Thank goodness it's Friday! The news has been so depressing this week. Ready for a weekend of relaxing with Nash and maybe a little bit of cleaning. I hope it rains all weekend, we need it.
Like my brother, I'm considering going off the grid...sometimes I think I just need to not watch the news, not be on a computer, not check my email and not look at my phone. Maybe I will just watch movies all weekend, I usually don't get on the computer during weekends anyways unless I absolutely have too. I think facebook just makes me jealous of what others have and what I want. I don't remember feeling this way. Maybe it is better to just live life and not look at what other people are doing. I wonder if Facebook will eventually fizzle out just like myspace did..or even Twitter..I'm over Twitter anyways! I just like to get on there and see what Tom Hanks tweets because he shows you pictures while he is making a movie.
Luke confirmed last night that something will happen in November regarding his job. It's highly unlikely that the city tax will pass, meaning most people are not going to vote for another tax, after the state just passed a 3 year tax :( That I was no doubt pissed about, but I can't say anything because I didn't vote, so it was news to me when I saw that my car payment went up :(
Lots of officers will be cut and demoted, Luke shouldn't fall into that category but some form of pay cut is inevitable..his seargent is telling them to start being smart with money and saving and cutting back now to prepare for that time. I of course immediately got upset and stressed the minute he told me this, even though it doesn't happen for another few months. It totally stresses me out, I guess the best way to handle it would be to, start saving, cutting back and just hope for the best. It always seems like things are going ok, and then WHAM...another punch in the gut just to put us back in place...go figure!
I know things could always be worse and there are a lot of people who have it worse then us, but I certainly did not sign up to live such a stressful life when I should be enjoying every little thing at this age. Financial planning becomes a factor when baby planning as well. Just keep telling myself to be smart, spend smart and thank God everyday that I don't have shopping problem...or we would be in big trouble :)
On a lighter note, I am trying out a new recipe tonight...Pepperoni Chicken... looking forward to it. Really looking forward to next week when my parents are in town, it will be nice to have some family time with them and then Em and Jess will be here!
