Back to work!

Man how I enjoyed my 2 days off. It is sad to have to come back to work after lazing around! Just kidding. I wish I had time to laze around. Actually, I was pretty busy. I have been selling all of Jaida's old homeschool books on Amazon along with some of my college books, so I was back and forth to the library a few times. We also had to go grocery shopping, and I had to clean my house. Oh, not to mention homeschool Jaida and go get my books for school.
How come moms never really get a day off?
I can't say I don't love it though. For those 2 days, I get to spend ALL day with my babies. Last night, me and the kids snuggled on the couch and watched Percy Jackson 2. Jaida is obsessed with those movies. She is obsessed with Greek mythology period. It is part of her curriculum this year and she loves it so much, she has read almost ALL of the text book already. Maybe I should buy her the Percy Jackson books. And I will start looking for some Greek Mythology books. She also likes anything dealing with zombies. My weird little girl. I love her uniqueness!
I got a really exciting letter in the mail today. I was invited to go to New Zealand! I am totally not going, but its super cool I was invited. Maybe if I had the money, but its a lil too expensive. Also, maybe I would go if I didn't have kids.. but I really don't think I could be away from my kids for more than a week. I wouldn't even last a day. I would cry the entire time. The cool thing is that my bestest friend also go invited. Man, where was this opportunity 10 years ago before we had kids and could spread some major shenanigans?! Angela really wants to go. I hope she gets to! I could live vicariously through her. Other than that, nothing is really going on in the land of Summer. I am trying to stay busy so my 56 day wait doesn't seem like it will never come. I am also working REALLY hard to do my budget. I am just thankful that starting my next check 2 weeks from now, I will really be able to pay things off, instead of play catch up. Last check we were left with 80 bucks. This check, we were left with about $150. This next check will bring money into savings AND I will start paying off cards. I'm stupidly excited for this to happen!
Plus, I am loving the fact I have so many people coming to me for budget help. I have inspired so many of my friends to start budgeting and save money. All of us want to be debt free and have money in savings! (Unless your name is Angela and you like to shop online daily.. teehee!!!!  Not as if I am watching you do this at this very moment or anything!)

Here is my awesome letter:

I love my job. Well, sometimes I do. When I work with my awesome evening peeps, I LOVE it. There are some really awesome day shift people too, but I don't get to work with them like I do the evening crew. Plus, my BFF works evenings with me, and lets just be honest, we are the awesomest.

 

 

Until next time!
