Yeah! This is great!
Sean and I talked tonight about what to do about our house. It's a 3 bedroom 1 bath and the kitchen is too small for me. I really want the kids to have their own rooms which they do now, but with a 3rd child Joe would have to share since Hayley would be 10 by the time the baby's would be born it would not be fair to her. SO anyway we decided that we are going to convert one of the rooms in the basement to Hayley's room. It already has carpet and a ceiling, it just needs drywall. This will work out perfect. It will be bigger than the one she has now, super good since she has so much stuff and then the baby can have her old room! Hayley is really excited and is already asking when her room will be ready! lol We are also going to put a bathroom in the basement, their is already a shower so we just need a toilet and a sink and close it off, so there's another bathroom and we are going to add on to our kitchen and build a garage so everything that I was concerned about will be taken care of!:D It will take awhile to do all of it, but we will do the most urgent stuff first and go from there. This is such a big weight off of my shoulders and I feel like I can breathe again!
We have also decided that we are no longer going to get anything we don't need. Like I don't NEED a magazine every time I go to the store and Sean doesn't NEED to buy lunch at work everyday he can take it from home (I already do that ;)) so that we can save as much money as possible to do our home improvements and for the new baby. All the money Sean makes from his 2nd job and all the money I make from e-bay will go into savings and the money from our regular jobs will pay the bills and also some will go into savings. I just know that things will get better once we get caught back up on things. Like our house payment got behind so we are paying a butt load of money each month to catch up and we put our credit card debt to a credit counselor so that we are saving on interest and will be paid off faster and we don't ever use credit cards anymore, so once all that is done we can really relax. I feel like we are on our way to a brighter future!:D
