Today is an exciting day. The season premeire of One Tree Hill is tonight. Oh how exciting my life is...
Today is also my first day alone with all 4 kids. So far so good. It's like it was before the baby, except that now I have to take care of Olivia when she is awake, and the others are good about letting me. They want to touch her all the time though, and while I don't think it bothers her, it gets on my nerves. But I am sure I'll get used to that and as the newness of Olivia wears off they will settle down a bit.
I found a kitchen table and chairs that I really like and want to get. The price is the greatest part about it. It is a 7-piece table...comes with the table w/leaf, and 6 chairs, for $300. I have never seen a table that nice, with 6 chairs for such a low price. The only problem now is that I don't have $300. I am going to start doing some computer work for Kris' company, but I can't gaurantee that I will have $300 at any set time. Yesterday Kris almost said I could get it, then decided that I should actually have some money coming in first. I thought about borrowing the money from my parents and paying them like $60 a month until it's paid off, but I don't think Kris wants to do that either. He may still decide I can get it. My concern with waiting is that it will be gone by the time I can get it. It is at Sam's and I know they swap their furniture in and out from time to time, so what if it isn't there? The price is too good to pass up though Kris seems to think we can find another one for that price, that size, with 6 chairs. I am convinced that is not true...because I have been looking at tables and chairs for the last 6 years and pricing them. If they have a table that price, it usually is too small or comes with only 4 chairs so then you have to spend another $200 to get the other 2 chairs.
My life is really quite boring. This blog helps me to realize that. Oh well. I guess I don't really care.
I am really looking forward to tomorrow...it will finally feel like fall and this weekend should be nice too. We are having a big party at the house on Saturday for all the kids and so it looks like it might be the perfect weather so all the kids (especially the neighbor kids that come) can hopefully play in the backyard instead of running through the house, which I am sure they will try to do anyway. Of course that means that we will have to actually do some work in the backyard, pick up sticks and stuff like that, but if the weather is nice, I really won't care. I might even be able to get Kris to mow back there. We haven't mowed back there since last summer, and even then we only did that like twice. It doesn't need it much, as there isn't really grass back there...just some strange grass-like greenery.
