After what seems like an eternity of talks, it would seem Barack interceded on our behalf. (Because he obviously is an avid reader of my blog) The IRS finally found our tax transcripts and sent them to the bank and to us. Which means you guessed it, we now have a car payment. (That can be taken good or bad, you decide) To make things official (its just a figure of speach) we also made out first payment.
And now other important pressing stuff....
FINALLY!!! Country Thunder is over! Its only 4 days of drunken slobs. (Me, I wanted to boycott it I just couldn't get anyone to join me) It rained all day Saturday and made a muddy mess for all those that were camping out. Unfortunately, it mentioned a lot of mud to clean up (People wanted me to share in the experience, because I was wishing for so much rain that everyone would have to leave and the whole event would be canceled)
Oh, about two weeks ago I decided that I am DONE! Done with what exactly? Well done with working two jobs of course. Now I realize that nearly everyone reading this is not privy to wims of my mind so I will give some shady background to fill you in...
It came to my attention that in order for us to maintain our current lifestyle (although its not the envy of the world) it would cost an obscene amount of cash each week.
I found myself with two options...
Option one -- try to get a substantial raise from one of my employers and quit the other J.O.B. The furthest this got me was an agreed upon salary plus gas reimbursement. Which helps but didn't get me close enough.
Option two -- Find a new source of employment. This one is harder and takes longer so an update will come when I have new developments.
Even more news...(See this is what happens when I forget I have a blog)
The book series I am reading (Percy Jackson) ....
I have just finished the fourth book and am about to start what I preceive to be the final book. Things have been building to an epic battle from the first book, with little mini-Odyssey style adventures throughout the other books. Where fate of the olympian gods and the free world hanging in the balance against the greatest evil the world has ever known. All hanging in the hands of a 16 year old kid. Gee, I wonder how it all turns out. :Ō
Like you I am tired of working all the time (2 jobs). Good luck with downsizing to 1. I don't see that happening anytime in my future:( I'm glad things worked out with your new van:)
