Anyways...I wish I could say I was one step closer to having a decision about whether or not I am going back to school. Sadly, I am not. The thing is, the logical part of me says I need to go back and finish what I started. Make sure I have my education done so that I am set up to get a job. That is the logical part of me. Unfortunately logic doesn't always prevail when the heart says something else. And of course, my heart is telling me to stay home and enjoy every day with my beautiful bundle of joy. I know this may not make any sense to some people (and to be honest, it has taken me by surprise too), but I just feel as though I would rather regret not going back to school to finish my education than regret not staying home with my daughter. The ultimate solution would be to not regret my decision at all. I am just not so sure that will happen.
Well, the start of garage sale season is officially here - although it doesn't exactly feel like it in MN. I went to a garage sale last night and got a Louis Vuitton handbag for $20! I can't believe how much of a steal it was! I am really pumped about it, obviously! The funny thing about it right now is I hardly ever bring a purse with me anymore because it is too hard to carry a purse AND the diaper bag. Cute.... I went to the Just Between Friends sale in Elk River this afternoon. I got some great shoes for Bean (just what she needs, right?)! I got 2 pairs of Robeez ($4.00 each - Retail $28.00), a pair of NB Crocs ($2.00), some baby spoons and a Boon baby food dispensing spoon ($1.00 - retail $8.00), and some travel snack containers. All in all, I thought I did pretty good. There wasn't nearly as much stuff at this sale as there was at the sale in Maple Grove last season, and frankly, the prices were a little high. There wasn't much I needed though, so I wasn't too disappointed. Then we went to another garage sale this evening and I picked up a pair of Baby Gap shorts, Baby Gap shoes, a Baby Gap one-piece outfit and an Aero sweatshirt (for me) - all for $7.00. I'd say it was a pretty successful couple of sales. I have a few more sales saved on my email that I am contemplating going to tomorrow, since it will be so nice outside. Then again, I am guessing DH would appreciate it if I stopped shopping.
Bean in her Bumbo:
LOL i love that pic of bean!! She so cute. Garage sale shopping was wonderful - tis the season, and i'm so excited! I don't think you're completely crazy. I don't blame you for not wanting to leave your little girl... but at the same time you worked so hard to get to your final days of dentistry - part of me thinks you should just go for it and spend as much time with bean outside of school. Gosh, I just don't know. I can certainly feel your pain, that is one tough decision. I'll keep praying for ya :)
