You sound like you have a great plan! This may sound funny, but true in my case anyways...the shorage of money that my family and myself are having right now, has actually brought us closer, I guess it is because we have to find other ways to have fun...walks, the park (we walk) my h is now babysitting our 3 year old GD (he doesnt have school for the summer) and it will not only bring in a little bit of money...but the greatest gift is...they will bond!!! Yesterday I was working..and this is something new for my h...he babysat our 3 year GD and he washed her hair...took her to the park, read a book to her...he has never been close with any of the grand children...So I guess what I am saying is that not having money can, sometimes be a blessing..
In a bit of a rut...Things are going Ok but I feel that we are slipping back to old behaviors again. Maybe its just me but it seems to me that I am back runnind D everywhere and H is not helping out with that. Granted H is helping out in other areas so the balance is still there to a point.
I am still working on getting out to meet new people, that actually is not that hard with D in track and softball. One of D's friends moms I find really cool, she has the same outlook on life that I do, when we do get together and talk it seems like we laugh the whole time. It's nice to have some body like that around again. The girlfiend who I am standing in her wedding I seem to have to edit what I say around her alot, lets face it I work with a bunch of guys and it has rubbed off on me. But I am still looking for more companionship other that the few people that I have met latly, my thought is you can never have too many friends.
Back to H...Got a bit off track there sorry. Like I said before it seems that we are falling back into old habits to a point. Nothing like it was before. I don't ever want it to get to that point again. What kind of things do any of you do when you think you are stuck like I think I am?
Story time...H is going to be an observer on a pro fishing boat this weekend. The meeting for that was last night at the hotel where all the guys are staying at. Who does he run into there, OW...RRRRRR...H was up front about it and told me the mintue that he got home. I was OK with it all, trust me if I can bowl with her on the same league as me for two years I am so over it now. But one thing that she told him was that she was still sorry that she let him go. This still reenforces the thought that I had when I got H back after his A, that I got him back because she didn't want him anymore. But H still tells me that he was the one that broke it off with her, anyhow we are still together and that is all that matters.
The whole money thing seems to work out everyone to my amazement. I guess I should just trust that things will work out OK.
H went to the Dr last week about his bum knee. Problems going back to HS days, and just plan genes. A couple of years ago he had a scope done and at that point Dr. told him that he has replaced knees that look better than H's, but because H was not even 40 at the time Dr was not going to do it H is too young. Well after this last appt Dr told him about a new type of knee replacment that he would be able to do on H now. Well H does not want to have it done until the fall, summer is way to busy time of year, and with all the projects that we have started there would not be a good time. So Dr is trying to make him as comfortable as possible through the summer to get to Oct. Also where H works the local contract has not been agreed to yet so he does not want to be out for 4-6 weeks with having a local contract. And the money thing, I told H that I would be good with having two months of house payments and two months of a term loan that we have saved up and in the bank, this gives us the time to get that money put away just in case we need to dip into it while he is off. He will get short term disablity so we are not going to be with out his pay check, but a smaller one than his normal 40 hour check.
But I am still looking for more companionship other that the few people that I have met latly, my thought is you can never have too many friends.
