          I've got a lot going on right now. Tax season is upon us, which is motivating my husband and I to set some plans in wet cement. We know that all ideas are open to alterations as the Lord sees fit, and we wouldn't have it any other way. He knows what is best for us, better than we do. 
          We plan on catching up on rent for sure, then paying down a couple bills, buying new tires for the truck and finally starting to save up for a down payment on a house. Unfortunately we will have to sign a new 12 month lease this month....ugh! Our land lord has been very gracious with us, considering all the hard times we've been through, but I was really hoping he'd let us sign a 6 month. Who wants to move in Dec. or Jan.? 
          But we did just find out that Sadie will be having surgery at the end of March. This will put us in adjustments for 10 weeks and set us up for her second surgery. Maybe its a good thing that we don't have a bunch of pressure to try to move out around the same time. 
         Then there's my cousin's wedding which will be in September. The location is several states away, so I'm hoping that we will be able to afford it.
         So then there's the idea that we might want to take Sadie to Disney World. We weren't even considering it until a couple nights ago when we randomly decided to check prices. She'd just be turning 2 so we still wouldn't have to really pay for her which would be nice. I've kind of himmed and hawed around the thought that maybe she's to young, however if we don't go this year, I fear we won't go for another 3 years...and I don't  know if I could wait that long!! Ha! We are thinking about trying for another baby and I wouldn't want to go while pregnant or with a newborn or toddler under 2. So I guess you could say it is something we are highly considering.
        Unfortunately we just got some very difficult news last night. My husband's mother was just diagnosed with cancer. She's been sick since May with a sore throat and her Dr.s just kept giving her antibiotics. Finally she went in to the hospital in December and they started running tests on her. After about a month, last night we all got the call. I'm happy that they have a diagnoses and that they can now start a treatment plan, but I must admit that I'm a little aggravated with her original Dr.s that just kept medicating her without looking into her real illness. Doctors...ugh!!!
        Well that's an idea of all the craziness surrounding my brain right now! Tata for now
