The never ending...

credit card bill!

It seems like each month I pay off our credit card bills only to see that the following month we owe $1,500!

I'm looking for a good card that either gives cash back, has no interest rate, or offers some benefits.

What's shocking is that even though I don't maintain a balance on our cards I still tend to get plenty of offers. However, the credit limits on the cards are only going up to $2,500.

I think it's the economy and people have used their credit cards to float them during struggling times...

Thank God...

that tomorrow is the last day of work before I get a nice 4 days off!

These holidays have been going way too fast.

MUST.SCHEDULE.VACATION.SOON!

Get me out of here.

This is the time of year when I start craving a nice, sunny, beachy, vacation!

We talked about going to St. Thomas or St. Maarten's last night with C and L. Of course, we couldn't really agree on a destination and they only want to go to certain areas.

I might want to look into travel insurance because you never know when you might need it!

Out and about.

I've got to get out of the house. It seems like we've been spending tons of time at home. Emmy hasn't been sleeping good and we're just trying to get her back into the swing of things and also get her back on track with NAPS!

Today she's working on a 5 hour nap. WHy she can't sleep during the night time is beyond me?!

Almost 4.

I can't believe that this day four years ago my water broke and within 24 hours our little girl made her appearance.

It's really gone fast and there are so many things that I still can't wait to share and teach her.

Today we're off to the library to see the dollhouse exhibit. Tomorrow we're going to do sushi and another kid's birthday party.

Our girl's getting big!

Fatness.

I should have gone with the flow when I lost about ten pounds. I figured the momentum would help me to drop a few more pounds. Not so.

I'm at the point of looking for diet and medication alternatives and I've even looked at Leptovox.

It's a fat burner and it might just be the little bit that I need to get myself started to a thinner me!

Seven fish dinner.

I'm pretty psyched that tonight we're going over to Amy and Christine's house for a seven fish dinner. The past few years we've gone over every year and enjoyed delicious food and met up with really great people.

This year I'm sure will be no different.

I'm making my lox platter and I'm hoping that it will be done by this evening. Eek!

Move.

I've got to move it, move it.

When January 1st rolls around you can bet your bottom dollar that I'm going to get on a diet to lose these unwanted pounds.

It seems like the weight that I lost when my father passed away has somehow been gained back!

Maybe I'll look at a good diet pill to help me get a jumpstart!

The countdown...

has started til Christmas! I have two - half days left and then I'm off for a few days! Woo Woo.

To say the least...I'm exhausted and tired of work.

Plus, I really want to spend some time with my girls.

Maybe a little getaway?

Maybe the perfect gift this holiday would be to take Shawna away to the Westgate Planet Hollywood Tours. This would be our first getaway after Emmy was born and honestly a night away might make all the difference!

God knows we could both use a good night sleep and an adult conversation!

Christmas already?

I have absolutely no idea what to get Shawna. I asked her again this morning and she just replied clothes. Of course, we don't have the same taste and I'm a little scared that I'm going to pick something out and she's going to hate it.

I guess it's the thought that counts and anything I get her will be better than the dumpy flax and maternity clothing that she's wearing now!

I know we're paying too much...

but I've been too lazy to look around for a different car insurance.

When I was looking at my dad's finances I realized that on life, car, and house insurance he was getting better deals than me! We currently go through one of the big companies and it's been years since I've shopped around.

I used to think we got great deals because we purchased it all together...but now I'm not so sure.

Freaking out?

Okay, so we just put our house up for sale and we don't have another house?!

WTF are we thinking?

We are going to probably put in another offer to the house in Northeast and maybe this time their bitchy attorney will accept our offer!

Bugs.

It seems like our house always has spiders! The basement has become a safe haven for spiders everywhere and we have tons of cobwebs running in the beams.

At our last apartment we had terrible grain moths. I wish we would have purchased a pantry moth trap.

We found out after searching for weeks that they had been feeding on our rice. Eww.

To say the least we stayed away from rice for a long while.

Yikes.

I just looked at my timesheet and it looks like I need to put in more time. Of course, I'm royally screwed because it seems like there just isn't enough time in the day.

Tomorrow I'm dropping off G and then we have our adoption tomorrow afternoon.

Maybe I'll just stay late and work til our Christmas Party at 6:30.

Augh...why can't I be independently wealthy again?
