We're in the market to buy our first home! It's exciting but also very scary because it's a big chunk of change! Since we've been looking, our finances have come to light and there are two things that I wanted to share that I am proud of. One, I am proud of my dang good credit score (over 800). My dad told me when I went off to college to be scared- very scared- of buying things on credit and his advice stuck with me. Second, I am and will always be proud of the fact that I was totally 100% debt free when Jason and I got married. No credit card debt and no school loans. I took out some school loans for college but most of it was "forgiven" when I was a teacher. Don't be knocking teachers, y'all! People would be like, "Why the heck are you teaching?" And in my head, I would be like, "Dude, all my school loans will be gone by my third year of teaching!" Well, I am sure that any loan forgiveness programs for teachers are most likely gone now but I am so glad that I was teaching at the right time to benefit from them!
Tyler is becoming a smart-ass. (Is there a nicer way of saying that, cause calling your son a smart-ass doesn't sound right.) The other day when I saw him pushing Chase in the back so fast that Chase looked like he was going to fall over, I told Tyler to stop. His response? "Mom, I'm just helping him walk." When I looked at him with stern eyes, he said, "I'm guiding him!" This morning, when Chase woke up, Tyler was jumping on him. I mean, like WWF moves and Chase started to cry. Guess what Tyler said when I told him to stop? "Mom, I'm just giving him a hug!" Oh my! Kids crack me up!
So, back to being on the hunt for a house. We saw this house and it would be perfect if I start a daycare at my house. For some reason, this has always been a dream of mine. My mom and my sister are like, "Why do you always talk about that? Just don't do anything! Stop talking about this daycare business!" But, I WANT to work and do SOMETHING! Making some income would be nice too. We'll see what happens.
Happy Hump Day, everyone! Hang tight till the weekend!
