We are still panicking and trying to figure out what to do about going camping, I had called them on Friday and they are all booked up for electrical sites, AND to make it worse worse WORSE, Hubs vacation coincides with the August Long Weekend, making it pretty damn unlikely we will be able to reserve a non-electric site!

On one hand, this is not the worst thing in the world, we CAN go camping on a different weekend, and our chances of getting a site are good, BUT if we do not go the week we want to go, BFF Kiss will not be able to come. She is the assistant manager where she works and just getting the original days off were extremely tough for her.

Not only do I WANT Bff Kissy to come, she is my BFF after all, having her along will be a big help with the boys – particularly since Hubs will be staying at the campsite with the dog while we take the boys swimming – at least, thats our plan, and I do not feel comfortable taking all three boys to the pool by myself! (I only have two hands)

Tomorrow I am going to try and call to reserve a site for the days we want, in non electric, I’m not even sure the reservation office is open on the weekend!

Wish me LUCK!

But you know what? Im DONE letting my head rule my life..wait. that came out wrong.. Oh well!

LOLz

I heard an awesome quote the other day “Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone notices, but only you feel the warmth!”

Isn’t that great?

I’m excited about a bunch of stuff, we are redoing the back yard patio – by necessity, we had a huge storm come through and the patio, which is WRONGLY slopped toward the house (NOT by us, by the previous owners) had four inches of water standing on it. Last thing we need is to flood the basement!

I’m also excited because I got my Wii Fit, finally! It’s been hard to force myself to use it, what with my head pounding, but I have been doing some of the less active exercises. Every bit counts, eh!

The government calculates what you will get based on LAST YEARS income, and since I was making about 300.00 a month in baby sitting last year, they automatically assume I will be doing the same this year. FAIL.

I am desperately hoping that I will be able to apeal their decision to cut my BBC, but I doubt I will be successful, on top of that, it is EXTREMLY stressfully knowing it will be cut – BUT WHAT TOO??

My student loan payment, the car insurance payment and out home security system payment come out of the BBC, and I usually have enough to also pay three of the four monthly bills we get, leaving just one to be paid out of Hubs account.

Not knowing what my BBC will be means I do not know how much will have to come out of Hubs check, meaning I have no idea what to budget for.

Luckily, my friend called me this afternoon asking If I will be able to baby sit her two kids for two weeks.She is quitting her job and must give 2 weeks notice, and on Friday she found out the babysitter she had been using was virtually abandoning (and not feeding) her children!

The money I make over those two weeks goes a long LONG way to giving me peace of mind in terms of bills, and hopefully, the BBC will not be dropped as far as I think it will and we will still be fine.

Fingers crossed!
