Bubbleshare..

Bubbleshare hates me. I have tried for 2 days to get the stupid thing to work. I can get the pics uploaded, but when I try to post it to my blog, it doesn't recognize the HTML. I am annoyed. So instead, I will add the pics the old fashioned way.

Just a thought..

Since Bill and I have bought our land, I have been going to bed at night thinking of how much money we need. I think of lottery winnings and try to decide how to spend it. Ok, I have $20,000, I can get septic, well, and electricity for about $10-15,000, so do I take the rest and pay off my durango, or do I buy the trailer with the rest? Ok, so I need $50,000. That should cover everything. But if I won $60,000, would I just pay off the land and save some more? But that would mean we would have to live in our matchbox for longer than I seem to be able to stand now. Ok, what if I won $250,000? We would take home say $180,000, so we could pay off the land, buy Bill a new truck, pay off mine, and only finance another $100,000. In my mind, we are millionaires. But if we actually won millions, how much to give to everyone?

Alex is of the ilk that nobody deserves any money. You must work for what you have. I don't believe that, but if I won $57 million, people might not be so happy with me if I only gave them $150,000. But by the time you take the cash option, pay for the house and cars and etc., you have to have plenty in the bank to live on, because let's face it, we won't ever work again! So when you're left with a list a mile long of everybody that feels like they deserve a chunk, the cuts get a lot smaller than may seem fair.

Anyway, Bill and I went to the boats over the weekend for our Anniversary (boats= Isle of Capri Casino). I went hoping for my various amounts. After 2 minutes on a slot machine and $40 in the hole, I saw my dreams just might not come true. But at the end of the night, we had managed to maintain our money we went with and profit $60. It didn't pay for the whole trip (i.e. babysitter, food, gas), but it sure was a fun date. Perhaps it is very good that it takes 2 hours to get there. I just might develop a gambling problem. Because in my mind, I have the best of luck, and I am rich beyond my dreams!

Happy Anniversary, Bill

Yesterday was our first Anniversary. I can't believe how quick the year has gone. Our first year has gone off without a hitch. I can't say we've had any real arguments, just the usual spats that happens when people live together, such as why can't you do the dishes tonight, is it really that hard to put your dirty clothes in the hamper, its your turn to get up with Ryan and let me sleep.

Bill, I love you more now than I did a year ago. My vows to you are stronger than ever. You are my best friend and confidant. I can't imagine my life without you. I rely on you for everything. You allow me to lounge in my pj's all day, and come home and still kiss me and tell me I am beautiful. You don't eat my poor meals, but you don't gripe at me for it either. We are growing together, able to understand without words what the other is thinking. You are a wonderful Father, and Ryan is lucky to have you. I hope I let you know enough how much you mean to me. My life means nothing without you beside me.

Babysitter wanted.

My babysitter is out of commission until May. I am feeling rather selfish about this whole thing, but I really like her. So what that she had been bleeding so bad she needed 3 units of blood just to keep on living? Is a hysterectomy really going to keep her out more than a week? I mean, come on, Lady, suck it up! No, I don't really mean that, but when you find someone that is so good to your son, its hard not to be sad that they won't be there. She is going to LA to be with family while she gets better, and since it is 6 weeks of recovery, she is just going to transfer her 7 year old boys to school there and finish the year. The boys aren't the reason she needs help. It is her 2 year old. She is adorable, but as any young child, she does not understand fully the meaning of "Mommy is sick and can't pick you up right now". So I will frantically be trying to find someone else. My babysitter recommended a temporary replacement, but I don't know how I feel about that yet. We'll see.
