If you follow my sister's blog, you'll understand this title. I loved her list and felt compelled to continue the thread.
Once you pay off your debts, something will occur to plant you squarely back in the red. Like, the wooden balcony off your balcony and the various other tiny bits of wood on the exterior of the house were so poorly treated when the builder did the original paint job that the wood is now rotting and will cost me ONE THOUSAND dollars to scrape, sand, fill, caulk and paint it again.
If you are really tired and finally sleeping through the night after months of overtime, something that moves will take up residence in your walls or attic. Don't ask. I have to call one of those people who makes a living crawling around searching for things like that.
If you buy your kids a guinea pig, you will be cleaning squished poop off the ceramic tile and cleaning pig urine off the new laminate floor. Enough said.
If you buy your kids breathing puppy toys, suddenly life seems extraordinarily sweet. That sounds weird, but it is amazing what a puppy - even pretend ones - can do.
Oh yeah, and universal truth number ONE -
my kids love me a LOT and that makes all the other not so nice truths completely bearable.Lianne
