I think we will still have netflix for movies, really the biggest drag is that DD wont be able to watch her shows on PBS in the morning, Im hoping this will help her want to read/listen to more books and help our bond both for DH and me and DD and me. Im not a tv person at all- unless Im sick.
Exactly- I mowed all last year because he was always too tired on the weekends. But with a new baby I knew I wouldnt be able to this summer so I hired them and put them on a schedule. His suggestion is that he can do it and it doesnt have to look all prim and proper anyway" THOSE comments are what send me through the roof. Man! Take pride in your home! Or cancelling my monthly cleaning service- he's not jumping to help, he has always been lazy like this and he can walk into a cluttered room and put his feet up and ignore it. So i know the lion's share will fall to me. I want to be proud of my home, but its hard with a little baby and DD- but I know I can find a way. If we didnt have all the pets it wouldnt feel so dirty, but Im going to create a chore chart to keep me on track, and assign some simple tasks to DH. I dont think he really knows how to clean and refuses to make much effort in doing things correctly. WARNING to parents who dont include their kids in making their bed or helping out- they grow up they are NOT fun to live with LOL. Lucky I love him so much.
and this is the very reason I rarely post photos of me hee hee, well you can see me on FB. But I like your Aunt's adage. To me, you look like a happy family at WDW, and that really is the priority in it all, isn't it. Will you look back and say your weight or hairdo or color of your shorts affected your trip? No, but I bet you remember lots of other great things. I thought they were great family trips.
Im looking forward to hearing and seeing how our cutting back really helps the bottom line!
I think your key item will be what you use for padding, you will need more than quilt batting, and I might consider an apolstry type fabric- strong and tougher than cotton.
Oooh, wow, thats not nice, Id have flipped out on that-but really the tv is more DH sacrifice despite that he is only here evenings and weekends- he has a tv addiction problem. I hope your DH talks to you most of the time, lol, I mean, what if your car disappeared or something. Men crack me up.
Yup, this is a 6 month thing, and then we will reevaluate. I actually think I will not want tv back then! LOL. And I agree totally worth it in the long run. I think its good to be doing this while our kids are little and DD will get over it and she still has her movies if I really need to put the tv on.
I told Dh I thought God wanted us to get to this point because it was the only way we would get rid of the tv, and it will force DH to get better sleep, and have better quality time. I hope. He still has his iphone (company paid) and laptop. I see so much opportunity for more of good stuff, and less of non essentials and it will give us a better appreciation of what we have.
On a seperate note..............
DD3 woke up sick today. Throwing up whatever she consumes- water, etc. So she is laying on floor and not doing much, cat is sleeping next to her. She had a freeze pop and threw it up. But they said give her something once and hour and Ill pray Hannah doesnt get sick.
I so appreciate everyones support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really!
I forget who said it- but amex gift cards would be great- so I can buy fabric anywhere-online, etc. but Christmas is a long way from now and my family doesnt like giving money-or gift cards, so I dont know if Ill get them, but it cant hurt to ask!
Our anniversary is the 23rd, maybe I should suggest that as my present- if he does anything. But I might be okay without fabric for a while, I do have a decent amount right now.
I sure hope you're all not hysterically laughing at me...
...thanks again...Barb
Of course, the repair shop is closed on Mondays, so I am not sure if it will be faster to go that route or to take a week or two to send it back and exchange it. I am so bummed! I didn't even get to use it! I worked on finishing up a stripwork jumper for Molly last night, but still need to serge the seams before I can call it done.
