My THOUSAND Dollar experiment....Day 16

Ok, here is day 16....$16,000....what's a girl to do? First off, I will surprise my old church with a donation toward a new organ that is badly needed. Who knows if they will use it toward that, but I will offer it to them anyway. Why am I giving to my old church? I don't know....they need it.

$14,400 is what is left for today. I am chomping at the bit for this one!! I am going to re-decorate my girl's room today. I am going to hire back Elizabeth for the girl's closet, get new windows, pull out the rug, get all new furniture, a very cool bunk bed with top of the line tempurpedic mattresses, 4 sets of brand new sheets, new baby mattresses (top of the line) a new crib for Bella, Princess netting to go over her bed, new paint including chalk board paint, since V likes to write on our walls! (ARGH!!) New dressers, everything custom designed for the room for girls (and one little boy who is with them) Maybe it will be a Princessy except for one corner, being his. It will take a lot of time and money since it will be custom made for mostly girls, but one boy. I will take some of the money, though and help pay down the Sienna we purchased. I think there is $30,000 left, so I will give $5000 toward it, so that would make it down to $25,000. Maybe I will knock most of it off on day 25. Who knows? Not to worry, another $1000 will be added to tomorrow's total anyway. :) Gotta run!
