Appliances: check

It is really early to be buying appliances but we were told that it is common for appliances to go up after the first of the year. I don't know if it's true or not but we bought it...hook, line and sinker or in this case double ovens, cook top and microwave. I also got the set of all fridge/all freezer that I wanted! Buying this early meant it had to be in the budget. Right? I guess if we run out of money we'll go without a toilet or something a lot less cooler than a massive refrigerator. Even though it is too early it has actually been helpful as we are in the process of designing the kitchen so we needed to know what the measurements of the appliances are anyway. You have to have an idea where the appliances are going before the rough in of plumbing.

We had to get out of the house anyway today because it was showing again. It totally freaks me out to come back home after someone has been in the house while I'm not here. I always wonder what all they did while they were here. Like I can imagine the agent being the look out while they get it on in all our beds or they get hair out of my hair brush to plant somewhere to frame me for a murder or something crazy. I have a strange obsession that makes we want to clean all the light switches and door knobs with alcohol. I don't do it...but I want to really bad. I think maybe I'll do it after Ryan's in bed so he won't see me.

Anyway we also went to see a tornado shelter. We are definitely getting one of theses babies. We spend a lot of time "hiding" from tornados. So much time that my kids actually get all their stuffed animals and pretend that a tornado is coming. It will seat eleven, so we figure we'll charge our neighbors admission to hang out during a tornado.  What do you think the going rate should be? I guess that could vary per person...
