Tomorrow will be a better day

November 8th, 2008 at 12:44 am

My mom used to say that to me a lot when I was a kid (I'm a stresser! lol)

And today was just that...a better day.

Hubby & I discussed the job issue and feel better.

We're in a rather odd situation because while most people are applying for jobs and getting ready to be in the job market again (with the layoffs on the way), my hubby can't. He is unable to do this because the company not only paid our moving expenses but they bought our previous house when it didn't sell in 3 months. Hubby signed an agreement to stay with the company at least 2 years or he will have to pay back the moving expenses.

October 09 will be 2 years.

SOOOO....unless the company cans his position, he can't do anything. He is a sitting duck.

Anyways, we talked about it and we're just going to do all we can do. We're going to go on normally (being frugal and saving money) and be prepared for the worst. There is nothing else we can do.
Besides he might have his job for another year or more, and by then the moving cost wouldn't be an issue.

This doesn't mean that I don't think the whole situation is morally wrong, but what can you do about it? Pray and hope for the best :-)

By the way, thanks to everyone who left such nice comments, it honestly made me feel better. I appreciate it. :-)

So I got the school ball rolling. I'm excited that so far (Knock on wood) it has gone so smoothly. In a 24 hour period I've been able to submit my membership application, apply for financial aide (FAFSA) (and have it finalized - usually this takes a week or two), fill out the student loan application, set up my student account, do the online orientation and set up appointments with the academic adviser and financial aide for Monday!

I really hope that my English and Math credits transfer, I really don't want to do these two over again. Blah.

Once I have my student loan processing going I can register for classes.

Crossing my fingers it all goes well.

So who is a black Friday shopper? Or do you shop cyber Monday deals? Neither?

I have a few things on my list for xmas gifts but I'm debating holding out until that weekend to see if there will possibly be any deals for them. I just feel like I'm being a last minute shopper (usually my shopping is done by now lol). But oh well, I really don't want to go over budget this year. I manage to go over budget EVERY year ... every darn time lol.
