Our Little Cottage

Sunday Again...

It's Sunday again.  And again, a new week has begun.  And yet again, old messes (and some new ones) await me throughout our little house!

***************************************************

On Thursday, Danny and his dad went and picked up the insulation board that we need for our home.  It was much more expensive that what I was hoping for.  So it's going to cost well over $1000 to do the whole house!

Danny also came across even more boards with damage that will have to be replaced.  We also are going to have to get someone out here to make sure we do not have termites.  There is some termite damage, but we came across no bugs.  So we believe that is from maybe a problem from some time ago, before we even moved in.  We just want to be sure before we put on the insulation board and the siding next year.

So that is the hold up on our house now.  With well into the month of August now, I'm just hoping that things will get done before it starts to turn cold.  I'm counting on that insullation board this year to help keep our heating costs down this winter!

On Friday, Arlee and I went out shopping.  I had to do some grocery shopping and Arlee wanted to check out the new Dollar Tree.  She had some allowance money that was buring a hole in her pocketbook!

We had a good time out and about around town!  We even stopped by CiCi's pizza for lunch.  She was able to buy a few little trinkets from the Dollar Tree and some new Littlest Pet Shop to add to her collection from WalMart.

I got a little depressed at the grocery store myself.  The price of sugar was up to $2.08!  I stood there shaking my head!  Trying to picture in my head that if grocery prices keep rising...what I was going to do to make our food stretch!  I just tried to push those thoughts out of my mind for the day...since I wanted to enjoy my time out with my daughter.

"I will think on it another day," is what I told myself.  And, today is not that day either!

Saturday, I spent most of my day getting everyone ready!  We dropped the four kids off over and Danny's parent's house so that Danny and I could go out alone together!  It was so much fun!

First we went to Ryan's to get something to eat.  It was so yummy!  We haven't been to Ryan's in over a year!  Heck, it could actually be closer to 2 years now that I think about it!

After we ate we headed over to play some putt-putt golf.  Oh, it was so much fun!  It reminded me of our honeymoon since that was the last time we played putt-putt!  What great memories!

We did a little shopping at Meijer's before we headed back to pick up the kids.  I hope we will be able to have another night to ourselves soon!  I just love getting to spend time with Danny...just the two of us!  I enjoy his company so much!

*************************************************

On Monday and Tuesday I will be getting deliveries for our school supplies from the virtual school!  I'm so excited!  I have got to do some cleaning today to make room for all the new stuff, but I just can't seem to get moving!  I'm very tired today.

Maybe a little nap will do the trick!

Have a Great Day, All
