Somehow the other day I got caught up in a Marathon of the Real Housewives of Orange County. The show followed five different women and their families over a period of time. Suffice to day that Orange county is a long way from Lawrence County.
These women were in the late forties. I couldn't really tell. They all had Huge boobs. I am sure that they were not real, and 60% of them were blonds. Nothing against blonds, but there was a lot of bleach involved. It is amazing to see the contrast in their lives and my life. 3.4 million dollar homes, 60,000 cars, let me treat myself to a piece of jewerly 20,000. Well, Hey I deserve it... One lady bought her daughter her first piece of expensive jewerly $3500 earrings!
I feel bad for buying myself new shirts at Kohl's when they have buy one get one free.
One thing that you could see is that most of these ladies were hard working. Most all had jobs outside the home. They spent a lot of time working. A few of the kids were bratting rich kids, but some of them seemed to be giving some value to money.
It is hard to teach kids the value of money. Yuri often inquires how much he has in his savings. It is a modest sum, but we work hard to put money back for him and Yin. We have really tried to let him know how expensive this Disney trip is going to be and he has been saving and offering to eat at home instead of going out. If you ate my cooking you would know that this is a sacrifice for him. He He.
In other news, all of my shows seem to be ending in the next three weeks. This makes me kinda sad. 7th Heaven (don't make fun of me I love this show) has it's final episode next Monday. It has been on for ten years. Almost as long as Rudy and I have been together. My Gram loved this show. I remember her watching it during the day when she sat for Yuri and he could sing the entire song at the beginning of the show. On May 1, she has been gone for 3 years. It seems like just yesterday. May 1st is a sucky day all the way around. This is the 10 year anniversay of us trying to have a bio baby and altough I love Yin and Yuri more than LIFE and would NEVER trade them. This day still make me sad...
ON to happy news Yin has slept for four days in the toddlere bed. No nights, but hey my new nephew (not born yet 15 more days) might get this crib before he is ten! Way to go Yin!!
