Another one soon gone...

Today I deposited the state tax refund check - now we can pay off the student loan on Monday. It sucks to not be able to buy fun things with this money - but it sucks WAY more to be in debt! I can't wait til it's all gone - the debt, not the money!

I also can't wait until Monday to get rid of one more loan. I wish I could do it online, but I'm not sure how it works with the payoff. I want to make sure that the automatic payment doesn't go through even though the loan will be paid off. Like the newspaper - we canceled it and they still took out our payment for the month. I've already called once, but it looks like I'll have to call again on Monday. I hate that. Maybe when I call, I'll ask them to deliver a free Sunday paper for all my troubles - then I can get some more coupons!

I tried to cut my youngest son's hair yesterday in an effort to save some money and because it was driving me crazy. Anyway - I tried using the clippers but they were our old ones that don't work, so then I tried just cutting it with scissors. Have you ever tried to cut a 2-year old's hair? I wouldn't recommend it unless you've got some serious experience! He was wiggling all over the place and then when he started screaming, I thought I better stop before I scar him for life. So - his hair looks TERRIBLE! Poor thing. I'll have to wait until DH is home so one of us can hold him and the other can cut. I'm SO looking forward to it....ha ha ha. Cutting hair is definitely something I'd like to learn how to do. I find it annoying to pay someone else to cut my boy's hair. I wouldn't dare do DH's, but I should know how to do the boy's hair....isn't that something a good mom knows how to do? Maybe that's not a fair gage, but I'd still like to learn how!
