...at the dining room table, coffee in hand. Someday I hope to have a dedicated computer space, such as a smallish desk in the kitchen. I don't like being cut off from the rest of the house so moving to one of the kid's downstairs bedroom (when they vacate) is not ideal. There is room in the corner of the kitchen, all it takes is money for the remodel (and isn't that always the case). Lately we've been having a short supply. My kids seem to be expensive, more so than any other kids I know, really. And it's not being spent on Abercrombie or Starbucks. I pay out for National Honor Society Dues, Boy Scout stuff, camping stuff, books from Borders (such as Crime & Punishment), and various other stuff that is deemed more necessity than want. We're happy to do it. I just point to the old minivan that they are embarrassed to drive and be seen in, and say "get used to it". Generally they don't complain. We have a good life and they know it!
Wow, that's a lot to say so early in the morning.
Andrew has his first behind-the-wheel driving instruction today (have to have at least 6 hrs in the State of California, over a six month period, in order to be eligible for a driving license), followed by a job interview that's 2 hours away (Boy Scout Camp), Jessica has a hair cut, the tankless hot water heater installation guy is coming to give us a bid, and I have three messy bathrooms. Oh yea, plus I have to repair some stitching on one of my quilts. Busy day for us!!
