I don't know if I have 7 things to talk about.  That's why I've been so silent here.  I'm still playing catch up in many areas of my life.

I'm in the midst of a spending moratorium.  Sort of.  I can't seem to stop buying books whenever I see a good one for the children.  As for my TBR pile; it's huge.  Who knows if I'll ever read all those books.  Back to the spending.  I'm going to really stop.

This week has gone better.  I've made sure to get up early enough to take a shower before it's time to get the kids going.  It's made a bit of a difference.  Now, if I could only make myself get up to run on the treadmill before the shower.  My self-discipline is so lacking.

I'm typing this Thursday night.  It's raining.  Quite hard.  I love sitting here listening to the rain.  I just hope it clears up before morning.  Unfortunately, our mild weather is leaving us and the colder weather is coming to take its place.

My electricity bill was incredibly high.  I know that we had colder than normal temperatures, but still.  Our bill was a bit higher than a summer bill.  I blame the new meter that was installed against my will.  I didn't want it, but I wasn't allowed to say no.  And, I have to pay for it for the next 11 years.

I didn't watch the State of the Union address.  I don't like listening to him so I usually skim over the transcript.  I haven't done it yet though.  I'm not sure after reading a few articles if I want to.

See?  Not much to say.  Have a great weekend, everyone!
