Wednesday

I'm still alive. Just lazy. Give me a little more time and I'll be back. Don't worry, I'm still reading y'all's blogs. I'm just too lazy to comment as well. Just a brief summary of the past few days:

Saturday, October 17th - Made $100 at yard sale. Spent $60 taking the family out to Mexican dinner. $9.25 of that was kid's drinks.

Sunday, October 18th - typical Sabbath day. Church, rest, and attended a baptism.

Monday, October 19th - my husband's second day of work. Yes, that's right, my husband has a real job after 370 days of unemployment. And I would say it's a pretty good job. He will be earning the same salary that he was before, but with better health benefits. After we get a paycheck, I'm going to find a babysitter and enjoy a dinner out with my husband alone so I can have a conversation without interruption and not have to cut someone's food with their sticky fork. I can't wait. I still have more to write about the whole unemployment and job search thing, but I'm just too fatigued to do so right now.

Tuesday, October 20th - survived the day with my husband at work and fell asleep on the couch while watching TV at night.

Wednesday, October 21st - about the same as Tuesday, except I cleaned out the freezer today. Too bad it's an accomplishment that isn't that noticeable. I made French toast with an old deformed loaf of bread that was in there. It was a big hit for dinner. Rachel loved it. I also made smoothies with some vanilla yogurt and rasberries and blueberries that I bought and froze 2 summers ago. It all tasted good. Now I need to empty the bathroom trash cans because they are overflowing since I haven't emptied them in like a month. Tomorrow is trash day.

My poor camera's memory card is so empty right now :(

  3. Hooray for the yard sale and for the job. Sounds like a pretty good dinner for stuff out of the freezer. (I'll have to post a blog about that sometime- with pictures of the kids eating cornbread, nuts, other misc. items and beans from the garden. Such happy faces...) Hooray for health insurance.

  4. Ha, I love that you made $100 at the yard sale then spent most of it on dinner. Thats totally something I would do.

    P.S. Congrats on a job that is better than the previous one! According to statistics you guys are super lucky. Most people are still making 20% less 5 years after getting laid off.
