Time flys by......

Nothing real exciting has gone on here lately.

DSD 19 has finally gotten her car legal and on the road. Fighting us on the job issue, but we will not back down. She needs a real job, but that is DH's area. Gotta keep in the boundaries of a step-parent. Sometimes it can be really hard to see that "line".

Having to remove a rather large tree in our yard. We have had several quotes, and all I can say is "oh my"! DH is going to try and take it down himself with the help of our neighbor. I told him to please be careful, I would rather find the money somewhere than to have him risk his life!

Going to the renaissance festival this weekend. I am almost finished with the costume. I have the skirt to do and that should be easy compared to everything else. I will take pictures! I hope that weather stays as predicted! Cool and dry.

Have a great night!

Cell phones

Well, I did something scary last night. I changed my individual cell-phone plan into a family plan! Yes, now my three step-kids have cell phones. The older two girls already had pre-paid ones, but they were just wasting money! My 15 year-old boy as been biting at the bit for a phone....so I bit the bullet.

They are responsible for paying their portion, plus any extras they put on there. I am confident they will following through...actually on the middle one worries me, but she could only abuse the phone one month and her father will be on her case like nothing else!

I was against them all having phones for awhile, but now that we live out in the country, it really has become a need. At least for a safety issue. With the plan we got they will each get about 300 minutes, with unlimited nights and weekends. Also, if they call anyone else with the same company, it is unlimited... All this for about $25 a month. Compared to what the girls were paying for the pre-paids, this is cheap.

They have all been really good about not having them before, expecially when all their friends seemed to have had them for years. I guess I am just having a hard time with them growing up! LOL

Have a great day!
