I can't believe February is almost over. This year is already going by quickly. Less than a month and my baby turns one. I guess that's why time is going so quick, I'm really not looking forward to it, and they say that's what makes time go quickly. Though, I'm pretty excited to take her to the zoo for her birthday. I think she'll like it. Especially the elephants. I know mom wants to see the Pandas. Oh, if you couldn't tell, we're going to go to the National Zoo. They have an animal all of us would like to see. And they have a little petting zoo, it's farm animals, but it still counts!
Anyway, my poor baby is sick. She started getting sick Thursday night. Tugging at her ears, fever, sniffling. We thought it was an ear infection. So, I took her to Urgent Care yesterday. They said it was "just a cold" and that her ears are "perfect" so no ear infection. I guess that's a good thing.They gave me information on Upper Respiratory Infection, though, so I'm not really sure. She had a fever again last night, but right now, she seems fine. Maybe a little tired. It should be about nap time for her. She has been up since about 8 AM.
I don't think there is really much else that needs to be mentioned. Oh! I bought her a ball pit. It was supposed to be a birthday present, but she got it early. And, I forgot to mention, we're out of chickens. Sadly, all of them were killed. It's going to be awhile until we get any more. I decided against getting my own. There were other things I could use my money for. Like buying my daughter anything and everything she wants. 

February 21, 2016

My little baby turned 11 months old yesterday. She's getting so big, I really do not like it. What happened to staying my little baby forever? We did finally decide what we're going to do for her birthday, even though my dad thinks it's pointless. But, we're (mom and I) are going to take her to the National Zoo to see the elephants. My mom wants to see the Pandas, so there's that, too. I just want to go to the zoo. I don't care what I see, I like animals.
We went shopping yesterday at Columbia mall, because I got my tax money back. Mia made out the best. She got so many new clothes. Spent about $150 on her and about $100 on myself. A lot less than I had budgeted, which is pretty awesome.
I do still need to go to Target to stock up on diapers and formula. Maybe, I'll get more clothes for me. I need a pair of skinny jeans and boots and more shirts. I didn't get any shirts I could wear to work. I got crop tops and you can't really wear those at work. I mean, I could, with a jacket over it, but that's not what you are supposed to do with crop tops.
Lyndsey gets here today. Yay! We get to have a Mexican date soon. The only time I really go to get tacos is with her. It's like our thing. Though, I do get Taco Bell while she's gone. But, that's not really Mexican food. I'm not entirely sure what it is.

Decision

I've finally made a decision that will effect the rest of my life and Amelia's. Now, I've previously stated that my mom and I will be starting a craft business, this will not effect that at all. It may actually help it out some. So, what's this decision I've made? I am going to start working on opening that animal sanctuary that I've wanted. If you know me, you know how that has been one of my biggest dreams, next to having a child. I've got my child, but not my dream business. There is no better time to work on a dream than now. Like Shia Labeouf said, "Just Do It"

So, I think I'm going to learn about creating a business and everything I need to do this. Thankfully, my mom has a business degree and I'm sure she would love to help. Let's see. I need a business plan, location, name, employees, everything really. Maybe I'll have it up and running within the next five to ten years. I hope so. If you have any advice or anything, please let me know.
