After a long night of taking care of a sick fussy baby, finally around six o'clock Gabby's fever broke. After some "BA BA" and cereal she was ready to sit in her seat and watch some Sponge Bob. Yes, I let my child watch Sponge Bob. That is the only thing I can get her to be still while I do some things around the house. It has absolutely NO educational value but when that crazy sponge comes on she just starts cackling. I have tried to get her to watch her Baby Einstein movies but nothing beats that sponge. This picture is of her watching the show. I know what you are thinking, "Ronna, your child's clothes are filthy!" But see, I knew there was no point in changing them just yet. She has started a morning routine: Eat, watch Sponge Bob, then poop. I really wanted my child to be on a routine, but I was thinking more along the lines of a sleep routine. Once Sponge Bob is done she is ready to get up and get changed.

After the routine we headed to the square to meet Nana "D", my mom, for lunch and shopping. Kid's World was having their half off sale and Nana hooked Gabby up with some dresses for next year. I really enjoyed just walking around and talking.

After the square, I thought I would go home and get some house work done, but Nick wanted to go look at cars. We have been really looking the last month or so for a vehicle for me. I really hated to get something different since mine was almost paid for, but my SUV was getting around thirteen, yes I said THIRTEEN city miles to the gallon. We ended up getting a new vehicle. During the whole process I felt like I had Dave Ramsey on one shoulder and Lori Vining on the other telling me, "This is not part of the FPU plan". But, I really needed something more reliable. Even though I just work two nights a week and it is only a mile to work, I feel like I never get to go anywhere because of the gas prices. I hope I didn't let Lori down too much!
