Tidbits

Our life is going a million miles a minute right now; and we would love for it to slow down.

This kind of pace is not kind to our budget.

This past week, we didn't get home until 8:45 (at the earliest) every night. Weeks like that are hard to plan for. We ended up eating dinner out more than we would have liked. We are all exhausted and the laundry is piling up on the sofa. We had one kids with late baseball games, one kid with late dance nights, open-house at The Kids' school, and inspections on the new house. This week has been a whirlwind and a blur.

We only have 2 weeks of school left, and 3 weeks left before we move, but we are hoping once summer comes our life will slow down a little bit. Between packing and life, we are not left with any extra time right now.

Speaking of packing, we haven'd done nearly as much as we should. We really need to start working on getting things packed up, but with the above kind of weeks, when we finally get home, we collapse on the couch until we stumble to our bed! This weekend is a wash with both a baseball game and a dance competition, but maybe we can pack a little up next week.

In other news, the inspections on the new house are moving right along.  We found out the roof needs repairs to the tune of $2900... which sucks. However, since we are thinking (hoping?) the appraisal comes in under our asking price, some needed repairs does give us some bargaining leverage. The home inspection itself seemed to go well and didn't reveal anything in the way of hidden secrets, so that's good. Now we are just waiting to hear back from the pest inspection.

I sent a tiny payment of $12.66 to our debt. The other day I logged into my online banking and found I had a deposit of $12.66 from my school district for class coverage. I figured it was "found" money, not part of my budget, and therefore, fair game to go towards debt. I know it isn't much, but every little bit helps and brings us one step closer to getting out of debt!

Anyway, excuse my rambling. I just had a bunch of little things I wanted to share! Hope anyone reading this has a great weekend!
