Everyone is growing up around here

Everyone around here is getting older. Emma celebrated 6 years of life. James will be 4 in May. Don't tell him that though, he REALLY wants to be 5. Something to be said about ridding the school bus. Kevin will be taking his drivers test in a couple of weeks. They all make me so proud. lol....

Life is going to be so different around here with two legal drivers. Kevin will be able to transport the children around. THis has been a real obstacle for all of us. He can also drive when we go out on dates. Sorta sucks that he doesn't drink, but I do occassionally. He can't be the DD when we go out, b/c the law does not allow him to do so.

Be even better when his DWI debt is paid off. Don't get me wrong, I am not on a pitty pot right now. EVerything is just happening all at once and it is like WOW a fun reality is about to hit.

We will have the car we bought from my brother paid off soon. THat is soooo exciting. It will be totally amazing what we can do when we don't have to save so much for daycare. WHew. THe 08-09 school year will be the last of the major DC expenses. Then the kids will just be $25 a week per kid for morning pick up for the bus. They will both take the bus home from school.

I do have a long term plan for what to do with all of that freed up DC money. This year we pay for a car for Kevin. Next year we get a deck. The following year, I have plastic surgery (ask for details if you want--I won't post it online), and then Disney. The deck and the surgery may be switched, we will see. It will happen before I am 40 though. (the surgery, that is.)

My job is GREAT. I got renewed for another year with Northwest R1 school district in House Springs Mo. I LOVE it. I could not have asked for a better job.

Not much else going on around here. I will have more free time in the future. I am giving up the girl scout leader thing. I want to be there when BOTH of the kids are involved in activities. And I do enjoy picking up shifts at Weight Watchers.
