Art Festival Doubtful

Well we woke up all ready to go to the art festival today but it's now pouring cats and dogs. It was pretty cold yesterday, but I suppose we should have gone yesterday. Being as busy as I usually am I don't really get a chance to catch the news or weather forecasts, my own fault. It looks nasty outside, one of those days you just want to curl up on the couch and watch movies. We were going to go this morning and be home by the time Little Man needs to nap at around 1-1:30. I've always wanted to go to this and since this is our last February down here I thought this was our chance. Guess we'll have to plan a February vacation down here sometime and attend then.

I got my paper written last night along with my fourth discussion question posted. I had a lot of reading to catch up on so that's why I wanted to get it all done so we could enjoy the art festival today. We did end up going to the mall for a little while yesterday to get Little Man an outfit for his 2 year old pictures. I got a cute short overall outfit with a bug theme. They didn't have anythink really cute like they usually do but they were having a sale so I was happy about that. I wanted something a little summery looking since he already has a winter looking school picture. The weather is winter feeling though so I'm sure how the outfit is going to go with the weather tomorrow.

There are many phone calls and e-mails that I need to catch up on today and cleaning so maybe this was a good thing that the weather is crappy. We have Little Man's teacher coming over to watch him while we attend an event on Tuesday night so I want to make sure that the house isn't looking like a tornado went through. I remember when I used to babysit for kids at the daycare I used to work at, all the other teachers would always ask about the house and the decorating. I can tell you right now that we have zero decorating style because I never wanted to invest the time or money into an apartment. I always dreamed of decorating our first house. I probably should have just went ahead and done it because we'll probably never get a house and if we do there won't be a cent for decorating.

R did the taxes yesterday for three hours and we owe $2700, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! He had $10,000 from his side job at the university in Michigan that was MAJORLY undertaxed and he didn't realize it until yesterday. Here we thought we were get around $900 back, but nope, we have to come up with almost three thousand dollars in a little less than 2 months. Here I've been desperately trying to save money for the move and now we're going to be lucky if we have any money left by the time the move rolls around! Money sucks! I hate the fact that whenever things seem like they are looking up, something ALWAYS comes up! I was just working on the budget yesterday and we were going to have extra money at the end of the month to put into savings, which very rarely happens because it's so expensive to live down here. Oh well I hope everything works out okay. The last thing I want to do is put things on our credit cards because I've been paying them off FOREVER.
