And That’s….the Truth

I’m really hoping that when I retire (yes, I do plan on going back to work at some point), I will be able to afford a second home that could be used as a summer home. I would love to have a separate place where it’s warmer for the entire family to be able to get together during the summer months. I realize that when kids get older they usually go their own separate ways, and I think having a second home would encourage them to stay closer to one another and their parents. Right now this is just a pipe dream, but you never know what the future may hold and maybe this dream just may come true.

I knew it was coming, but I didn’t really realize what kind of mess I would be facing when this work started to happen.  Yes, I am talking about my home office.  Finally after months of bothering my husband, we are putting down the hardwood floors in my home office.  For the past couple of months I have been able to work in there, but I have to tell you that the room looks really bad with just boards sitting on the floor.  Well all that is going to change today.  I’m going to have pretty hardwood floors in my room now.  Maybe now I will feel comfortable leaving the door open and will want visitors to see my home work space.

So because this event is FINALLY going to take place, I will not complain about the mess that I have to clean up and I will be cleaning up this mess with a smile plastered on my face.

Although I’ve been quite active on the Internet for the past couple of years, I am still learning all the ins and outs of the Internet and computer world. This is why it would be quite helpful for me to utilize the services of an IT consulting company. By employing these services, I could get all the help and direction I need right from my home. This company would come directly to my home and help me with any problems that I may be experiencing right in front of my eyes. This way if some of the same similar problems arise, I would have already watched them to see how I could fix it. Although I am only one person working from home, I can see how a company like this would be a major asset to any business as well.

Well today my husband and I went couch shopping.  It has been quite a few years since we purchased a new couch and there was a major reason why we never purchased one for a very long time.  We had a cat and with his claws, he pretty much ruined everything he touched.  Well now that he is not here anymore we decided that we should probably make this investment.

So today we went to several different stores looking for the perfect couch.  We only found one problem and that was that we couldn’t agree on the one to buy.  He liked one couch, which is a sectional, and I liked another that was a couch and chair.  So we didn’t end up buying anything and decided to wait on it for a few days to see if we can come up with something that will please us both.  But hopefully by the end of the week we will be able to agree on something and I’ll be able to report that we actually bought a new couch.

I really do love my little monkey’s, but I really wish they would work with me a little more when I am trying to get a good picture out of them! As you can see by this picture, they really enjoy hamming it up for the camera and no amount of me saying “stop that!” would get them to behave. But, you know what, this is exactly how my kids are. They are a lively bunch and they don’t take life all that seriously. Even when I want them too. I love them to death, but one of these days I am going to get a good picture of them and then look out! LOL

Life just isn’t going good these days.  Over the weekend we were without power for a few hours and we wake up today with no hot water.  We have warm, but no hot.  That makes it a little difficult for us to have showers and wash dishes. (it does give me an excuse not to do dishes LOL).  But with two kids in school and my husband going to work we really need this hot water so they can get clean.  The earliest the repair man can come out is tomorrow morning so I guess we have no choice but to sit back and wait.  Hopefully he comes in the morning like he suppose to so I don’t have to sit around and wait all day tomorrow as well.

Oh well, there’s nothing I can do about it now so I’ll just sit back and wait “patiently”.
