Well it just went back to last years post after the holidays and it’s got to be just me. I am so bummed out and not even wanting Christmas this year. I’m trying hard because I know it rubs off on the kids. But I’m just so broke. Last year at this time we were both going into the transition of new jobs and I was just leaving the gym that I worked way too many hours for little pay. But the good thing about that gym was I had a steady income. In a way I miss that, but there is no way I can be at work worrying about my kids being home. I can’t put those kind of hours in.

Well I make no bones about finances around here. I don’t hide from it. We’ve made stupid decisions here and there and we’re always trying to recover from them. Unfortunately the thing is, we still like to go play and have fun, so we can’t stick to a budget very well. We are doing much better now that hubby gets paid once a month, but my finances are still crap since my checks are sporadic. Oh well, such is life. I have to be able to write my own schedule since hubby is gone for 24 hours at a time.

UGH, did I really schedule 3 early mornings this week? I sure did. I’m such a sucker. <sigh> Tomorrow I get paid for my earliest morning. She’ll be buying 12 more sessions so that will get me through the rest of the months bills. Then I can start stressing about next month. Never ending cycle and it sucks.

I make no bones about loving ebooks. I have a book closet, but when I’m in the mood to just veg out and do nothing, I swear I’ll have gone through them without knowing it. ARGHH, totally frustrating. This is why I love ebooks. I pay for them and then download them immediately. We are such products of immediate demand.
Typically when I buy ebooks I’m buying something specifically written for the internet. But at Books on Board I can have my favorite Romance Novels by my favorite authors! SWEET! Add the fact that I now have a laptop and can just read them on my computer in bed and why in the world am I buying paperbacks anymore?

Well it’s finally getting done. We got the tree decorated early today. I bought some rock candy lights and they are kind of crazy. lol But they are bright and I’m all about lights.
Then I told the kids to clean up all their stuff while we went to the gym so the decorations could go up. They actually did! Amazing! So I took out the boxes of decorations and they did it all. I haven’t touched a single one. Why did I wait so long to do that? Every year it’s been me having to put everything out and I wasn’t looking forward to it this year. But low and behold I have years ahead of not having to do it at all anymore. WOOHOO, I’ll take advantage of that thank you.

I watch Dr. 90210 and I don’t know why. It’s like one of those things that you can’t quit watching. lol This season they have had a few about vagina cosmetic surgery. Of course they don’t show much but that only hits my curiosity even more. Just how much too big are they that they feel the need to have them reconstructed? There’s no way I can hit this topic without TMI, so I’ll leave it as alone as possible. lol But you know after kids things just aren’t ever the same.

I’ve got to be. I can’t get through 5 minutes without wanting to or actually crying. I hate it when this symptom happens. It doesn’t hit all the time anymore. I think my hormone’s may be getting some what closer to being stable. You know the baby is only going to be 10 in Feb. lol Maybe by the time I hit menopause it will be just like it was before the kids?

Well I sit here up late, yet again. That is not abnormal for me, but my feelings about it have been for months. I’m lonely. I’m also not the only firefighters spouse in the world. I’m thinking a new blog may come from this. It’s one I’ve actually looked at the domain for, so we’ll see. I’m just trying really hard not to buy anymore domains and start anymore sites or blogs. lol
But here is my problem. My blogs are making me much more money than anything else at this time. And the more productive my blogs are, the more help I can afford to hire to make my other sites work. I know the sites will be where the true big money is at.

Well this is morning number 3 this week of getting up early. I have been dragging butt these last two days. Umm, wonder if it has anything to do with staying up too late and having a couple of beers? UGH, gotta stop that! It’s not fun trying to be perky in the morning when you just want to lay down on one of the mats and go to sleep like a kindergartener. lmao

Hmm, I choose none. Oh, I forgot, I live in the real world sometimes and not just my private dreamland. lol I do like to live on the river denial and you can come stay on my yacht there anytime you like. There is plenty of room and I have a maid, chef’s and many pool boys. No pool, but they serve us drinks with little umbrella’s in them.
But I guess since I live in the real world I have also learned to live with credit cards. We went quite a few years without any new credit cards as we worked hard to get out of debt. But things come up and it’s just necessary for emergencies.
