I am Back!

October 3rd, 2006 at 02:48 am

I feel I have been gone so very long.
I guess I was so busy and yet not so busy at the same time. My three girls went to Disney with their dad and his girlfriend and some of my ex's family.
I think the girls had fun. My son stayed home with me as he is not into anything Disney. He would of been bored, unless it was Disney golf every day.

I can not even imagine the VISA bill from this trip. Lots of pricey trinkets came back. They ate dinner with Cinderella ....that is not small change to do that. They stayed at Disney in a Disney hotel. I did make the girlfriend wash all the vacation clothes and re-deliver them to me. Why not? I actually took charge and made a small demand. Hip Hip HORRAY!!

My son and I ate out two nights. I was frankly glad to do it. No sense cooking each night. We enjoyed it alot!

We have worked in the yard and I did indeed trek down to the awful basement. I have cleaned about 90%. I threw out two trash bags of junk and old stupid toys.
Boy did that feel good!

This week I need to watch the groceries a bit. So I will be getting organized with shopping list, coupons and store flyer. I have to get kitty liter and bottled water too.....
Gas here is.....$1.90!!!! I am not kidding. It is wonderful to live here where it is so boring.

I have my fall decorations up....we are getting pumpkins over the weekend.

Well I need help daughter number one with catch up school work.....Have a good week everyone!

    I hear you on the big spender dad! My kids got the same big splash, but they still grew up level-headed, and they still love their poor mom!

    Yes he is a big spender---that is OK. I know I will never be able to out spend him. I am so glad I recognize that. It truly is a blessing to understand this fact. Life is never boring when you are dealing with co-parenting.

    Welcome back! I always enjoy reading your blog.

    Way to go on the being assertive and tackling your basement "dungeon". Its always so nice to get rid of the junk isn't it?

    thanks yummy64!
    Now that fall and winter are on the way...we do tend to play more in the basement. Everything from dress up to Barbies to playing store and school.
    I get more ruthless each time I get rid of junk. I already lived thru my friends nightmare of a house......filled top to bottom with junk! It pretty much ruined all her relationships because she hoarded so much.
    I am not at that point.... I WILL NEVER become like that hopefully.
    It is not worth it! Junk is not worth it....living simply is so much better!

    Taking your kid out will strengthen your relation. After all this is what matters in life: family.
