Wishy-Washy

I am so disappointed by my expectations for yesterday.  The day in which I thought was the end of the tunnel.  HA!  It now seems like we are really just at the beginning of the tunnel and our journey has really just begun.  

We heard zero about our counter offer on the house.  Which really doesn't mean anything until we hear back from the realtor.  Not good or bad just waiting.  Story of my life.  Just waiting. 

Mark went to Melbourne yesterday and the "interview" was just that, an interview.  We thought via the friend the job was Mark's if he wanted it.  Yesterday the HR lady was very wishy-washy is the best way to describe it.  Asked Mark when he could start and then had the attitude that we might not hire you by then.  Mark was in his truck for over 5 hours yesterday.   

So, the kids saw him when he finally got home at 3:30 in the afternoon.  He had left before the kids got up.  They are so used to him being home.  They ran out to see him and as we where walking up to the house (still in the yard) the phone started to ring.  I answered it and it was a company in Alabama that he applied for in November.  ANYWHO, long story short they are flying him to Alabama Tuesday afternoon to interview Wednesday.  This is a job that their job post and Marks resume look just alike.  Everything they want, he has the experience.  

I interviewed for a hourly teaching job Friday and I have heard nothing from the school.  Which is fine. I really don't want to work. I'm just telling the truth.  If I have to I will, I just don't want to. Hard to commit to a job if Mark is leaving town.  Where would Alex and Nathan go during the day?  I don't want to take a job I would have to quit.  AH HUM BUG!  

So, our limbo continues.

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

True Friends

I am on Facebook daily and love flair.  I had a local friend send me flair that said , " True friendship isn't being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."  I'm hoping that once I leave this area I have many friends that are true friends.  This post is an ode to such a friend.  One friend of mine moved away many years ago and I realized the other night that she is that just that friend.  It doesn't matter if time or many miles separates us she is a true friend.  I realized after a long conversation on the phone with that person (her mostly listening) that I have a gem of a friend and I am so grateful for her.  I just wanted to send out a shout to that person, you know who you are and let you know I think your the best!   Maybe one day God will let us live in the same city.   It is funny as you get um... well.... older you start to have friends all over the country.  I do have many friends all over the place and each of you are special to me.  ...

Intentional Spending

I first want to say I am not cheap!  I don't buy the cheapest item just because I want to save money.  I do like finding a good deal on things that are high quality.  I don't like sacrificing quality for price.  I try to never pay full price for anything.   When I say our spending it intentional what I mean is that Mark and I sit down around November and hash out the budget.  Some things are constants in the budget.  Mortgage, phone, insurance pretty much stay the same.  Some vary like gas, water, electric.  After years of budgeting we can average out what we spent the year before and add if needed to the new budget.   Here is what we do know we have to pay something first so they go in the budget first.  Then what is "leftover" is up for dividing.  This is not a fool proof plan. Medical never gets budgeted enough money.  Which is why you should have a savings account.  Every category gets a set amount of money tha...
