This weekend was the first in a very long time that hubs and I have gotten to spend time with college friends! It was so great getting to see everyone! Each time we are all together it always takes me back to they way it used to be. Those were good times and I'm thankful for the memories. I'm also very thankful we all still keep in touch, despite living almost an hour away from each other.
I woke up Sunday morning with a raging cold that had moved into my chest. I have a sinus infection and I'm on antibiotics, but this is no sinus infection! I literally could not move from the couch all day. I even missed work yesterday and the only time I was awake or mobile was to pee. I still feel like death, but I made it out of the house this morning.
In my bout of sickness yesterday I forgot to feed Bronx breakfast! Total Mom FAIL! I was wondering why he was acting so crazy, hmmmm....I blame it on the cold meds!
We still haven't gotten our taxes done. One, because we're just slackers like that. Two, because we don't have any kids or major deductions so we usually don't get squat back, so whats the rush? Right? Right.
Though I haven't seen my natural hair color in years, I remember it to be very "mousey" colored, which isn't flattering. Therefore, I will NOT be cancelling my hair appointment tomorrow, despite the fact that I feel the need to cut costs in my budget on "beauty" items/services.
We have decided that we will NOT go on a vacation this year. Bummer. We just feel the money needs to go to increasing the amount of our emergency fund. After Bronx's surgery, we now see that its very important to have
I want to start an anonymous blog where I can just shoot the shit and not worry about insulting anyone or hurting any one's feelings. Ya know, sort of like a diary, except your Mom doesn't read it. Ha! I like private. There are a lot of things I'm pretty private about and haven't discussed with others. Though hardly anyone reads this blog, its not private and I don't feel as if I can just say ANYTHING on here.
It just drives me nuts that my husband has taught in the public school system for 5 years and has NEVER received a raise. NOT.ONE.SINGLE.CENT has been given to him in return for his years of service. I understand the economy is horrible, but these are the people who educate America's youth. People who spend their own money on things that are needed for their students when the school doesn't provide. People who stay after school hours to help/assist/reteach those students who need it. People who drive students home from practice when their parent's work late. These teacher's deserve something! They deserve a little compensation for their time, effort, and hard work. If our lovely state of NC is not going to give our educators the raises they deserve, the least they could do is offer educators a tax break on their student loans.
Okay, I am stepping down from my soap box now, but it still drives me nuts.
