the latest news...

So, JR and I are back to debating the idea of a kitten...it's going to happen but we aren't sure when. If it was up to me, I would drive down today and go pick one out! When it comes to animals I tend to be very impulsive, so JR wants to go with me...grrr! I am hoping this will cure my baby fever! LOL

In the past, it has always been JR to bring up the idea of having another child. However, in the past 3 or 4 weeks I have been entertaining the idea. It's kind of strange - there are far more reasons NOT to have another child than there are to have one. I think it has more to do with the fact that Logan is starting pre-K and Landry is about to be 2 than anything else. Sure I miss parts of being pregnant - but again there are more things I dont miss - like the morning sickness, the swelling ankles, the leaky boobs, the hormones...etc. Yes, I miss nursing my baby, I miss holding that sweet little thing in my arms...there is so much I miss about them being so small. After I had Landry, I was very conscious to not take ANYTHING for granted because I was sure that I would be having any more children...and while I was careful not to take it for granted, it doesn't mean I don't miss it. So, maybe we will have another child - but not for several years...and then again maybe we wont. College is expensive and JR and I are still paying his student loans..and probably will be until Logan is in college! Uhh. I have gone from paying $10 over the amount due to $25 over...hopefully it will take off a couple of years, and as JR makes more money, I hope to just keep paying more and more over the minumum payment until its gone.

I don't know if I said this before but JR got a raise back at the beginning of June, so we have been using the extra money on things like that above. $25 over the student loan payment, $25 over the car payment. We started putting an extra $25 on top of what we were putting in the kids college funds. AND we are trying to put a little bit aside for savings. JR and I decided to go on a cruise for our next vacation - and it looks like that will be somewhere in March, April, or May of next year. We thought about going this year in October, but with Landry's birthday and Halloween I don't think it will e the right time, and I am really scared about being in open water during hurricane season...so we will just wait!

Last, my sister posted on her facebook, either monday, or yesterday that she and Amelio got married. Now, whether or not its true, I can't say...maybe she is just trying to get attention. I dont know! I feel like everytime I get over her latest shenanigans, another one rises. It is so frustrating. To sit and wonder if my sister is married or not is a very strange concept. I just dont get it. Part of me wants to send her a message and ask - but the other part of me knows that is what she is wanting. Then I say, well at least if I ask then I have the answer...and then I tell myself not to care! I am just ready for this to end.
