Simma down.....

[MrsMB]

So, DH told me last night we have to "simma down" on the house purchases. It was such a high...I didn't mean to get hooked! LOL

It was so much more fun on a cute new house than our old one. I let everything get away from me. 

At least we planted the trees before he hit "pause," right?

LOL! I'm your DH in this scenario. DH has been spending money on our house like crazy...for the last 15 months! We just spent another $300 for a pool cover so it will heat it a little better...personally I think it's a waste of money since I'll now have to roll it back and forth every time I want to use it...who has the time for that with a baby just for a few degrees of heat (when we live in SoCal and it's constantly 90+ in the summer and capable of self heating)...not to mention that it takes away from the beauty of having a pool.

Thank goodness most of the other "projects" have added value to our house so I just kept my mouth shut on this one. It will help save water, which equates to less money to the water company and helping our water usage in our drought state. And, he has good intentions because he wants the water to be pleasant for C and I to enjoy this summer.

Glad you got the trees planted! Now enjoy your new home for now without having projects all the time!

I'm OK with where we are now....even though, that was such a buzz! Preferably, I would have liked to get the dining room table done. BUT I understand what he said about the bar stools being enough for just us right now. It we had guests over, we have something we could make do with too...

It's amazing how quickly the purchases add up...we had to buy a bunch of stuff when we DOWNSIZED to this apt because we had different needs than before. So crazy!

[MrsMB]

HoneySpider I understand exactly what you are saying!
