So what's with the name?

Just in case someone was wondering as to the relevance of my Title.... There are a lot of things that I could file as good uses of my Million Dollars. But chances are, I won't be getting a sum like that in my days, so, I'll just stick to the stuff I can aim for :) Currently the kids, Jason and I are saving for a "backyard makeover." If one could call it that, I am not actually sure.... you see for it to be a "makeover" wouldn't that require that it had been "done-up" to begin?? I mean, unless we are going to take into account God's creation of this beautiful land, nothing besides the occasional annoying freeloader who decided to dump off his families trash for the year has been on the property for a very long time.... Very Annoying....!! But that is not what I was going to talk about here, really, I'm done venting about that matter :) Soooo...... Our Make over is going to be small, really small, but we have a large yard that is involved, so mostly it means contouring the land and planting lots and lots of grass! Most of the expense, however, is going to be in construction some sort of "play area" for the kids. Now, we've been looking around this whole time of saving up, about a year and a half and counting, and we have banned all thoughts of "Cheap Wal-Mart Metal and Plastic" from our minds. Mostly because we see those around and after a year or so I see quite a few of them rusting in our humid environment, but secondly, our oldest is almost as tall as me and only about 30 pounds lighter and he's only 9! Mind you, he's not over weight by the slightest, he is just very athletic, can carry a 50 pound bag of feed if I need him too and is finally getting some meat on his bones! So, he's perfect, in my eyes, but is going to require something a little less flimsy! The hunt continues, we've been looking at the sets at Costco, really nice and have a LOT of features for the price... I guess you could say they have a lot of bang for their buck, but this years model has decided to be absent of the one factor that my eldest daughter requested.....Monkey Bars! So, that pretty much squashed that idea! So, let's move on.... Lowes and Home Depot have similar "build it yourself" models and a few have been rather provoking lately to me, but they are still a little out of our budget if we want to have anything besides a few quarters left over for the grass.... Really nice sets, we just have to think a little bigger than some families considering we have 4 already and haven't decided to "stop" for sure yet, so that puts us in the more expensive size brackets.... Still haven't said no for sure yet on those yet.... but the idea sprung into my mind yesterday morning as I woke up bright and early, "Hey we did it before! Why not just be creative and build something entirely unique??" So, I am thinking we are going to go with that..... So, that name "If I had a Million Dollars," though it may change tonight, is somewhat in reference to the fact that a Million Dollars would make things a little easier to be less creative :) So, thank you God, for allowing me the chance to be creative! Really, I am not being sarcastic, you just have to learn to accept life's challenges, and make the best of it, right?! So, no moula, means I get to use my brain :) I like using my brain! I'll write more later about my actual thoughts regarding the "swing set of dreams!"
