Hubby got the call today... he got his job!! Major high going on in our house! You see, we haven't been able to sit down and eat as a family in, oh, about 6 months (except on a few rare occasions where we met him for lunch and then headed to Subway on his lunch break). Also, he'll work 2 Saturday's in a roll (8a-Noon) and then he'll be off for 4 PLUS Sundays off PLUS a$3 pay increase. The in-laws aren't too happy because he just quit his old job, w/ my blessing I may add. He's been walked all over, screwed, and then hung out to dry too often w/ his old job... he was seriously unhappy (which spilled over into every area of his life), and combined w/ the fact that we never saw each other, yeah it was pretty lousy.
Tonight my SIL and I went to Wal-Mart, and while we were going through check out, I saw someone had laid down the new clinical-strenght deoderant. I realized that I forgot to get new deo (Dove just does not cut it in the summer), so I decided that I would try it out. It rang up and I literally had to pick my jaw up off of the floor....$7.00. Needless to say, I had the cashier remove it from my stash of stuff... and I still need to pick up deo when I head to Target tomarrow to get my Frebreeze Scent Stories thingamajigger for $12!

Happy 4 Year Anniversary
This past week has been a struggle to say the least, luckily it's ending better than it started.
The ending has been so nice I'll start there :) just because I can. Thursday was Shawn's and my 4th anniversary. Never has he been able to keep a secret, so I was pleasently suprised when he told me to go home and change out of my scrubs for dinner that night. We (Shawn, Mikey, and myself---yes we took the little guy... even though my mother in law had agreed to babysit) proceeded to go downtown to a fabulous Italian restaurant in the arena district. Bucca de something... I still can't get it right. Fabulous food, blew Olive Garden outta the water on the Italianess. Then we decided to go see Spiderman 3... good movie, but it druuugggg on way too long.
Friday, I worked a health fair, then came home and ate the goodness of left overs...always a good thing. That afternoon I went w/ hubby and the FIL to church to watch them and 2 other guys lug a baptistry up the stairs and into the sanctuary. Yeah, they're a lot bigger than they seem when they're installed. Later, another couple and myself went to eat Mexican. Ymmm. Entertainment was provided by a woman throwing a fit over not getting her salsa and a side of pico de galo costing .85, and her son banging on the window. Soon the entertainment ended when a cop showed up. (Oh, and Shawn had an interview that day... he has a second interview on Tuesday w/ them coming to him for a lunch meeting, since hubs only has an hour off that day. Good sign? I think so!)
Yesterday and today I haven't done too much... yet. I'm getting ready to clean the dining room really well, then steam clean the carpet. Fun. I know. can'tyoutelltheexcitement?
All this after a hummdinger of a week.
14 $25 non-sufficient funds penalties really hurts the checking account. My hubby authorized a gas payment to be electronically drafted from our account nearly 3 weeks, yeah it just got taken out on Tuesday, causing our bank account to go into a tailspin. Luckily the bank was merciful when we talked to them, and they reversed all of the fees that were incurred on $10 or less transactions. So that took it down about half way. It's no fun stressing about money, and how you're going to get what you need, stuff like food and gas... yeah, luckily that's all straightened out now. God is good though, and we didn't have to do w/o. :)
