Hmmm...

We wanted something to do outside today because it is so darn nice outside. Let me tell you, we came up with a really great landscape plan for our property. Out came the measuring tape and soon everything was marked out, including where the grass would be (as marked by a hose). We got all excited and came inside to grab a quick lunch before heading to the landscape store to price everything out. Then reality set in....

Last night one kid or the other was up all night! We are exhausted. You would think that after 4 months of being in the same room, that the kids would be used to eachother by now. The conclusion: the kids cannot sleep in the same room. The problem: our house has only two rooms. Madilyn already spent 6 months in the dining room.

We are also spending a ton of money on getting our food storage together, and now we have run out of room and need to build shelves. So, after all the dreaming and excitement over the yard, we decided the following:

1. We have to get our food storage done first
2. We HAVE to make our carport into a third bedroom because that is the only way we can afford to add on (we have to have sleep!)
3. Then maybe, just maybe, we can have a yard for the kids to play in.

It's so irritating to never have enough to go around. I guess I shouldn't have burst the bubble because we were having so much fun. However, I don't want to get so far into the landscaping that we lose sight of the things we need to do first.

I guess EAC's grass will have to handle our constant footsteps for another year.

Sad.
