It stinks having to be an adult sometimes...I wanna be a kid again and make irrational decisions and deal with the consequences later. Doesn't that sound like fun? Instead, I have to be level-headed and conscious of the decisions I make..pooie!! We have talked a lot about moving in October...I know, I know...we've put too much work into this place to move and I know, I know we said we would stay here for a few years. Yeah, I've heard all of that already. Eric and I sat down and discussed our best "logical" options. Our lease here is up in October, but we are going to resign until either A. The bank loan for my car is paid off so we can use the extra $500 something a month to put towards a house payment...which means stay around $1500-$1600 a month. That is logical, because we will still be living exactly the way we are now and we will still have all the extra money leftover every month, because the extra $ on the mortgage will just take place of a car payment OR B. Go ahead and stay here for a few years and once my car is paid off we will fully outright own Eric's truck, My Denali and this "rat rod/street rod" that Eric is supposed to be buying in March if he doesn't win the one from the raffle. Eric will take over the denali and I can buy a new denali or tahoe...tahoe is muuuch cheaper. Once, the loan on that is paid off we will get a house and still put that extra $ not being used by a car payment for a house. That is also pretty logical, because I do want a new car, but I REALLY enjoy not having car payments...and that will give us PLENTY of time to see we expand our family. Now, we could just run out there get a new house now...finance a new car once the denali is paid like I thought sounded good without any logic put into it, but our goal is to own everything out right in a decent order...cars are cheapest and quicker than a 30 year home loan so that is where we shall start first. The house we live in now is okay, but man I want my dream kitchen...lol..being an "adult" stinks!! So, I guess we're here for at least another year and a half or so or maybe another 4 years depending on option "a" or "b." I know eventually I will need a new car so it looks like option "b" sounds a bit better for us.
Mom's doctor's visits went really well. She is off the transplant list for at least a year, but it looks like the meds hit the spots on her liver and are controlling them very well. We wll check again in 3 months and continue to every 3 months and see where we go from there....but hey it looks like she may beat the "time" she was given...that's a BIG plus!
Kiddos are still doing great. I'm so anxious for Chase's party on Saturday. His shirt for his birthday came in the mail Saturday and I just about bawled my eyes out. He isn't a little itty bitty teeny weeny baby anymore...he's going to be a big boy toddler now. *Sigh* I had to have some Mommy Time and just soak all of this in...my kids are getting too big...I'm not getting any younger...however, I am getting skinnier (woohoo!!)...the stress of figuring out house/car situations, My Mom, etc...luckily, My Brother is off of my stress radar for now, because he found a job. I also, sat and thought about how lucky I am to have the most amazing man I have ever met in my life to stand next to me and love me every day no matter what. I have 2 smart, beautiful/handsome, loving and thriving kiddos who love me like crazy. I have a brother who some days I wanna strangle, but he loves me and I love him and we're great friends...He would do anything for me and I'd do anything for him....even go plowing through his yard, because some guy is standing outside of his fence...or threaten a process server who was trying to be sneaky, but acting shady...yes, I am just as crazy as he is. I guess all around I am lucky and I truly am VERY happy and have been for some time. I don't think I'd have it any other way!
