We've been playing with every loan calculator on every car site, and trying to figure out how we could afford the golf. We got it! So we take the drama at Ford to be a big old sign, and move on. We're talking on the way home, about how Jeremy deserves the VW. So do I! But as a mother, it seems that sacrifices just come instinctively. So we ( Read more... )

I haven't been calling my friends. I need to. Just to say hi, would be nice. I feel like I've neglected them all. I'm so sorry. I can't think of anything but car financing, Simone and the mess in my house. Nothing got done this weekend, and nothing got done today. Where are my lists ( Read more... )

So we decided that the payments for a VW Golf, would be so much that we would have to stop living for the next five years. No can do. I want to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary at somewhere other than Taco Bell. I want to be able to clothe my daughter. Okay, so plans have changed. We went to get a Ford Focus, from some sale ad. Were ( Read more... )

We have fallen head over heels in love with Volkswagen. More specifically, the Golf. We were all over the Golf TDI's last night, but they are just $40 dollars a month out of our price range. We were stretching our budget as tight as can be to accommodate the little sucker, too. But the only one that prick-boy had on his lot was a fully loaded ( Read more... )

We are buying a car. Most likely a VW Jetta or Golf, and most likely the new TDI diesel engine. Can you say 49 miles to the gallon? Wow ( Read more... )

The kitchen smells of fall! I love it! I had this idea for a good meal thing that I could make Simone, since I know she liked bb food squash and she just loves rice. So I made this, and it came out so wonderful! I'm eating some, too ( Read more... )

I deserved that. I've waited. I was not at all disappointed. And I am very, very thankful.
Today is another day, though less bleak, and I am here to do laundry. My parents are on vacation. Their house is mine, but I am going insane from chasing Simone about!

I'm wishing love and serenity to all my LJ mommy friends today, and well wishes go out to all those who are moms in other ways. Those shoulders to cry on, the teachers, the natural counselors, and those who manifest their maternal instincts in many ways, making this word a better place, with lots of loving women ( Read more... )

We are considering a move. Perhaps to the inland empire, only to save massive amounts of money and eventually buy a house. Then we got word that Jeremy's father, who also lives "Out There", was laid off from his job of some 15+years. He was not a regular Joe, he ran the construction for a local big cable company. So he is sad. His only sons ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wonder what the hell I was thinking, becoming a mom. I think I needed to do some more things for myself before taking on mothering ( Read more... )
