....but I promised to update daily.
We had a great time yesterday. It was nice just to spend family time together. I got some stuff accomplished in the yard, although not as much as I would have liked. But we were busy, so I guess that's ok.
I have a lot to get done this weekend. Randy and I are both working today, and he doesn't get off until tomorrow morning. Once I get done, I have to get Wyatt, then I think I will try to get some planting done. I really want to get a lot done in the yard this Spring. We are going to have a yearly project, and this year it's the yard. It may take us all Spring/Summer to complete what we want. And, of course, it will be an ongoing thing, but I want to at least get all the stuff established. There's a lot that needs to be mowed down too. I have a whole year to get this done, right? Next year, I think, will be egg hens.
With the taxes being how they are, we've decided to keep a mortgage on our house. Well, a home equity loan. It really made a difference! We've also decided that, beyond that, only one other debt. So, the next thing we will do is put in central air. Once that's paid off, we are going to get a camper. With both of us on shift work, there is just such a huge opportunity for us to go away for a day or two, and what better way than with the comforts of home?
Forgive me, but I must figure out my to do list, or it will never get done. So, you, my beauties, get to see all that I will get done this weekend: Finish (including putting away!!!) the laundry, clean up the yard, mow the stip where our driveway is supposed to be, move some plants around, plant other plants, clean up what they didn't take away for trash, hang pictures (I mean, we've been living there how long???) clean bathrooms, shampoo living room floor, organize bills, organize office, pick up stuff that's ready at Color Me Mine, return something to Kohls, order decals for my truck...aaaand...I think that's it. Coffee anyone? I may sleep in there somewhere. ANd, of course, church in the morning.
Now that I've tired myself out, I need to go pretend to do some work. And convince myself that I really don't want to cut my hair. Well, I do, but I need to convince myself that I shouldn't.
Does the mortgage really make sense? I examined it when interest rates were a bit higher and I would have paid more in interest than I saved in taxes. Just wondering...
