the week w/ 6 kids wasn't nearly as bad as i expected it to be...however, i did have a headache the size of ohhh, shall i say...texas almost the entire time i was there, no matter what i took for it...that is now gone thankfully!
so 6 kids isn't bad so long as one is not thrust into it in such a way as to go from a 2 yr old and a 9 month old to the gamit of them all LOL
and so now my cute little family embarks on a new adventour...dh got a business license yesterday for his specialty painting business (ya know, faux, murals, etc) so here's hoping that it goes well and we can build it then using it's profits to subsidize other investments creating passive income situations for us...he says his 1st goal is to make a million...as he is my cute dh i will support him in this goal so long as it does not effect our family life in a bad way
we got a money managing program (mvelopes.com) so far we're liking it...we tried microsoft money for awhile, alas we just couldn't figure it out, mvelopes is way easier so that is the route we're going currently...it should help us better w/ our budgeting and keeping in our desired ranges...granted right now it's on some phoney numbers because i'm not sure what dh will be bringing home when his raise hits next month...oh glorious raise...how desired you are!
the flowers that we planted in a small planter box on our balcony rail looks to bloom soon...well 2 of them anyways...not sure about the others, but it will be nice to see more than a mini jungle of leaves out there
the garden was looking decent last time we went down to work on it, we put a continuous (sp?) feed fertlilizer on it, next day it stormed so we may have to go back and do it again if it got washed away...we really REALLY hope that our potatoes and corn make it...it would be super cool if the lettuce, carrots, peas, and beans made it as well...we need to get the pumpkin plants in the ground soon too...or are they supposed to be planted later...oh the live of a novice gardener...each year we'll get better at it i'm sure...
this is my last "full" week tutoring as next week i only work monday because we're to go to san diego for fil's retirment from the navy gig so i won't be working while there and then the week after is "summer" and the hours are majorly reduced...it will be nice to have a bit of a lull i think...not on the money stand point, but on the stress and relaxation stand point totally!
OH and if i did my calcs right i'm only 8 rated sessions away from a promotion from tutor 1 to tutor 2 which means a small pay raise, higher hours cap, and getting to schedule sooner!
