She came home today


Jessica has been away all week with her class. You should have seen her face light up as her bus pulled into the parking lot of her school. I missed my baby. I was trying to figure out what I miss the most when Jessica is not with me. I think it's having the one person in my life that depends totally on me, but also trusts and appreciates me 100%. The other kids also "need" me, but they often are the voice of criticism. Nothing I do for them is ever right. Maybe it's just the age (Thomas is nearly 11, and Philip is almost 10). Jessica is all sweetness. I miss her sweet laugh, I miss her sweet little hand that wants to hold mine as she falls asleep at night. She had a great time on her trip. She wrote something for my parents Anniversary and I'll post that tomorrow. I am so glad she is home...my sweet baby is home!

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
