Work and Work and more Work

I agreed to work at the hospital three shifts this week.  Which means about 70 hours of work from Monday to Sunday.  I did it for two reasons  1) we need the money and 2) I love working there.  By picking up these two shifts I will be half way to paying off our bank loan.  Then I am going to start working on our a  credit card that has been driving me batty.  Student loans are something that we will take care of in the far off future.  Reason being mine may be taken care of depending on where I end up working. Somewhere in the middle of that we have some medical bills and a smaller credit card.

We decided this week we are not going to Hawaii. Instead we are going to visit Lee's brother and family.  I think the kids will have much more fun with their cousins then chilling on the beach.  I am still trying to work out the details. 

I am not looking forward to work this week.  There will be a huge announcement made tomorrow and I am pretty sure I am not going to like it.  Although we will see.  Plus I have to get my comps done.  Plus I am going to slowly working on getting ready for the garage sale.  We have tons of stuff we need to get rid of. 

Monday we are doing a night of services and Tuesday we are going to sushi and Thursday is a birthday party. Then I will work all weekend. 

I should be getting to bed.  The alarm is going to go off way to early.

    Haha- I just figured out that the reason I couldn't comment on your blog was because I wasn't actually "following" it. (At least I think that was the reason...)

    I'm glad you like working at the hospital...and that this 70 hour thing is short term! Enjoy sushi this week. Hope everything goes smoothly with the plans to come visit us :)

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

February

February was a tough month both mentally and financially.  The light at the tunnel was Phoenix.  Kids had a blast and it was great way to end an otherwise crazy chaotic month.  My goals were blah.  We paid off  more credit card debt then I though but I didn't sew as much as I wanted and I didn't run as much as I should have.  I also didn't read or declutter as much as I planned to.   Although I did reach my goal for losing weight.  So not a total loss. At some point I will file taxes and write a check to the state of Idaho.  I keep putting it off for several reasons.  At some point we will a check from FSA and our gap insurance.  Although a ten page EOB probably will take a while to get through. I think it was just one thing after another and I never felt like I gained my footing.  Maybe because I worked more.  Which lead to more in savings.  Still not where I want to be.  But better then it coul...

Family News

What a weekend.  I blew out a tire 5 minutes into the trip and then had to switch out vans we hit some snow but nothing major.  The kids had a blast playing with the boys and although the bishop spoke too long at the ceremony the wedding was nice.  The reception was nice and the kids ran around with their cousins and Lee and I were able to catch up with everybody on their lives.  I am glad our kids are older and don't need constant supervision.  Several of Lee's cousins have kids in the 12-24 months age range.  That age is so hard and there was no way they would be able to run around with out adult supervision.  It was nice to get some family news like one cousin is a polygamist and another is getting married very shortly.   Another is traveling the world and another has made their home in the mountains.  One cousin is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon and another is just trying to survive her husband's major depression.  Sev...
