2 more sleeps until Disney!
DD has been under the weather the past few days. I thought it was just because she has two teeth coming in, but then she vomited on Thursday night and DH and I had to get up at 4am to clean everything up. Yesterday I had to pick her up from daycare early because she got sick again and was mostly miserable with coughing and a runny nose. I also had a bad stomach ache for most of yesterday plus a runny nose. I was dreading that our entire WDW trip would be spent sick. Well this morning I woke up and felt much better. And DD was in a very good mood with no cough and no runny nose. I am hoping that it was just a quick bug and will be out of our systems completely by Sunday. Fingers crossed.
February went as well as I think could be expected. We went over a bit on groceries which I covered by borrowing forward into March, but since we have a week of no grocery spending this month, it should hopefully even itself out so that we are back to normal. Our state taxes were deposited today. I set that money aside (plus another $180) to pay our Federal taxes, which are scheduled to come out on April 15. I really wish that we didn't owe this year. It is just so frustrating given that we took 0 allowances, but I guess it could have been worse.
The basement is reaching final stages now. DH and I went down this morning and we are so pleased with how things are looking. It is going to be an amazingly functional space! Doors and trim have been completed. They built the elevated stage for the theatre room. We just need the toilet installed in the bathroom and the final work from the electrician. My mom will be coming for a few days the week after we return from our trip to help us with painting. Hoping we can get most, if not all, of the painting done by mid-March. And then we will just be waiting on the stuff for the wet bar. I ordered the wet bar cabinets this week because they were running a 20% sale. I didn't order the counter top because that wasn't on sale. I am hoping to get it at a discount since it costs almost as much as the cabinets. I also ordered an undercounter mini-fridge, microwave and bar faucet. I just need to order the tile for the back splash once I know the cost to install everything, so I can decide if we will go ahead with the fireplace or not. I am so excited that we are nearing the end!
