Money, swiming, and more

I've come to the conclusion that we will NEVER have enough money! My hubby just and I mean like 6 hrs ago JUST!! got paid and you know what? after half, let me say that again HALF of our bills getting paid plus grocceries, plus registering the van, we are down to a whopping $100 to last the next 14 days that translates to about $7 a day......blah! they turned off our cable today, can't afford to pay it right now.....summer has kicked our ass, we lost half of our MGIB money for school for the summer and just haven't been able to make up for the $500 loss each month.......oh well I guess the last post about the kids having to much T.V. was solved by a higher power.........the power of BRIGHTHOUSE! LOL..........next pay day we should acutally get to see the rewards of all the extra work that Rob has been doing.....whoo hoo! just gotta make it till the 8th!

The water park was a blast, matthew was having so much fun swiming around and playing in the spray water! and samantha took a bit of coaxing, but she eventually had fun too, they want to go back soon, mabey that is something we will do this week, its only $10 for a group of 4-6 so if the kids and I go we can bring another friend with 2 kids and split it for only $5 a family, anyone up for it? the don't open till 12:30 and are open till 5pm.......I think I may try for the free movies on tues or wed, or mabey the library for a story?

I never did manage to make the ravioli's for dinner, so that is on the agenda for tomarrow since the dough and filling is in the fridge. I guess the kids will help me too, since they can't watch Sprout!

tomarrow morning we go to help decorate the church that a friend goes to for VBS nest week, I'm not overly excited, but at least it is something to do!

My honey leaves tomorrow at the ass crack of dawn, well actually before dawn at 3:30am he's gone again untill monday night.........my mantra: "It WILL be worth it, It WILL be worth it!"
hopefully I don't kill my kids, I think my "aunt flo" is coming to town any time now.....Lucky kids!!! LOL NOT!

Oh I am also gonna be doing a dice cake for a very good friend of mine and her JDRF fundraising for Sat. unfortunatly I won't be going to the fundraiser.......damn work, damn kids, damn responsiablities!!!!

Oh I almost forgot to mention, I went to my weightwatchers meeting today, I was down 3.4 lbs which takes my weightloss to a grand total of 17.2 at week 13! all the more reason to get that bike (Katie, that's a yes for the bike!, just let me get the $$$ together) BTW I will be getting a new pool from another friend when I get back from vacation in mid August, so as soon as we get it I will be selling mine.....its a vinal pool with pump 16ft x46" circular I have shocker and chlorien tablets for it still and we have only had it up for about a month! It's even got a one year warranty on it that i paid for, (I would be more than happy to help if you needed to use it)
we paid a total of $300 + for it all, and I am willing to sell it for $200 OBO, let me know if your interested.........again, it won't be ready to go until mid august, but its easy to store, I'll even throw in the HUGE tarp I bought to go under it!

Ok I'm off to have a captin and sodie and enjoy my last few hours with my hubby before I enter single momdom for the next few days!

ICK I hate money too :( And I swear it seems like Rob JUST got home? It probably feels more so that way to you guys! I didn't think we'd ever confirmed the dice cake! I was just gonna go pick up cookies LOL OH and I'll make sure to "save" the bike for you, I won't even use it so that it's in pristine condition for you hahahahahaha Also, my husband is volunteering his services to keep your kids tomorrow night if you wanna come? He wants to watch up at our house cause there isn't enough to keep em busy at Rusty's. So lemme know how you feel about that. Talk to you soon!
