She'll be comin' 'round the Mountain...

Or the hills of the FL panhandle in my case. That's right folks my MIL is moving in. In the course of 3 months of being married, two of Justin's family members will have lived with us. Crazy huh? Ever since we have decided it would be best for multiple reason for her to live with us, everything as been flipped upside down.

Saturday we were suppose to have family pictures scheduled for 1:30. Well while I was at work with my sisters the office phone rings. It is Justin, in a panic. His sister had been in a bad car accident and had some head trauma. I left work, called my boss, called my assistant, and called my mom all before making it home. I had arranged everything. Justin left to go cash his paycheck (which of course had come later then normal) and change the oil in the car. While he did that I packed. When he got home he told me that his dad wanted to make the trip with us. *great* Well within seconds of us closing the trunk and starting to turn everything in the house off his sister's friend called, his sister was being released from the hospital and the doctor said everything looked "great". WTH?!!! Here we were debating on packing funeral attire with the way they were talking and now miraculously she is fine? How does that happen? So I begin to unpack the car, she is fine, no need on us making a 13 hour + trip. NO Justin still wants to go and stay the whole week since we were planning on making it out for Fallon's bday anyway. I know I simply can not take off of work for an entire week (not like he should either).

I tried to argue the most I could then realized it was pointless. I had to let him go. He left Saturday at 1pm and I have hated every minute of it. He should be back sometime on Sunday (hopefully). The best part is he is in my car!!! So I am stuck with his car until Sunday. What if I break down? He is more worried about his sister who is using him then his own wife?!!! I have barely talked to him and when I do I can not even get his attention!! I am competing with everyone over there!!! I am PISSED right now!!!!

Disney world blues

In the beginning of our Feb Fl vaca I had decided to try and price out Disney World for a few days (4/5 max). I researched and researched. Finally I came to the conclusion it would be MUCH cheaper to stay at Disney's campground in our BEAUTIFUL tent that Aunt Mary gave us. Well that knocked our cost down by HUNDREDS (literally). The total came to about $720 total. Not too bad but when we are considering food, drinks, gas, Shuttle launch (the reason we are even going to FL) and tent reservations in Cape Canaveral and Tampa, it all adds up to ALOT more!!! $1500.00 approx. WOW that is ALOT of money to BLOW in one trip and come back to NOTHING in saving.

On top of all this Christmas is coming around the corner, Justin is buying a new computer in Dec. and he REALLY needs a better car. Also we are planning on moving in March when our lease is up and really need some room in our budget for the deposits, furniture, food for help, etc.

As of right now we only have $400 in our savings acct and the beginning of the month is ALWAYS our tightest budget wise. Hopefully everything will work out well for the upcoming holidays and vacation. We are seriously going to have to be some saving fools!!!
