My husband has been working since April for a property managment company that also flips houses - he's a carpenter. It is steady, 40 hours a week, four 10 hour days. I am so so thankful that he's working and off of unemployment. For anyone who thinks people actually like being on unemployment need to get their head checked, that sh*t is stressful and I would choose a working husband vs. a stay at home husband anyday. Thankfully we are all caught up and can work on paying off some random medical bills and old accounts.
We are a one-car fam by choice now. I use the car on Friday if the kids need to go to the doctor or dentist or I need to run errands. Three of my crew are starting school in less than two weeks. I have one going into 6th grade, one going into 3rd, and my girlie starts Kindergarten this year. I'll be home with three toddlers, holy crap. I hope I stay sane!
I am getting my Bachelor's in Accounting right now but it is all online so I do it at my own pace. It's an accelerated program so I can graduate sooner and get to work when the twins are pre-school aged.
So, things are good. We are just trying to stay afloat. Life is crazy but good.

That is such good news and I know that has to be a good feeling. I can totally relate to the stress of unemployment and the exhilaration when it's over and a paycheck is coming in! It's so exciting to be able to breath a little easier knowing now you can pay some things off. Way to go momma on working towards the accounting degree with three LO's at home with you all day!
