How organized are you?

    Drawer 

       The drawer above is just one of the many drawers that we have at home. Ryan carefully labels them. From my pay stub to his, utilities, cars, insurance, mortgages. All in one drawer neatly arranged. Don't get me wrong but I am not  as keen as Ryan when it comes to papers. You can even ask him one thing and he exactly knows where they are. Once a year he goes through the drawers and gets rid of those old papers that we do not need. He also (which I think is very smart) gave a copy of our house title to Dad in case the house burns down ( simbako lang).

      When I eat while watching tv, sometimes I forget wrappers by the side table. Sad to say, Ryan cleans it up after me. It is not that I intentionally left it there but he picks it up for me anyway. Even his CD's and DVD's are neatly arranged. From Starwars I-VI, Back to the Future I-III, Terminator I-III, all 3 Indiana Jones to his James Bond's movie collection. The nice thing about him is, the more I disarranged it, he doesn't get mad like other neat freaks. Bless his heart.

     For education's sake

     Last Saturday after church we drove up to Michael's to get some threads that I needed for my cross stitch and on our way, we could not help to talk about where our child is going to go to school. Although our baby is still in the oven, you can't stop these excited parents to talk about where to put our baby to school. Ryan insisted on sending our child in a Catholic school. We even drove to one on our way home. I thought for what? He was a product of a public school. I was from a public school when I was in elementary and college and we turned out alright. He told me that he will show me something that will change my mind.

     I didn't know that the night before, he already did some research of his own. So when we got home, we went to the internet to check local schools. The unfornate thing here in the US is if you want to send your child in a public school you need to follow the district or to where your child should go even if you don't like it. Your  other option would also be to send the kid to a Catholic/private school. One school, middle school that our child is supposed to go is not doing too well. And the population is  85 % - 15 % . You do the math. In 4-5 years, it will be dominantly 100%. I really have nothing against the race but my husband had been around more than I do and I am not even going to argue. Catholic school there is. I even told him to start saving now because it will be a lot. He was just too cute though telling me that we only have 2 years before that baby starts school. I reminded him that I am still pregnant and and the  baby is not out yet . By the way, the high school?, it's 80% - 20% add to it the violence that we hear, here and there. I really liked our neighborhood but the district pretty much covered a big range of group.

     We are hoping to move out soon but if we won't be able to ( move really soon) because of Ryan's work, we have to work around what we only have. That is why he made sure that we plan it ahead of time. I got to tell you, I am so blessed with his man.

You are so lucky of your husband, thats one in a million. I just do not want to share mine, its extra ordinary............ Being the youngest of the brood, even at fifty he said "I AM THE BABY" What can you say.
I got three girls, two are graduating and my youngest is still third year high school, basically, that's the reason I'm working my butt out nowadays.
Young parent like you, must plan ahead. Education is getting stiff, we really got to prepare.Good luck
