's called 'section 103'
cpsia faqs here

is tagging that important?

i have about 15 dresses made. i have my etsy shop up and running with the key chain fobs / wristlets, whatever you'd like to call them. wondering if i need to label my dresses!! with a name label or material label. is it important to the consumer? is it important to uncle sam? i've read a little about codes and such, and wondering if i need to tag them or can i put the information in the description or add a card in with each purchase?

sigh, i hope it is a simple answer. please be a simple answer!!

listless

this is me.
dormant.
motionless.
drifting about as the world turns around me.
so many things happening.
things i cannot control.
just sitting back waiting for the waters to settle,
so i can reevaluate goals, dreams.
trying to become the mother i dreamed i would be.
the mother i want to be.
praying for my little ones.
praying that they are doing more than thriving through this time in our life.
knowing that God promises it will be okay.
that His hand is not short.

school starts back tomorrow

oh how sweet it will be to get back on a schedule!! i crave structure. without it, i can't think straight. oh and this year is going to be a great year. i can see it now. ahhh, but today is the first, and last day, of winter break that i actually have my big girls home with me. so i will say goodbye for now, and until tomorrow.

home at last!!

i can not believe i have been gone for over two weeks!! how great it is to be home. yes, my grandfather passed away on the 7th. quite unexpected. my grandmother is in a nursing home and my biological mother was estranged. but all is well now. i guess, as well as can be. i love dysfunction, don't you? lol

also, a little something that has been going on in my life, my ex had filed for custody. a logical reason my posts for the last month or so have been so blah. a little emotionless. well, we had court monday the 21st. WE WON!! my daughter is soooo relieved. the first thing she asked when i picked her up afterward was who had won. i didn't even think she knew we were headed to court. so perceptive. i wanted to cry when she smiled, sighed and said 'good'.

so i have two weeks with one child. what will i do? i know exactly what i will do. i am going to dump their toy boxes out and clear out all the junk. same with their dressers, and book shelves, and . . . you get the idea.

while i was gone my father got me a camera. well, he got it on his best buy card and i will have to make the payments. it's a bit too much camera for me. we will probably go tomorrow and see what i can do about that. their is a feature i do not like. not sure how to explain it. when taking a pic, the lcd does not show the view. you have to look through the view finder. we'll see what can be done about that. alright, well, i am exhausted. headed to find my pillow, ;) chit chat with you later.

parting is such sorrow

i have been missing, yes i know. my grandfather passed away in the early

morning hours of monday . the baby and i got on earliest flight to arkansas . it has been three whirlwind days. my grandmother is a real trooper. i am so proud of her.

well friends, i am trying to blog using my father'touchpad phone and i'm getting a headache. so ttfn
