Good Bye credit cards

We paid off our credit card a couple years ago. After paying it all off they decided to raise our interest rate to 27%. Needless to say we haven't used it again.

All the junk they send to us in the mail drives me crazy! Stephen found this site that you can opt out from all those junk mail offers for five years via the internet registration or the one I picked FOREVER via snail mail registration.

Good bye junk mail, good bye nasty credit cards, good bye sneaky fine print....hello some cash, I hope....someday....

Fathers and Sons Campout

I just have to announce:

I'M BASKING IN THE QUIET CALM OF THE FATHERS AND SONS CAMP-OUT!!!

I don't know who first came up with the idea of a fathers and sons camp-out, but I've decided whoever it was is a GENIUS.One night a year I get to go to bed without chasing half naked yahoos around the house. I get to eat a warm dinner without having to get up and take care of anything. I can eat my ice cream at any time I want to and I can eat it before that warm dinner if I want to. I know that tomorrow morning I'll wake up, just because it's time, not because Garrett is banging on everything he can get to in his room or to Gabriel so quietly asking to watch TV. I've said it before we're bad parents and taught him to turn the TV on by himself...so he won't wake us up in the morning asking to watch it. I know that Stephen is going to have a loooong night, but the boys will have the night of their lives. Last but not least after such a long night I know that it'll all happen again next year because Stephen had so much fun camping with his dad as a kid and wants our boys to have the same fun memories.

I used to feel ripped off that the girls didn't get to go camping. (We did have one mothers and daughters camp-out growing up but the Priesthood didn't want to do it again.) Now, I have a MUCH better idea of why this wonderful weekend happens every year. So sorry to all the all girl families out there you'll have to come visit me sometime.

Ahhh, I must go now and let the quiet envelope and soothe me into a TV watching zombie state, and to all a good night.....
