New

Aren't we silly as adults? Kids get all excited for Christmas and all the new wonderful things they can get then. Us? we get all excited at tax time (if we get some money back that is) and all the wonderful things we can do with the return. Eric and I went today with our fun money (that is the part we get to keep after all the grown up stuff is done with the rest) and bought new cell phones. So what have I been doing all day? Me, the person who says she only wants a cell phone to make and recieve calls? I have been playing with all the cool gadgets on this stupid thing! And I am having fun doing it! Ring tones, wall papers, call lists oh my! you would think that this was the neatest thing next to sliced bread. Silly I know, but i can't seem to help it. The funny thing is, I guess I am soooo very excited about it that it's rubbed off on the kids and THEY want to play with it too! But I just say no, and go back to pushing buttons, they leave their nintendo DS's and gameboys and mp3's and all their cool stuff and want to play with mom's phone. It makes me laugh.
On another note, I get to go to KANSAS!! I am so stoked! I feel kinda guilty about spending money to take the kids out of school and drive half way across the country, but i am doing it anyway. Besides, Eric can always look for work out there and I get to see Becci. I figure that we have no job right now, and if it weren't for this little room in my mothers house, we would be homeless to, so we might as well do something to bring some fun back into this family. It's been a very stressful few months, and it's starting to show on the girls, on Eric and on me. I haven't left the house for 2 weeks before today, and i don't usually just sit. It's getting kinda scary, worse than i want to admit, so i am going to take a road trip and try to find my mind again.
