FORD F150. eric went out and bought himself one for christmas-4 months ago. Do you know that this "dream truck" of his was costing nearly $900 a month in gas and payments. ridiculous, i know. but he works his butt off so i figured if he really wanted to work a extra job just for this truck, it was up to him. and I was so sick of hearing how much he wanted this truck. It was a fun 4 months. poor eric did "one of the hardest things he's ever done". he traded it in for a .....ford fusion. i know its terrible isn't it? he so depressed. he hasn't told anyone. he wants to hide it in the garage (theres no room at the moment)

Its just so small, he keeps saying. ya thats why we got it- 30 mpg.
a 2008 sport edition, fully loaded, leather and all so don't feel to bad for him. he'll manage.


my crazy schedule starts this week.
  • still coaching synchro
  • 15 hours of swim lessons
  • 6 gym classes
  • 4 kids activites
so my blogging will be lacking unless something tramatic happens and i need to tell someone about it- which is quite likely.
I have a secret weapon to stay sane this year.
nanny-i'm calling my mothers helper that because she can drive. and she plays piano beautifully(which means she can help my kids unlike i ever can) why didn't i do this sooner???

What a bummer! Nice car though...I would drive it! :) Sorry Kels and Kaitlyn missed swim today - we haven't gotten into the lazy days of summer yet. I decided to make a cinco de mayo dinner for my inlaws (with a house torn apart from construction) and we didnt make it. I don't know how you do all you do - great idea to get a nanny :) I stress over my one or two classes/week. sad...

poor eric... remind him that he'll feel better the first time he fills it up with gas.

I thought his car looked really nice. maybe because it was in the daytime.
