PAID!


Dear Rose and Eva,

At approximately 10 am this morning, May 4, 2012, my online bank said the payment to the loan we used to pay for our happiness/neurosis/exhaustion/bliss was "PROCESSING." Thanks in part to the IRS, a bad economy, and a fortuitous new job, we may now stamp "PAID IN FULL" on your hineys. Whew!

You both may now rest easy knowing that you will not be re-possessed. You do, however, still need to be mindful that completely over-the-top tantrums can send Baba to the keyboard to inquire what children are going for on eBay.

Now I can rip-off fellow blogger (Our Simple Lives) Mark's line "Thanks, I bought 'em that way." and actually mean it. Can't really say that in earnest when you're still doling out payments can you.

LOL and congrats ! We're still paying off our wee princess and will for very, very long time, since I was laid off a month before she was born.

LOL. When our girls have a tantrum, I tell them we've saved the receipt and pretty sure exchanges are welcome!

LOL! I thought we were the only ones financing our child :D
I had to promise Jeff I would never threaten a screaming kid with a Short Sale.

That must be a relief...I am not sure how we're going replenish the savings but I guess we have to start somewhere. CONGRATS!!!
