lot of random bits

I have learned that when I sit down to write I have alot to write about, so bear with me.

VALENTINES DAY IDEA

I have this wonderful idea for a valentines gift and it would only cost me $430 dollars!!

Ha!

Anyway--I want to plan a date night with me and Lucas once every month. AND I want to pre-buy all the things needed, for example, if we are going to eat out, I will go to the restraunt and buy a gift certificate for the restraunt, if we are going to go 4 wheeling, I will put cash for the gas in the gift, that way we aren't stuck doing the same thing because of lack of money--AND I want to make a little slip of paper for each of the following 12 months Feb-Jan 2011, which tells what will be doing that month,--and put them in a muffin tin. Using double stick tape around then edges of the cups, then I will lay a piece of tissue paper of it so it makes a little punch board, so he has to punch the tissue paper to get his next gift. I am not sure how to explain it better....

I actually stole this idea off another website, but the tissue paper idea was TOTALLY..... stolen off another sight....see people think I am creative, but the truth is I just "steal" ideas.

TRUCK ISSUES

I was SO excited because in March--yes TWO MONTHS away--the truck would have been paid for, but INSTEAD, the transmission went out on Lucas yesterday, so while we can still make this months (feb) payment, I am a little worried about Marchs payment, but since the trucking industry is so poor, the people lucas have a lease with are very willing to work with us, SO if we can make it work, we will still pay the truck off in March, we will just have to use a *gasp* credit card to do it. We don't want to do it that way, but it looks like we might!!

He had troubles going down to NM, and could only go about 50 the whole way home, but I am thankful he made it back safely!!

JOB

So I am now really looking at the job available at the library, but finding child care in our area is next to impossible. I have thought about doing child care, but I my house is not "kid friendly" and I want to see what happens with the library first. If that falls through then maybe the child care MIGHT be an option, but I am not sure....Oh I wish when you prayed it was like a big "DING DING DING" when you pray about the right thing to do.

PLAYROOM

I have been working on the playroom upstairs and having a lot of fun, I am a little worried with the finances being tight that I won't be able to finish it now....looks like I will have to be creative. I decided to repaint one of the green walls yellow and I will hopefully finish that today. then I have to buy Floor glue--(I have no idea what exactly I need, so I will do some research first), install the floor, and then put some Christmas lights up intill we find a more perminate lighting idea. Then Luacs needs to make me the furniture and then the toys can be moved in!! I was hoping to finish all that I could do this week, but plans always change---so we will see.

SONG WRITING

Lucas has written about 5 songs lately and I love them!! Personally I think he is very talented, and I have heard Sedona singing them around the house. I got a book at the library about the songwriters market, so I really want to look into that and see if Lucas has the luck we are always talking about and get him to break into song writing---wouldn't that be totally cool?


I would post pictures, but alas---I can't find the battery charger--the camera is safe and sound-but the charger is on my to do list today--I know it is in a drawer somewhere---I just have to remember which one :)
