Sunday Reflections

It doesn't get any better than this. My bride sitting next to me on the half-torn up free couch we got off craigslist, as she organizes a new batch of freshly clipped coupons. A nice warm cup of joe with hazelnut and an extra drop of sugar. Life is just not the same as it was just a year ago or so. The kids are all in bed after an exciting afternoon of watching CARS and playing with the big blue ball before heading off to bed. Poor Micah, he couldn't make it to bed without at least one big bump on the head. This time because big brother fell on him. Yeah, life just isn't the same.

It's nice to not have to worry about working tomorrow, or any Monday for that matter. We usually find something to fill up the Saturdays and Mondays with, though. Like a paycheck, the time is eagerly anticipated, but completely spoken for and alloted before you really even get to enjoy it.

(As Ashley gasps in frustration as she just discovered a coupon she wish she had with her earlier.)

I love my home. The couch I alluded to earlier is really not in bad shape. That is, if you can get past the chunks of fabric missing here and there. It is a new project. We are trying our hands in the reupholstering industry. Something everyone should attempt at least once in his life. The mental picture is beautiful, but getting from A to B might be quite challenging. Stay posted for the results. Maybe you'll get the results before my next birthday.
