Last year when I got the little one new curtain’s for her room she wanted some more grown up ones. So this year I let her pick them out. She picked out a very nice set of pink ones, but because they were so shear we had to get her blinds to keep the sun out. I went to the store by me to get cheap blinds for her room, and I saw some nice faux wood blinds, but after what I had just spent on curtains decided that they were too much for me. I ended up just getting the cheap ones. Now a year later she broke them, and hubby says that it’s because I tried to save a few dollars, and didn’t just go ahead, and buy good ones. I know that realistically our little one had a fit, and didn’t mean to break them. So now I went back to get better ones, and got a surprise. The price was more this time around. It drives me nuts when this happens so I picked up another cheap set, and told her that she pays for them the next time she breaks them. Who knows maybe now they’ll last a little longer.

We go camping once or twice a year just to get away for a weekend, and try to have some fun. I make sure I pack every little thing that you could think of in case we need it. I told hubby that next time I need to pack some eye creams, or maybe just some good sleeping pills because the bed in the camper keeps me up all night because it’s so hard. I guess that I shouldn’t complain because some people have it worse because they are in tents. It’s funny how when I was a kid I remember how I could sleep almost anywhere.
We remodeled our house a bit last month. We did some small things, and the biggest thing we did was paint. When I painted all my doors in the house I took all the door knobs off instead of trying to paint around the door locks, and knobs. At first I thought this was a better way of working, and that it would be no big deal to put them back on. I mean how hard could it be to put two screws back in to the door knobs. Well what I failed to realize was that if you don’t line everything up just right that they don’t work correct. I didn’t want to tell hubby what I did because he told me not to take the locks off because I won’t know how to put them back on. I wish I did listen to him because it would have made my life a little easier. I tried to put them back on correct for one hour before I said forget this, and waited for hubby to get home. Hubby said that it would have been a little easier if I didn’t put all the parts for 4 different locks in one spot. Maybe I need to listen to him more often. He told me I should have just taped them off, or just cut in around them. I didn’t understand the cut in part, but he said that he knows how to do it because he does it everyday at his part time job.
