Wow, it's only 6:00 PM, and I feel like I am already ready for bed! I just have been excessively busy all day today...and it was supposed to be my "relax day",
hahha!!!
I have been dealing with bills pretty much all day...UGH! NO FUN AT ALL!!! I have medical bills coming out my ears, and then more came in today. I want to burn them all, but instead I sat and wrote checks for most of the afternoon... I have also been working on our taxes again; Jamie forgot to claim quite a bit this year and last year, so I am doing the
amendments; what a pain in the butt!!! I wish they were done right the FIRST time; it would have saved me HOURS of my time...(Jamie, I'll beat you for this later!)
Also, the house offer did not go through, so I am back at square one. I am starting to get a bit frustrated with this whole house-hunting issue. It was fun at first, now it is like a never-ending chore, and I am ready to be DONE with it!!! I will start looking again soon, but for now my schedule is too busy to fit in any house hunting time...
argh!!!
Well, I also had to run some errands. I went to the post office to mail out our mother's day gifts and cards (for the out-of-
staters, others to be mailed later, and hopefully I don't forget!!!). I went to
Wal-Mart for diapers and wipes, and decided to try the Parent's Choice brand rather than
Huggies and
Pamper's sensitive wipes...I'll tell ya what I think once we try them...I'm nervous; I have totally LOVED the
Huggies Natural Fit diapers (about $22/box) and
Pamper's Sensitive Wipes ($12/box). It did save me $14 though, so that is a bonus! I had to go and get my license sticker as well; what a
freakin' JOKE! The lady was going to charge me $98 for being a DAY late, when there is clearly a sign posted that the late fee is assessed after 30 days...so frustrating. Oh, and she said I didn't renew last year, which I did. She said I
would have to pay an extra $29.00 for new plates! I fought her on it, and turns out I was right...BITCH, she never even
apologized! Oh well, people irritate me right now.
When I got home, it was time for Rowan to eat. He is cutting molars, so getting him to eat is no easy task. It took quite a while, and he still didn't eat much. In the mean time, I worked on meals for this week.
Then it was closet time; I cleaned out my closet, and discovered that I am in worse shape than I thought! I have, maybe, 4 outfits to wear this summer. I wish we just had hundreds of dollars for me to buy some new clothes; unfortunately, it isn't going to happen...I will spend the summer looking much like a rag doll.
I did get Rowan some new summer clothes today though, ya know, take care of the baby first!
LOL Moms out there, you know what I am talking about. I next tackled his closet; he has so many clothes it's pathetic, but not many for this season. I boxed up all of his 12 month clothes, and many of the winter clothes, though I kept out a bunch for those
in between days (Illinois weather here folks!).
I also spent hours switching pictures over to
artscow.com from
snapfish.com. I called Walgreen's to see if they would price match for me (they did last time!!!); however, she said even with me printing OVER 500 pictures, I would have to pay 15 cents per print...needless to say, the photos are put on the
back burner for now; we just don't have it to spend!
Our finances are really stressing me out right now. Part of me feels like I NEED to get a job in order for us to make ends meet. It's sad really; I mean, here my husband is, busting his ass for his family, in Iraq, and we are struggling the way we are. I am just fed up with it. All these athletes, actors, politicians, etc. are making BILLIONS a year doing pretty much nothing. Why is it that our military is so freaking
under payed? Can someone please answer this for me? I am not trying to live some extravagant life style; I clip coupons to save a nickel, I buy generic, I grocery shop at
Aldi's, and we are living with my aunt paying no rent and very little in utilities. Why then are we struggling so damn much??? PLEASE ANSWER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
