Weekend In Review
We had a crazy fun weekend. I had some old friends (and when I say old, I mean people from Green Bay that I use to hang out with). It was great. It was great talking with people who actually know the “old me”. I hadn’t seen them in years, but we started where we had left off. (Hi Bill and Paul!). My friend Bill (yes, try have 2 Bills and a Will here — then Bill’s dad stopped by so we had 3 Bill’s and a Will) and I met at Taco Bell working together in high school. He took me to prom when my date broke up with me a month before prom, and we’ve been through a ton of crap together. However, we lost touch a while back, so I was so happy to get together. The last time we saw them, Madison was between 1-2. Now, hopefully, we can get together again a lot sooner!
Now, my kids are normally pretty good. Except on Saturday. While we had company. Will took a plastic golf club and whacked Madison on the face. The lip to be exact. He busted her gum, bruised her face, and gave her a fat lip. Just what we needed before school starts. Then Will took a faceplant last night coming out of the tub, so he has a busted lip. So we are not looking good here. LOL

Helping a fellow blogger out . . .
It’s been a rough couple of weeks out on mommy front on the internet. We’ve had two deaths of little ones that were taken way too soon. I was amazed at the amount of support that was given to both mommies, and I truly wish there was something I could do to make it right. I hate that helpless feeling.
That’s why when I came across Loretta’s post I knew I had to spring into action. See, her family has had a rough year. Her husband ended up off work and in the hospital due to a crazy infection. However, through it all, she’s never asked for anything. Even now when her son’s bike was stolen over Easter weekend. Yes, stolen. Now, she won’t ask for anything, but I will for her. I’ve linked to her post and if you notice at the end of it there is a little donation for buying her a movie. I would love to raise enough money for her to get another bike for her son. If you’ve got a little extra this month, please pass it forward and make her day.
Thanks!

More on remodeling
We finally got our stimulus check on Friday deposited in our checking account. Our goal is to save that since we are stimulating the economy enough with all the money we have been spending on our basement remodeling job (Home Depot is our new best friend). We also started talking about how we have paid everything off right away (so far), so we don’t have to worry about stop notices, liens, or anything like that. We have worked with several different contractors and suppliers for stuff, so this is very important. I have heard stories about people trying to buy a house and they find out there is a lien (or stop notice) on it. That has to be taken care of before the sale can go through. Each state differs in its rules regarding these, so make sure you do some research. In a crappy real estate market (and economy for that matter), you really don’t want to be messing around with something like this.
