Life is a Blur

The semester is nearing an end and I still have a presentation and 2 or 3 tests left in my micro class, 2 assignments and 2 major tests in patho left to survive. I know I will - mostly because I have no other choice ha I am ready for a break though. I started working at Macy's seasonally for some extra money for those lovely end of the year tax bills. Fortunately it's very close to our house so I don't spend a lot of extra time driving like my husband has to spend driving to Independence. I'm gradually getting some look into his world of retail and I honestly don't know how he's done it for 3 years! I highly doubt I would have lasted that long. Not that's bad but I just don't see doing it full time for so long. My 2ish days a week are just fine with me! :o) Things have finally picked up at work for Jon though which is such a blessing. He'll be working mostly 6 days a week now as they've entered the 'fourth quater' with holidays and such. Sales have been so much more profitable lately and I suppose it's perfect timing - we got our tax bill last night so we have approxmately 6 weeks to pay down a large bill without incuring late fees and such. I know God will provide - we just have to maintain discipline to not buy all the things we see along the way haha It's so hard to believe the holidays are upon us...

$$ saver

I heard an interview with one of the creator's of this site the other day on the way to work. 2 friends who are wives and mothers trying to find ways to cut their budgets in today's economy. Ironically they actually started this process before everything went down the tubes. They are bringing their 1-2 years of research to a public website to help others. Lots of suggestions and links to coupons and such to help. I haven't explored the site fully but what I've read and seen I think it will be pretty nifty - especially for those with kids!
