Perception is apparently everything...

I just wanted to clear the air about a couple things. I guess the way it sounds (if you don't know me) is that I'm apparently quite "loaded". Just to clarify: #1 my Nanny trades her services Mon-Fri for room and board. I have the extra space that I wasn't using, therefore I have saved myself some money in childcare. #2 my Mercedes is a 1985, not that it isn't a great car, but it is old, and also paid for. #3 my Mexico trip is part of a timeshare, therefore all we have to come up with is airfare to get there and voila, instant vacation! I just wanted everyone to know that I am not in fact a fancy rich snob, I actually struggle quite a bit to make things work, but I love the struggle and I feel accomplished when I can make things better for my family. :) Now, on to the good stuff!

I signed the kids up for the Little Gym today, they are going for a trial class on Saturday to see how they like it. I have to recommend this to moms everywhere. The family rate is $40 per year and that includes 1 class per week per child. This to me is a deal!!! Give the kids a break once a week, something to look forward to and to go interact with other children their age, especially during summer months, or even for younger children that aren't in school yet. And they also have other activities and things like parents nights that we can have priority signing the kids up for and we could have a date night for a couple hours. Look them up! The Little Gym - Federal Way They have locations everywhere, so even if my location isn't local for you, it's likely there is one that is local to you!

Mexico is still on!!! Looks like only 3 of us are confirmed, but there still could end up being 4. I will keep you all posted on the dilemna's, if any, that we may come across! We are still looking to call in favors to friends for deals on the airfare (hint, hint)...

Happy Hump Day by the way!!! As a couple of my close friend would say, saddle up your Camel!!! :)
