Gosh darnit! They were supposed to go back today, but mother nature intervened! She sent a lovely sheet of ice to keep those little varmits home again! I still had to go to work though, but they sent me home early. I am glad for the money, but what a pain, to get ready, get there and then get sent home.
Anyway, here is what has been happening in boo world lately for those uh, maybe 3 people that follow my blog! ....
I finished the part time job. If I ever try to work retail at Christmas again, push me off a roof! Ugh! Christmas was good, under control, most everything paid for in cash except for what hubby bought me and show tickets for the girls.
Still have not found a full time job... most days I am just thankful to HAVE a job. Now I just have to do my best to use this money wisely. Not my best quality.
Debt is up to around $66,000. Makes me want to throw up. Nuff said about this for now.
DH is going to quit his job and follow my brother in law to his new business. Another thing that makes me want to throw up. I am scared to death.
We had to bury a very good friend of 30 years two days after Christmas. Please, live life, laugh and love your family and your friends. Don't hold back on this! It has been heartbreaking and soul searching... again, nuff said.
DH is still letting me juggle the bills. Times are so tight, the kids are great at pitching in. We are still at an impasse. Until he starts the new job, I have no idea what kind of budget to make. I am just doing my best.
Well, long it is! But that was my holiday in a nutshell. I am looking forward to a successful 2009. I am 20 pounds down in weight and looking forward to dumping the last 15!!
When will these kids go back to school?? And a catch up!

Sorry for all that is so hard right now.
Definitely congrats on the weight loss!

Did your husband discuss quitting his job and starting a new business with you??
Check out today.com for a possibility of bringing in a little more income. It wouldn't be much . . but may be enough for a couple days of groceries.
Hope you're able to find a full-time job soon.
