Oh Happy Day

I woke up this morning with a killer headache, stuff nose and lack of energy. UGH!!! I had some really big plans for the day. Get all the groceries for Christmas Eve dinner (which I am hosting for Scott's side of the family) , pick up and organize the house (the real cleaning is going to be done tomorrow), and the laundry oh and pay the bills. Needless to say, I did go to the store and got the groceries and I did the bills. That is it, I have been a bum ever since. I then thought why not get the whole family involved since they are the ones that will benefit from all of this. So Scott is doing the laundry, Maggi is putting bows on the presents, Hayley is cleaning her room and then will clean the bathroom (well that is when she gets home from shopping with friends). I told them if they didn't pitch in and help then I will hold back all the presents until it is done.

I am a happy camper, while doing the bills I was able to payoff all of the credit cards, and Scotts truck. We paid off the house in June. It is such a wonderful feeling. I know it won't last long because we are looking at new cars already. Mine is 8 years old, I still like it and is very reliable but we need something that is such a tank and gas hog. But actually when we started looking we found out that my Expedition is better on gas than some of the newer smaller cars. Oh well I already have my heart set on a new one. What kind I am not sure yet but I am leaning heavy on the Honda CRV's. After Christmas we will get to work and hopefully be driving a new car or truck or suv or crossover.

I hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
