New Year

So far the new year has been busy and full of new things. Mat left New Year's day for a flight to San Diego and ended up in Washington. He spent a few days there and just got home a couple days ago.
I just started watching two little girls 2-3 days a week. The oldest is 2 1/2 and the younger one is 3 months. It has been a big adjustmet. I am still trying to figure out how to manage 3 kids (2 of them being babies) at the same time. I'm starting to get into a routine, and that seems to help. I think it will be really good for me, and the extra money will definitely help.
We sold our Lexus this week. It was such a great car, so we were really sad to see it go. It ended up being a crazy ordeal because it happened really suddenly while Mat was out of town. We sold it then the buyers told us it had a rebuilt title, and the odomoter was off by about 40,000 miles. We had no clue because we had never thought to check the carfax. In the end we had to give the buyers some of their money back and ended making only $250 on the car instead of $950. But at least we don't have that car payment anymore and the buyers are happy!
Tomorrow we are getting rid of Madeline, our cat. I'm so sad about it, but we've decided it's the best decision. She isn't a very nice cat, and she can't be trusted. Already she has swiped at the 2 1/2 year old that I watch multiple times, and it's only a matter of time before she scratches, bites, or just full on attacks her. So we will try to find her a home, if that doesn't work we will end up taking her to the humane society. I really hate to do that, but I don't know what else to do! Hopefully she will find a home.
