been awhile
July 6th, 2006 at 01:25 pmWOW!! We have had some major things happen since my last post here. We lost $300 a month income. Doesn't seem like alot but it was totally unexpected - so it threw us for a loop. Basically Ef has nothing in it now. Starting from scratch there.
Also had to pay homeowners insurance and it tripled what it did last year.
So what's the old saying 2 steps forward 10 steps back. That's how I feel right now. We will get through this - I know we will!! It's just going to be a tight month.
Going through the pantry/freezer - making a list of all the meals we have in there.
Also need to start making a school list of things we must have before school starts. Hoping the school has a saxophone we can rent from them - $40 for the year - right now we are paying rent of $40 a month! Hoping to eliminate that - yes we could buy one outright but dson isn't sure he wants to continue on with it after this year.
Our above ground pool has a huge hole in the liner - so that's unusable now. Don't want to put $$ out for a new liner.
So the a/c is back to 78 - trying to keep us cool.
Gonna start working 40 hours a week. It's gonna be hard at first - but I know I can do it and it will help so much! I am quite fortunate that I work from home and can grab more hours if needed or less if that's what's needed at the time.
Have a great day!
