  • Whine: We're re-financing our house, which means my lunch hours are spent on the phone, at the bank, and filling out paperwork.  It also means deciding which loan term to go with.  Shorter term, and it will affect paying off our student loans early and strap us a little more than we would like when having a family.  Longer term, and we pay SO much more in interest that it makes us sick.

    Win: Refinancing means paying off our house in a much shorter term, and that's super exciting!

    Whine: I want to be a SAHM so badly it makes me cry to think of it. We can't afford it.

    Win: Since I've been on maternity leave and I'm only receiving 60% of my pay, it's given us a better idea of what kind of pay cut I can take for us to live comfortably. This will allow me to look for a 9-5 job and evenings and weekends off with my family!

  • @tudorrose11 I am sorry you can't stay home like you would like to but I am glad that you have the opportunity to search for a job that will better fit your family!

  • I have another Whine

    I am not enjoying my classes this term. It doesn't help that they are essentially the same class. I am taking organizational psychology which is psychology of the organization which is basically psychology of the workplace which is what my second class is. I am not enjoying the subject matter and it sucks.

    Another Win I guess...

    My courses are only 5 1/2 weeks long and I am in the third week already.

  • Win: DH just surprised me with lunch.  

    Whine: It was really good until I found a hair in it. Appetite. Lost. 

    Win: We are getting closer to closing the deal on this house we made an offer on last month.

    Whine: The underwriter at the mortgage company we're working with is being a complete bitch. She keeps asking for ridiculous documents and saying things like, "If I don't have it by tomorrow, no more consideration will be given."  Really? Last time I checked, you should WANT my business, not be an asshole and try to turn it away. So much for customer service! I feel like she has us by the balls and I don't like it.

    Win: My first appointment is tomorrow. I can't wait!  And I get to leave work early for it; bonus!

  • @TudorRose11  I am sorry you aren't able to stay home :-(  I really want to stay home as well, but know that there is just no way financially that I could.  It sucks!

    @PandPMeant2B  We went out to eat for Thanksgiving and I found a hair in my food that was definitely not me.  It still disgusts me to think about it now!

  • @wiggyslilsis and @sparklingdiamond thanks girls :-/ my current job is 55-60 hours a week and usually only one weekend day off per month. DH and I rarely have time together when I'm working, there is no way I can stay there now that baby is here.

    Hoping I can find something better suited soon so I don't have to go back to that schedule for long!
