Happy Monday!
How was everyone's weekend?
Mine was uneventful. Saturday I worked all day. Got home around 7pm.. ate some grilled cheese and pretty much crashed. I got no cleaning done, but I pretty much knew that wasn't gonna happen Sat night..
Got up Sunday morning having a pity party for myself. I was frustrated bc its so hot & humid I don't want to run.. but I really want to run bc I love running but its just so gross out. I'm getting stressed about moving, like freaking out stressed... We are spending more money then I would like out of our pockets on our house.. H is spending a ton of money in gas driving back and forth, and a ton of money on food bc they eat out 3 meals a day. AH! I just feel like we are going backwards in our savings.. We have our downpayment.. plus some.. i want to keep the plus some in there.. but every time i put some in savings I end up pulling it back out because we have to buy this or this for the house.. now Chris' trucks needs a front end alignment from all the driving... thats $100.. AHHHH....
So after my pity party I ate breakfast and got to work.. I started packing up the kitchen. I had to do something to feel like i was being productive towards our move; i obviously have no control over the money situation, we have to do what we have to do. It felt good to pack stuff up.
Hope everyone had a nice wknd!
Re: Happy Monday!
Glad you got a bunch done on Sunday! I'm sure spending extra money is frustrating, but I have a feeling new houses always end up costing a bit more out-of-pocket than you hope. At least you feel confident that you have your down payment money.
Did you run on Sunday? I didn't run all weekend, and I think I've only managed about 20 miles since my half a few weeks ago. I need to get back on track, but it's hard because there's so much to do on our house and at the farm! And, DH is much happier when I don't spend a few hours of Saturday or Sunday running. So, what's a girl to do?
Today, I will get in a run.
Hope everything goes well as you continue packing and prepare to move!
We didnt do much this weekend...spent sat just laying around and it was so great!! We went out for a little while but didnt do anything really fun...
Then yesterday we went grocery shopping and then went to my parents house...my dh helped my dad mow the grass and get some stuff moved around there house and barns. Then we made pizza on the grill...yes the grill...it was SOOOO good! I think everyone should try it!
The weekend was good. We didnt do too much. The hawks game was on so we had to base the weekend around that. We live in Chicago so its HUGE to DH. lol. I could really care less.
Brittney, 1 week to go! How exciting!
nope I didn't run. it was 76 when i got up at 830 sunday morning! i cant run today either i dont get off till 7 ... and we have to go to lowes to look @ tile.. i'll be able to run tomorrow & thursday this week =(
BK - ooh yum to pizza on the grill! It is the best way I've had pizza!
This weekend I blew off that baby shower I was supposed to go to and instead we went and walked around the mall and I did a lot of napping. On Sunday we went to Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us because I have been stressing about baby things and how I am an unfit parent because I don't even know anything about car seats and strollers. Well, now we've got one picked out and I feel better haha. Silly things that stress you out, ya know?
