A new pool deck!

Well it has taken us about 4 half days and one almost full day,  but with the help of my Daddy we have a new beautiful pool deck! That is not much time considering we had a pile of kids running under foot most of the time! 

One of those weeks... months?

Ever have one of those weeks that turns into one of those months until you feel like you're drowning?  I'm not sure why but about once a year it seems like a thousand projects come up, tons of things all break at once,  and all kinds of unexpected expenses pop up.  These times are the ones that you say to yourself where did all our savings go?!? How are we going to stay afloat while still taking care of all these things?  It is now more than ever that you need to kiss your babies,    stop to breathe, smell the roses,  and remember what is really important in life. Years from now are you really going to even remember how you got those things fixed and paid those bills... or are you gonna remember the good moments? That's how you know what it is that's most important in your life.  Take care of that first!
