Hey guys!

Thanks for your patience with me this week! Husband and I both managed to escape any illness (knock on wood), but toddler #1 had to stay home from preschool on Monday and toddler #2 had to stay home from preschool on Wednesday (they only go MWF), so this week has been rough work-wise. Thus, I’m going to have to really get my rear in gear today while both are healthy and at school! I have so much going on I’m going to just word-vomit with bullet points instead of using full paragraphs…

  • I have two job applications to complete….today (due by the 15th). Yikes!!! In the past apps have taken me nearly 10 hours each and I haven’t even started either yet. Wish me luck!
  • I will definitely add a column in my future debt update posts to reflect the original balance (thanks for this suggestion – so obvious, but I’d never thought to do it before!)
  • Speaking of debt….I’m thinking a change of the plan of action is in order??? More on this to come as I think things through a bit more. I hate to make so many changes. It is not like me to be so “flaky,” but (credit to Walnut for mentioning this) since our income situation has changed it makes sense to re-evaluate our debt payoff plan of action.
  • A couple people mentioned our car being brand new. Just wanted to clarify that our car was bought used. It’s still a newer model (2011), but we bought it in March 2013. Also, we are not upside down on it anymore. Still don’t think we’re wanting to sell at this point though. Perhaps this topic can be discussed more in depth when I re-hash our debt plan of action.
  • Small win – we are set to pay off one of our (three) medical bills next month! We have 3 separate medical bills each month (for $25, $50, and $75, respectively). We’ll be ridding ourselves of the $75/month bill. Wahoo!!!

So there you have it. I’ve got to get some serious work done but I’ll be back soon!!

So, what do you think ?
