Wonderful Friends, and a New Home Based Business....

I have always considered myself blessed in the friends and family department. This year is no different. I have a pretty amazing group of friends. Four of my wonderful ladies came to my house to paint the nursery for me; Laurie, Nicki, Erica and Connie. I'll post pics of their beautiful work once I get Laurie's copies :)

I provided the paint and supplies and some snacks, while they did all the work. Now when all of us girls get together or even when just one of us is paired with Laurie it is an EVENT!!!! Always full of laughs, but an EVENT!!! So you can imagine the interesting "girl talk" my husband got to overhear...It was a lot of fun and I appreciate all of them very much.

During the course of our conversations for the afternoon, we covered headstanding, cheese dip to be killed for, drunk texting, Xbox360 and a new way for me to make some money.

Nicki asked me if I was going to breastfeed....I said yes and she told me that it would save me A LOT of money since I could freeze it. She said this a few times to reinforce the idea; which is when Laurie caught on. Laurie however, only heard the words breastfeeding and money...

Out of the mouth of Laurie:
Oh yeah, you can SELL it! To which we all start laughing and Nicki added that people sell placentas too....L, in all her seriousness tells us that she is not kidding and the nurse told her when she had Brittin that people do this. So, we decided that if Justin and I get really hard up for money then I can start my own home-based business and sell my breast milk. I think I'll let the doctors take care of the placenta though. I truly love my friends and Ryan's nursery.

Thank you ladies for a very wonderful and laughter-filled afternoon. I love you dearly!

Selling wasn't an option for me...I could barely get enough out to feed my own children! :) Unlike my friends who just thought of children and milk came flowing like the Promised Land!

I'm pretty sure that selling is not really an option for me either. That just seems weird to me. But leave it to Laurie to even think of the idea. :) I love my friends.
