Must prepare

We leave for Michigan next Sunday morning for the week. I must figure out what all we're doing so I know what to pack. I just know I'm going to have to buy things so I hope I can squeeze out a litlle shopping money without feeling guilty.

Side note: DH did the last of the official crap for unemployment today. Looks like we'll get his first "paycheck" Wednesday. Totally sucks that it's at least 20% of his weekly pay, but I guess it's something. Still no jobs in the field so he's meeting with BIL's friend who has a bail bonds biz in our town. Just what I wanted him to do. ::eye roll::

awesome

DH works out of state during the week. Well, a couple weeks ago they said the plant didn't need his contracting company anymore (because they are trying to cut expenses) so he was moving back, waiting for his company to relocate him. Our state was the most likely possibility. So he moves back last night all set to go to the office today to see where he's been relocated to. All the open positions require a special pass in which he applied for last week. It's a government-issued card, so guess how long that's going to take? Surprisingly only 2-4 weeks, which means we're shit outta luck for about 2 weeks. Joy. I'm so frickin glad we've been saving up lots of money the past couple of months. I hope we don't use up too much. I just hope they can place him as soon as he gets his card. Effin B.S.

Garage sale SCORE!!!

We had a garage sale at my cousin's house Friday and Saturday. It was 4 families. We totalled almost $2,000! DH and I collected about $330. I'm so excited! All that for crap that was laying around the house, not getting used. We're putting it in our baby fund!
