Our life seems to just be one stress after another. I'm not even kidding. I'm trying to just remember EVERYTHING that's gone on in just the last week.
- Because of work cutting Gregg's hours money was tight for a while. Then his hours got bumped back up and I thought we were in the clear , so I bought Zoe some clothes she desperately needed with the weather getting cooler and ALL her clothes being short sleeved. Long story short we ended up being super tight on money still. Luckily my parents loaned us some money so we could eat that week. {I promise we'll pay you back.}
- A week later rent was due. We paid rent. I saved my check JUST so we could pay rent and have enough money to eat and pay bills. They didn't take the money out {until today , 2 weeks later.} and then we thought we had more time to pay school bills , but we didn't. So all the money we JUST spent on rent {we thought} got pulled out for school. Now we're in trouble because someone didn't get paid a LARGE amount of money and we're going to get over drafted big time because of it. Luckily Gregg's parents loaned us money again so we wouldn't be over-drafted. {so yeah , we're in debt BIG money. Just to our parents. Let's not even think about school loans that we're about to take on. }
- Did I mention that the SAME week that the School pulled out money that we had saved for rent , and putting us in a horrible money situation , Gregg decided to get strep throat? Of course the company we work for cut him off of insurance , so now we were going to have to pay for a visit to the doctor. Which if you're keeping up with this , we can't afford. So some of the money Gregg's parents loaned us went towards a doctor visit AND groceries, and Rent, which if you remember from reading just got pulled out yesterday.
- Then our change oil light came on . WHAT. THE. HECK. ?!?! so there's another $50 that we had to throw out the window.
- Then on Monday we get a call from Gregg's manager saying that Gregg had a meeting with his Associate Director at work because he's shown up late for work a lot. Which most of the time is my fault because I get off of work when he needs to show up for work. So I'm freaking out because usually when the Associate Director talks to you , you're either getting fired or suspended , and we NEED that money. So I go into meltdown mode. I'm obviously the reason my husband is going to get fired.{ he didn't if you're wondering. }
On a positive note , I feel like Gregg and I handled everything pretty great. I don't think we fought once during all these things popping up. It used to be that it probably would cause issues. So to keep up with the positive things going on in our lives.
- Gregg is starting to apply for internships. This is good because sometimes it feels like Gregg is going to be in college FOR.EV.ER. Internships mean we're actually getting somewhere. This makes me one happy camper. It's good to know that all this frustration is actually getting us somewhere.
- Zoe is learning lots of things. Gregg taught her to say "oh ho." Her face and the way she says it is hilarious.
- I guess it's a good point for me now. I love my calling. Also I've been working a lot lately , but at least I get a week long "vacation" soon and get to go hang out with my In-laws over Halloween. I'm pretty excited about it.
- The best part ? WE GET 3 PAYCHECKS IN NOVEMBER !! I really couldn't be more excited.
