Weekend Wrap-Up….on a Tuesday

Thanks for all of your sweet comments on my new blog header. I think it turned out cute! And since we are supposed to get 6-12 inches of snow today, it seems appropriate.

I had Monday off of work which meant that I was too busy enjoying my freedom to sit down and write about the weekend. So here it is….weekend wrap-up on a Tuesday.
On Friday I had an unexpected half day of work…score! I didn’t do much other than take Wrigley to the dog park and then go to the gym. I went to bed really early because on Saturday morning I had to proctor a standardized test at my work. No fun at all! It was seriously the most boring thing ever. Then Saturday afternoon my in laws came in to town. We all had pancakes for dinner and then went to see Avatar, finally. It was a good movie but so long! I wish we would have rented it…that way we could have had an intermission! My neck and back were so sore from sitting that long and I had a major headache from the 3D glasses. Then on Sunday we went to church and then the husband and I lounged around and then watched the Superbowl. Well, he watched the Superbowl, and I did laundry and watched a few of the commercials…exciting, I know.
I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing weekend! If you don’t hear from me, send help…I may be buried in a foot of snow.

It really is true when they say the days are long It really is true when they say the days are long but the years are short. One day I’m struggling to carry two babies at a time while wrangling a toddler and then next minute they are all off to school and practices and friends’ houses. With all three kids in school we’ve been thinking a lot about their futures and how we are going to one day pay for college. We set up a Michigan Education Trust 529 plan for each of our kids when they were babies and I am SO happy we did! With a MET account, we can pay for future college tuition at today’s prices. With MET’s discounted age-based pricing the earlier you start, the more you are able to save! Plus grandparents and other loved ones can contribute to my kids’ accounts too! With MET you get back what you put in if your child chooses a different path and the money goes with you if your child goes to school out of state. You can even transfer it to immediate family members and all contributions to MET plans are tax deductible! To learn more about how to set up a MET account and the benefits of starting your child’s account early, check out my stories or the link in my bio. @mieducationtrust #sponsored #SETwithMET #MI529 #collegesavings #METSept2023
