Many changes coming...

So I am going back to work 5 days a week. I like it and I don't like it. We bought a third car for my commute to save on gas. The car payment and insurance will be less than just putting gas in the truck. I will work 4 days a week 7-3 and every other weekend 3-11. I am sad and I am happy, it is weird. For a brief time Chris and I considered moving to PA, I think that idea has been put to rest for now. So I am going to my Mom's for one last trip with Colin. Brandon is going to the beach with my Dad and his wife for that week. We are all getting one last fun trip. The kids will love going to daycare and being around kids and doing different things. It is going to be supper hard to go to the gym after work. I will try to go every weekend and every Wednesday, that is my set day off every week, that is three days a week and maybe one other day. Then I wouldn't have to go after work to much.

Boy we are going to be broke. I know we will manage but it is hard to have to be mindful of every penny when we didn't have to be as careful before. I guess we should always be careful but we have to stop investing and saving at the level we were before, though we are determined to keep saving and investing on a much smaller scale. I am glad that I learned how to save LOTS of $$$ on our grocery budget and for now there are lots of health, beauty and cleaning things I won't have to buy for a long time. Just ask Peg who took home a bag full when she came for dinner on Monday and although she is brand specific to many things , was still able to take stuff home and did not put a dent in my supplies. Even though Colin just started potty training he has 8 packs of pull ups that I got for almost nothing and 12 packs of wipes to go with. I have more shampoo than two women could use in a year, more body wash, shaving cream, razors, deodorant, etc also.

Ps Peg, I saw in your blog where you said your house isn't as clean as mine. Don't do that, you can't compare things like that. Who gives a crap who's house is cleaner or what ever. I know Brandon has a habit of telling other people about their dust, but he also told you he "loves your new (concrete) floor. He can be full of it. And he cries when it is time to leave so despite his comment about your dust or whatever he still loves to visit. He did the same exact thing to Mom too.
