Hummmm... What has happened over the last few weeks?? I've had a few cake orders that I wasn't expecting, that is always nice. It seems to happen that way too... Whenever I get a bit discouraged about my business I seem to get interest :D It can be a bit overwhelming being that things didn't go quite according to my schedule... I had planned to work really hard to establish my business this year and then think about having a baby next year... if that was what Matt and I chose to do... We weren't sure if we were having another one. We were very content with the stage that Eli is in and enjoying every second with our boy. Of course we are thrilled to be having another baby, what else could we be?? Being pregnant just kinda turned the blender on high, that's all... Who would have thought that I would EVER have any kind of a career focus?? I have said since high school that I didn't want to be a career woman, I didn't want to go back to school. But here I am, with my own business and loving it!!
This is the cake I did a few weeks ago :D it was Homer Simpson (which thankfully you can tell it is Homer) wrestling with a Power Ranger (the original power rangers) in a WWE ring. Can you guess what the birthday boys favorite things are?? It was a super fun cake to make, but scary as well. I think that is what I love about cake decorating, I have to challenge what I believe I can do almost every time I make a cake. I have 3 more orders this weekend too!! Cupcake for a baby shower, a Birthday Cake and a Cake Tasting! I am super excited to see my business blossoming without having to spend every waking minute on it! This is turning into a perfect business to have a family and be able to make money and love what I do while I do it!! Who knows, maybe one of my kids will join me on it one day!!
What else?? Well I saw my baby move for the first time last Thursday!! It was really exciting, I was sitting at my desk at work and all of a sudden I looked down and there was a lump sticking out of my tummy!! I didn't think I was far enough along to experience that just yet, I was much further before I ever saw Eli move... But ya :D I was super excited to see baby "Sweet Pea" move! (Eli was "Baby Bean" so this one is "Baby Sweet Pea") Then yesterday Chantelle at my work got to feel the baby (who was once again a lump on my tummy). That is one part of pregnancy I can honestly say I enjoy! I love feeling my baby move. I am usually in awe. What an awesome experience to have a baby growing inside of you! And then to see them once they are a few years old running around... To think they started out as a little bean inside your tummy! What a Miracle life is!!
Now onto the meat of this post!! We are all caught up on life I think... I'm sure I've missed important things, but that is what I have come up with to write so far... so that's that... But the organizing bug has bit and I can't get my house organized fast enough!! I think about the way I can move things, or rearrange things, or get rid of things all day right now! Last Saturday Matt and I dropped Eli off at his Nana and Grandpas house so that we could work on the Garage! I was super thrilled to be tackling that job! It has been nagging at me for about 2 months now! So the garage is nearly done now! It is looking awesome! But while Matt worked on the Garage, I tackled the house! I made each room in our house (except the drum/junk room) spotless! They just about sparkled they were soooo clean! Matt came inside and said he was almost uptight with how clean everything was! It was just so nice to finally have my house looking like I always want it to look, even if it was only for a day. But the one thing that I found even more satisfying was the fact that every time I clean a room I am also looking for things that we don't use anymore and it is time to get rid of. Well there wasn't anything, we are currently using everything we have!! I can't stand clutter or "collecting" stuff for the sake of having more stuff. For example, we have 5 blue bins of Christmas decorations and we are determined to keep it at 5 blue bins. So if we buy more, we will get rid of the ones that no longer have any meaning to us. So it was very satisfying to see that our house in the year we have lived here we have not filled it up with a bunch of stuff! I'm sure in a few months I will go through it again and find more stuff to toss or donate, but for now, it feels CLEAN! I do have a few more closets and cupboards to tackle, and hopefully I will tackle those today! That is if I can get rid of this light headedness!! For the past week I have been really dizzy all the time for no reason. For example, right now I am laying down typing this and every time I move my head it swims like I've been drinking on an empty stomach. NOT A GOOD FEELING. Maeg suggested that it could be low blood pressure... maybe, I'll ask my midwife about it at my next appointment. But in the mean time I am going to try and get on with my organizing life hopefully without falling over or walking into any walls!!
