The Money Pit

You work,
You spend,
The cycle never ends.
The more I make,
The more "they" take,
I need to save-
A seemingly impossible concept to grasp;
Especially while renovating a new home!
Now I know why they call homeownership a money pit!
It doesn't even compare to the pit in my stomach...
That's life:
Now if you'll excuse me,
I've got to get to work!

Covered In Paint

Dip,

Roll,

Brush slow.

Splattered paint in my hair;

My clothes look like a college art exhibit.

The once hideous walls are now like new!

It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do.
