Confession Thursday
Re: Confession Thursday
I love budgeting and making sure we are living within our means. But this past year has been hard. H was gone for 3 months, got out of the army, got his CDLs, and has been trying to figure out what he want to do as a civilian. I knew this was a HUGE transition, but wow. Our e-fund is way below where I like it and since H really didn't work much, we won't be getting as much back from taxes even though we've been paying as single all year. This new job has potential to get us back on our feet, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. We kind of have a way of things not working out as planned... everytime. And the months we struggle I really resent the big chunk of money that goes to his child support, especially when it equals, or exceeds what he made that month. Please don't flame me
@Pocky...I have serious white coat phobia too! I haven't had blood drawn (or have needed to **knock on wood**) since I was in like 5th grade because I'm ridiculously afraid of needles!
My confession is that I'm approaching 3 months since the wedding, and my thank you notes still aren't done : ( I really feel terrible about this! DH and I are doing the best we can and I think most people know how busy we are, but my mother feels the need to tell me how tacky I am on a daily basis : / I'm usually the etiquette police and did everything by the book as far as etiquette goes for the wedding, but trying to finish up a Ph.D. and DH's busy job has just taken over since the wedding. I promise they'll be out very soon though!
EDIT: I should mention that we have about 130 thank you's to write!
we had about the same # and i just finished them last Saturday so dont feel bad, you are not the only one, and i thought proper etiquette was you had up to a year?!?!
I also haven't finished mine and don't worry... my MIL takes every chance she has to tell me how bad it is. I just had so much to deal with that I put off to plan the wedding (mostly medical related) and got swamped with doctors appointment and just life! You gave me a little inspiration with the 3 month rule. I will aim to finish them (same amount as you) before that 3 month mark is up. I still have a few weeks. Just set yourself a goal for the end of the month. I think I also find it hard to finish them because then it means everything is really over.
I'm definitely stuck in a post-wedding rut right now, which I feel bad about. My sister got engaged the same weekend as our wedding, so now I'm helping her plan. I"m so excited for her, but I needed a little time to enjoy being married before jumping back in. With helping her with all the details, it really makes me second guess our wedding, which don't get me wrong, was beautiful! So writing those thank you notes just gives me something to hold on to.
