Schweet!
Ever since I started the teaching program and have had to complete my practicum anywhere in the surrounding county as well as my own, my husband has been very worried about me driving that far in the early morning and the afternoon traffic. Plus, he worries when I drive around with Grayson, especially with my old car. Now that I got my newer car I have not had to really worry as much but he still is a worry wart at heart. Because of this, he has been looking into a roadside assistance plan offered by our car insurance company. Hey, I think that’s a very schweet deal for me since I can always use the added reassurance that if something goes wrong I will be taken care of and not having to fork out a lot of money to have my cousin come check out my car means more money in my pocket! All around I think a roadside assistance plan is something that would be a great investment since I surely do not want to be stuck on the side of some country road in the middle of nowhere!!

Get your gold
Now it is even easier to get the things you want with the internet. I remember my grandma telling me stories about how after the war my grandfather had saved in order to buy each of his daughters gold bars to put away for their future. During the time, buying of gold bars was a great idea to save for one’s future. Now, you can buy gold online and have it delivered to you without stepping outside of your house. How awesome is that? I mean I don’t plan on buying gold anytime soon since all the money we get goes to bills, diapers, and gas, but still I am sure there are people out there that would benefit from this service.

Christmas Time
Tonight we will be going to my aunt’s for our annual Christmas dinner. Even though my family consists of a lot of cooky people, I always look forward to spending time with them. In fact, I wish I had more time to spend with each and every one of my family members, even those that manage to annoy me within a five minute conversation. Every year, the dinner is the same. The men will stay in the living room or outside on the porch talking about cars, amt pumps, and God knows what else why the women stay inside and chat about family life while setting everything out and getting the last minute dishes prepared. Then we will all eat and after dinner conversation will be a mix of everyone trying to talk at once about anything and everything while getting a little tired from the turkey. What is Christmas like at your house?

Thanks Dad!
One of the things we have been wanting to do is add a bigger bed to Gray’s room. He currently has two twin beds in his room but we’d like to swap those out for a full-sized bed. With a full, company can sleep in his bed with him and it would give his play space more room. Considering the only people who spend the night are my younger siblings, the bed issue won’t be a problem. Unfortunately, the bed frame we had broke somehow. Thankfully, my step-dad has all of his welding equipment at home so he was able to quickly fix the bed for us. Now let’s hope hubby can stain the wooden parts of the bed and it look okay in time for Christmas. If we do not have his room ready to rearrange by Christmas, we will complete it shortly after. All I know is Gray will be needing a lot more space once he opens gifts!

Insert Present Hint Here
One thing you might not know about me is that I really do not like surprises. I guess this stems from the fact I like to be in the know and in charge most of the time. Hey, when you have a mom who is disabled and take care of younger siblings a lot, you just learn to always be in charge. I am good at keeping my siblings in line and around Christmas I always seem to know what I am getting since I wrap it myself. Well, this year, I have no clue what I am getting from my mom and from my husband. The only clue from my husband is the fact that he left the homepage to shari’s berries up on the computer. Now if my present comes from this site I am going to be one happy girl. In fact, I am really craving chocolate covered strawberries right now by just looking at the images on the site. Ahhh, hubby, you have great taste!

Looking for a job, any job
Since September, my husband has been dilligently looking for a job. He has called about any job available in the paper and even have checked out online job search engines with no luck. The fact that he has no experience that he can claim on an application is really not helping at all. My husband has worked for family friends under the table so he cannot claim those officially and this is turning into something that is biting him in the butt big time. He has even looked for Busser Jobs which isn’t something he really wants to do but to help our family get by he will work any job. He had an interview this morning at Wal-Mart so here is to hoping this interview goes well and he gets the job because let’s face it, we need the money!!
