Take a moment to breathe!

This week we have 2 basketball games, 2 basketball practices, 2 nights at TKD, a dentist appt, one trip to Mahoney's Activity Center, one trip to KC for the Monster Trucks, one PTA meeting, buy a washer, have one store pick a washer and then have another store drop off the one we bought, band, bells, cookie day at school, volunteer in Jonathan's classroom, volunteer in library, lunch with a friend and her daughter, a class to take online, and work/school! So I will have to take a moment to breathe when I can and enjoy the times that I have to do that. It will be great watching my children in their activities and to hear what they have to say to things. I love our life and how much fun we have in it. It is a good thing they have three days off of school next week though so we can veg for a few days!

Washer story: So after a wonderful PTA meeting last night we had the babysitter so we decided to fit in a trip to Nebraska Furniture Mart to get a washing machine because no one else has the one we decided on for cheaper. When we get there I decide that I will take my time since this would happen to be our date night, Pat and I could talk while we are looking, right? We had a good time looking at everything and then moved on to the reason we were there. I didn't want an expensive on but Pat said that he wanted this one so we go over to spend $750 plus tax, delivery, and whatever else they tack on. We notice a flyer on the dryer that says if you buy both you get them for $999.98. So essentially I am paying $150 for a dryer, I don't need one but I will at some point, right? So yeah, we got suckered into the deal and now we are having a washer and dryer delivered tomorrow. YEAH! I am not sure that this was the right decision but was a great deal. Now I get to try and sell my perfectly good dryer to someone on Craig's List!
