6/4/09 Day 1 of Summer Vacation…

Posted by lizhealthymom on June 4th, 2009 |Filed Under Uncategorized |

did not go so well. It involved me coming thisclose to a nervous breakdown and lots of screaming and fighting between me and the kids. Hopefully this is not a sign of how this summer will be. Well…at least the house got clean.

It has been an interesting and very stressful couple of weeks. We are currently in the process of determining whether we can build onto the house, instead of just replacing the roof. This would be great for so many reasons, namely that it would solve the “not enough room” dilemma and the situation with the problem roof. However, whether we can afford it or not is still an issue. We will have to draw up a basic floorplan, and then the contractor will give us the figures, and then the fun of trying to find a way to pay for it will begin. And of course this is all dependent on if we can even afford the monthly payment. I’m pretty sure I am going to apply for a job somewhere, Borders being at the top of my list. I think if I could get a PT job that it would help on a number of fronts. I haven’t “worked” in almost 9 years, so the thought of going back into the workforce even part time is daunting, but I hate feeling so dependent on my hubby plus we could really use that extra $$$.

DH and oldest DS are going out for dessert of some sort, so it is just me and the younger 2 at home. The middle kid is in trouble because instead of helping to clean the house tonight, he got an attitude with me about it and never actually DID anything to help. It’s not fair to everyone else who worked their butts off and he just puttzed around.

Not much else to report…Hmmm…me and hubby’s 10th anniversary is tomorrow but nothing planned as we are broke as usual. And all the summer fun really doesn’t start till Saturday when the the city begins it’s monthly “Movies in the Park”. Saturday night is Kung Fu Panda, and I am hoping the weather cooperates…I see possibility of rain in the forcast, but at this rate, what else is new? I’m still waiting for the temps to be more summerlike! Would be nice if the pool was warm enough to swim in this weekend but I’m not real hopeful.

Alright, my troublemaker is refusing to go to bed even though he was sent to his room an hour ago. Guess I need to go deal with this =\ Hope everyone is doing well!
