Things really do get better.
The lowest of the low have come and gone at my house....
It's no secret that I was on the edge.Apparently so was my dh. Money was a big concern for him, especially the not making any part. When he got laid off back in October he had to scramble to find a job and honestly he took the first one that came along. Turned out that job was nothing more then a glorified salesman. This AC company didn't care about fixing anybodies anything they just wanted him to sell new units to people who didn't really did them.This didn't sit well with dh and apparently he just wasn't fitting in. Well, he found a new job, better pay , better hours and the best part NO Selling. It's dh's third day on the new job and I can see he is far less stressed. He already looks happier.
I am happier too because now he will be home on the weekends. And we will be able to pay all our bills on time this month.
I also sold my Mustang to my brother who is going to give me a large down payment and make payments on the rest. It's a win win because I got the money we needed and in a way I still get to keep the car. Bro said I can drive it any time I want.
If all goes as planned this Friday I should have over 5,000 in the bank.
OF course Im still pretty broke today and most of that money will go to bills. Gotta get the mortgage caught up and then I am going to replace what I have had to spend from the EF.
I can see clearly now the rain is gone!
Thanks for all your support during my hard times.
