I've entered into the domain of EBay. EBay why have you forsaken me?
I just keep shaking my head at myself for being so scatter brained about the entire thing. Sunday, I decided I would try to get Madison a pair of Robeez at EBay for her birthday (yes I am cheap). It was really hard to get bids on items that weren't on auto bid by someone else. I pretty much bid on anything I liked and only got a few where my bid was on the board. Little did I know that down in a whole lot of gargen at the bottom of the item info is a list of where they ship to. I am currently trying to sort out a bid I won for an item that can only be shipped to the US! I've emailed them and am waiting for a response. (As I roll my eyes at myself again for being so daft.)
In the meantime, I have, however, managed to win a bid on a pair of new Soft Sole Robeez from a neighbour only a few blocks away. What are the chances? I also picked up a new pair of Robeez - Tredz for less than $30! I am so proud of myself. Even with sales on at the Robeez site they aren't that cheap. I also picked up a pair that I'll keep for next year (they are a 20-24mth size).
In the end; I think I have figured out this whole galoop of this thing called EBay and the ever inspiring Pay Pal.

Nine months old and already a pro-crawler - I can hardly keep up. This week has been a tough one. It began with not sleeping because of teething but by Wednesday she had a cold with a really snotty nose to add to it. I feel like I have had ten hours of sleep since then and could currently sleep for a month. I'm not up so much at night with her a feeding usually around 11pm and then another around 4 or 5 am, but once 5am hits she doesn't want to sleep anymore - yey for me. When I can I take advantage of her naps I do, but the three year old won't take his naps most of the time, and I am only limited to the afternoon ones.
If the weather doesn't kill us, I plan to take her in to get her weighed today. I think she is too big for her rear facing car seat, but I'm not sure if Stirling is ready for a plain old booster yet - he's a skinny little boy, and has become a very picky eater most of the time. I, however, am not a short-order cook and insist he eats what I make him. Don't get me wrong, I don't make him awful stuff to eat like in "No Reservations" - who feeds a kid a fish with its eyes intact - wait a minute - I think my mom did that to me; to this day I cannot eat anything that looks back at me - it's just not right. Come to think of it my mom has made me eat some pretty strange things over the years. Bless her for having us try new things, but somethings are just not meant to be made...ie. coconut soup...ahhh Pam what memories, lol.
