A quote from Leif just a bit earlier today.
"And when I get my medical degree, my idea will make me the most famous person in the history of the Earth."
Someday some woman will probably have to deal with that ego.
When we were kids, my brother and I used to talk about how when we were grown up we were each going to be millionaires and/or President.
So far that hasn't happened yet. Somewhat unrelatedly, we would often make bets where the loser had to pay the winner "all the money in the world", or worse yet, "all the money in the world plus one dollar."
Liese and I have the same colors to choose from. But I wear primarily red and white and black and grey so I'm okay with whatever.
We're off to go to a party. yay!
Lady was a no show for the bed. Hate that. I have emailed the next on the list.
Darnit. I did NOT, in fact, win the lottery last night. Stupid West Virginia. Why do the winners always come from West Virginia?? What's up with that??!?! I think it's a conspiracy!
It's probably karmic balance for the coal mining.
it is. a hillbilly conspiracy.
so using megan walker's budget template - 98% of my money is allotted each month on mandatory expenses. I am $200 in the whole each month at this point. Next month, because of COBRA payments that will go to $1900. So my parents want to talk money with me tomorrow. do not like this part of the grown-up thing.
msbelle, is it all just temporary until your NY place sells though?
Oh, ugh, msbelle, it sounds like we have the same budget. I'm very sorry.
Kidisms, West Coast Edition:
Matilda and I were lying in bed cuddling, as I was trying to get her down for a nap. She patted my face lovingly and said, "Mommy, I like that you have hairs in your nose. I don't have any, but maybe when I am a grown-up. Daddy has hairs in his nose but I don't see them because when he lies down he turns over and I only see his back. But I can see your hairs in your nose. They're very pretty. And I like that you have two holes in your nose. They're pretty and lovely. I love them both."
Thanks?
Um. She really has a thing for hair in personal locations, doesn't she?
the cobra is actually more than my monthly costs for the ny place, so once it sells things will get significantly better, but after I pay back all the money I owe my parents for the new house and the car, I will be at zero and still putting out more money than is coming in. It just means I need to go get a new job with benefits sooner rather than later. Taking a month too not think about getting a new job while mac was in school is a luxury I cannot afford.
In the short-term I could think about if I think I could handle keeping one or two kids at my place after school, so like from 2:55 til 6 for money. No idea what going rates around here are for that, but I bet it would more than close the $200 gap I am facing this month.
