b-i-l came over last night to show us his birthday present. a 2003 Envoy (4 wheel drive suv). When he left hubby and I both said, hope he can afford it. Supposedly he makes in the neighborhood of $2000 a month on one job and the other is $8 an hour part time. sooo maybe he can afford it. His history is to party and miss around and spend all of his money on food and alcohol. In other words to not pay bills. I am happy for him, really I am...we both are, just worried. He has to pay rent every two weeks also...Personally I would have moved first, got a non dumpy house and moved. I hear his wife talk about replacing their xbox, getting new computers...I hope he knows what he is doing. I hope he saves some back. Please do not think bad of me by talking about him, I am just concerned. I don't want to see him have to give up his new vehicle...well, I hope he gets to move soon, their apartment is so nasty....anyway I do love them and do wish the best for them and hope their good fortune continues.

not much to tell, we had a great weekend. Hubby went to a friends house Sat. (2pm-8pm) my daughter and I went to yard sales..etc. We had a good Saturday. Sunday, we went to see hubbys brother..we went out to eat and visited. It was a good day too. I work today for four hours and then off for three days.

not much else going on.....later

well I found out we are not getting our federal tax money untill June 30th Anddd Bushes money comes July 4th. it sucks becouse my husband and daughters birthday are both at the end of May. I will probably be broke then! There is a rummor that if you made more than $4000 last year you only get $300 from Bush instead of $600.

I have a I learned the hard way piece of advice...I do incourage anyone and everyone to go to college but heres my lesson...If you go do not get a student loan, and if you do do not default on it. Make all payments. When you get out of college you may not get a dream great job right away so please make sure you can afford the payments. Why, you ask??????? If you default, forever and a day it can come out of your income tax!!!!!!!!!!! And if you are married, the spouse has to file an injured spouse paper (no I am not in a wheel chair, damn Jackson Hewett) it is to protect me and not have my money go to my husbands bill. and it takes up to 11 weeks to process this...thus getting our money June 30th. I hate waiting!!! ANDDD I hope I get all MY money. He was suppost to pay and that was subtracted from what I got back. $3157 is not bad. My husband went to a technical college. (electronics) he was valadictorian. He is smart..He did not get a super job out of college and through being young and dumb we just did not pay. ok, now ya know, my credit suckssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not much else up..I spent my share of the state money, had fun!! I got us a good coffee table for $7 at a yard sale!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow is brother in laws birthday so we are going to spend some time with him later today......

when I was a child/teen 100 dollars went far. I could spend on it for days. Now it lasts five minutes. Today we got our state income tax. $268. after we put $40 in the gas tank my husband and I split what was left. I was excited about having extra money that did not go to bills. My husband said, I'll buy lunch, and eventually spend it. I bought milk and cat food and spent $12. years ago I'd have five or six items for the same cash. Money does not go far these days. I hope becouse we got our state money that federal is right around the corner. I will go to Wal-Mart after work and in an hour or so the money will be a memory.

My other non pregnant female is in heat. Soooo we had to do something. The two male cats are outside only cats. They misbehave all the time. We are getting Mary Jane spayed asap!!!!!!!! We are just waiting on our income tax. The two guys will stay outside.. It is not going well at the moment, but we have to start somewhere. The next step is the humane society or just give the away. We will give this some time first.

later
