2010 is starting off with a BANG!!

Well as the first month is almost thru, this year is already starting out with a BANG!! My family bought a puppy and to our surprise starting gaining weight rather quickly. The next thing we know some friends of ours keep mentioning that she looked like she could be pregnant. Hmmmm...she is 7 months old which means there could be a possibility. So because the guy we bought her from doesn't like to return phone calls we have to take her to the vet and get her checked out along with getting re-vaccinated. Then the vet informs us that she most certainly is pregnant but that it is not in the best interest of the dog or the puppies for her to continue the pregnancy. So we set up the appointment to get her spayed and she came through just fine.

Now onto the next dilemma, our freezer went out the day before Thanksgiving so it has taken us this long to save to buy a new one. After visiting and revisiting the same stores looking at the same damn freezers we finally bought one. 2 days later....the washer died with a load of clothes in it. So then we were on the hunt again. I wanted a front loader because if we have to buy a new one mid as well buy the one I really want. So we start at the same stores we looked for the freezer at. Well it seems to be a policy that places that sell appliances dont actually stock them. Almost everywhere we went we had to order the one I wanted and it could take anywhere from 1 week-3 weeks. Until finally we go to Lowe's and they have a floor model that they are willing to sell, we even talked them into giving a better discount because it was a floor model. So now I'm happy I have a new washer and a new freezer so I can keep my families clothes clean and their bellies full :) Let's hope that nothing else major happens because I think I've had enough for this year already!

Economy

So as everyone sits out there and complains about how bad the economy is, here I sit waiting for things to get better. My husband is currently out of work and I'm the one footing the bills. Well, this just sucks! I'm tired of paying for everything. I'm ready for him to get back to work so some of the stress on me can be relieved. I try very hard not to let it get to me but some days it's just too much. I just can't catch a break. Every time I turn around it's something else. I mean I make pretty decent money but dammit I want to spend some of MY money on what I want to get!! I sit at a boring as job all day long 45 hours a week and most of my money goes to paying the bills. Every now and then I sneak not paying something just so I can have some enjoyment.

President Obama (which yes I voted for) was suppose to make things better. He was suppose to create more jobs. Well Where in the Hell are those Jobs? Why is the economy continuing to get worse not better. The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer! Something has got to change. Although as I sit here and bitch I do recall that there were 53 jobs in the paper on sunday which is the highest it's been for awhile. But most of those jobs required some kind of training.

My husband and I own our own business. (Well he owns it but it has my name on it) It's the kind of business that doesn't get busy until about April and shuts down around October which means he needs something else for a more regular income but there just isn't anything out there. Okay I'm done now. I've had my fit and will be quite....
