The car...

Margot's 2006 might be on it's last leg.   We've started looking at cars.   I've looked at the Prius and last night I started looking at the Volt.  

There are tax incentives now to buy the electric cars and they make the cars really reasonably priced.   PLUS....who wouldn't like getting 36 free miles per charge and great highway mileage when the automobile turns to gas mode?

Up, up, and away!

We have become dear friends with L and G.   They are just like our kid's grandmas and we love them dearly.   They are a bit older than us and I know there could come a time when we would need to take care of them.  

I haven't even broached the topic of what they would want to do and I can imagine that ideally they would like to stay in their own home as long as possible.  

They have a beautiful 2 story farm house and in order to make things easier it might make sense for them to have a stair chair lift.   

Back to work!

After almost two years away from work having babies and raising the children - I'm back!!!

It's been an OK transition.   At times I miss being home and then there are other times that I really do like being out and about and love my job.

We've been trying to figure out the balance between work and home.   Now that I'm back it means that the cooking and cleaning has to be shared.    This isn't happening.   So it means that I'm still taking care of kids, working, and then the other stuff is still on me.

Thank God we have a housekeeper that comes every other week to help out.  

The paycheck has been nice too.
