Pool House

Alright! So I think we have decided as a family to rent a pool home for a week when we go to Florida. It seems to be the cheapest way to go and we will have the entire place and THE POOL to ourselves. I love to swim but didn't get a lot of time in while we were in St. Louis cuz the pools are ALWAYS packed. It's no secret that I am NOT a size 2 so I don't really care to parade around in my swim dress! As for Sam (Dean's daughter) she is a size 2 and will be going with us so maybe I won't get much swim time in this year either!

I have really started to make plans for this trip and I hope to heck we can afford to go. There is always a financial crisis and I am starting to feel the heat from Christmas already. I have got to find a way to fill our propane tank (which will cost AT LEAST 500.00) so we don't freeze to death this winter. Right now, we have VERY minimal groceries. Mainly my fault cuz I forgot about a bill that was being deducted DIRECTLY from my checking account this time. Sooooo Tuesday can't come quick enough.

Dean has developed a small business (well not really...but seems like it) on the side fixing computers for people. U'd be surprised at how many people have trouble with their computer and can't figure out how to fix it. I wish this little business would show ME the money!

I want to give up my 2nd job but I can't! Financially we (ummm I mean I ) can't afford it. Dean doesn't care if the kids have any presents at Christmas or not. He would just rather spend the money on computer parts! Me? I would LOVE to be able to buy the kids their Ipods that they have been wanting and that would come in REAL handy when we go to Florida!

The next big thing for me is this tv we sent in (which was stupid, I knew I couldn't afford it when I sent it in) will be ready soon and it will cost me 350.00 to get it fixed. Dean already paid 60.00 so really it has cost us a little over 400.00 to get the dang thing fixed. We have a 55 inch projection screen and when something goes out.....we usually have to sell a limb to pay for it! Sad thing is, it is only about 6 years old! UGH!

Welp, I think I am gonna throw myself in bed for an hour or so till I have to drag Andy out of bed for the day!
