Lea get your booty in here!

I was starting to think you didn't love me anymore!  Sniff sniff!  We are all doing good just been so busy and hectic the past few weeks.  Hopefully things will settle a little bit once my training is over and I get my schedule (it will vary though).  How are you guys?  LOVE the new siggy.  I can't believe how big they are getting.

As Dave says, I am a SAHM who works 34 hours a week! I hear ya, life has been CRAZY! I love YOUR new picture, the boys are so freaking adorable!

So what ese has been up? Did S find a job?

LOL that's what I've been saying!  I did work 34 hours this week, but after this week I'll only be working somewhere between 20 and 29 which isn't bad at all.

 He hasn't found one yet   but he is still looking and we are even considering moving.  He got a lead on a job in another city so that's a possibility right now.  If we move and he gets a really good job then I'm going back to school.  Right now we are just playing everything by ear and taking it day by day.

Just think, as sucky as this is right now, it was almost a blessing. S can find a great job, you may be able to go back to school. It sucks now, but it will be great! I hope he finds something soon!

I work Thurs-Mon nights. 2 days of a week! But, I am home all day, and then Dave has worked his schedule out so that he is home at night. We have a sitter one night a week when we both are working. It is working out night right now and we love the extra money!

It was really hard at first to think of this as a blessing, but honestly I'm seeing it more and more in that way.  Not only is he not at a job that he hates anymore, but I might be able to go back to school (sooner than later), he will get a job he loves, we will have extra money (we don't now but with my salary and his unemployment we can pay bills), and our kids are still home with us (nothing against daycare at all it's just not what we want personally).  I'm continuing to believe that this will work out.  And we did have to cancel our cruise, but we have made a promise to ourselves that within a year (assuming of course that we have the finances) that we will book another cruise and it will be longer and on a newer ship   So anyway things aren't perfect here but they could be much worse.

 All that being said I'm going to spend some time with the boys before I have to leave for work.  It was good to catch up a little!  Hopefully I'll "see" you soon.
