Does your home feel like a circus too? I know mine does. There are many changes I am hoping to do in 2009 that will make it even less of a zoo here. First, I am hoping to become more organized. Right now, we have paperwork from one end of the house to the other. Instead of just stacking it and then filing it when I am good and ready, my goal is to actually file it right away. Then I don’t have to worry about losing it. Next, I am hoping to save more. This will be interesting and hard. With Bill’s new car and possible school tutition for Madison, that may wipe us clean in a crappy economy. However, we’ve made it this far. I already cut coupons and if need be, we will start cutting the extras like cable and my daily newspaper. However, I am keeping my hopes and I think 2009 will be a great year!
What are your plans to make your life less of a circus in 2009?
Will’s first birthday is coming up next Saturday. I know, it is hard to believe that he is going to be one already! Time sure flies fast. With everything that is going on with the basement, it has been a zoo at my house. The thing Bill and I are struggling with (besides whether the basement is going to get done in time) is what do we get Will for his birthday. Madison thinks we should get him this Lagoon Pool that I posted a picture of. I think he is a tad too young even though it’s on sale (though I am sure she wouldn’t mind having it). Most of the big stuff we already own, so we are seriously at a loss on what to get him. I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg, so please let me know any ideas you guys may have! We already own a swing set, an easel, a basketball hoop, a house, a sandbox, toyboxes, at least 100 books, riding toys, and blocks. I bought some sand toys for Madison to give him, but that is it. Can you see why this is an issue? I only have a week to figure something out! Help!![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=555188d8-eacc-41cf-8a37-e61a6fea088e)
