7 months!?
Hi everyone. I'm back and I can't believe it's been almost 7 months since my last post.
Of course I was called back to work, I think I posted this on last post. We worked 12 hour shifts for a coupole of months, went through one temp for 2nd shift and now have a guy who seems to need the job, he's stuck with us for almost 2 months now. I went through allergy tests, had to see an opthamologist because my pressures were up, our landlord told us in July we had 6 weeks to move since he was finally ready to tear the place down and build him a new business there. We found a house we fell in love with but the seller wasn't willing to negotiate in any way, that's a whole chapter by itself. We're renting a cute 3 bdrm, 2 bath double wide on a block foundation for the next year at least. We sold the TA and used the money to pay off some moving expenses ( we now have 2 acres with a nice hill in the back to mow and DH got him a John Deere $$), paid off DH's dental bill, put tires on the vehicles, and I splurged and got the Rachel Ray pans I've been wanting for a few years.
We are still getting settled in and I'm so happy here. It takes 5 minutes for us to get to town/work. I got our first full months electric bill yesterday and it's a whopping $8.13... not a typo.
I could write another chapter but I'll give you all a break. Just soooo happy to be back.
