well poo...yes, it's another money vent/rant

the 25 craft were a rumor so now who knows when hubby will get a promotion...which i was really REALLY hoping for in the next 6 months
the financial difference btwn what we have now and what his upgrade would give us what we need to do more than just make it by each month...
i really want to pay off his school loans faster than we're able to right now and of course we'd really REALLY like to be able to start to save for a home...that's so not going to happen ANY time soon w/o an upgrade...i just don't earn enough money doing what i do from home to make a big enough of a difference for us to be able to actually save much of anything
and of course now that it's the summer, that means i work just that much less which of course means much less money...maybe i'll have to become a mentor before i really want to just so i can earn some extra money...i really don't want to do that until after #3 gets here because i'd feel horrible if i started it now then after #3 gets here i just don't feel like i can do it and have to quite being a mentor
money is so dumb...and w/ the cost of gas as it is, we have even less of it to go around...not like hubby can just not drive to work...not that i want wild lands to be destroyed, but seriously there are ways to harvest oils that we have in our own country that won't completely destroy everything, it would look different, but we're smarter about harvesting oil compared to 50 yrs ago...there will be less eco impact if it's done right and just imagine the savings at the pump if it was our own oil compared to getting it from other countries...ok, off that soap box because it's just gonna get my feathers ruffled
won't go there on politics because...well, let's face it...it's another lesser of two evils election...although i feel the differences is vast btwn the two candidates...but that is as far as i will go on that subject
hubby's job seems fairly secure at the moment, but so many airlines are going under because of the cost of fuel...which of course is kinda good for him because that means his airline picks up some of those routs, but still...
at least i'm having another girl so i don't have to buy new clothes right?

swimming lessons

the girls started taking swim lessons earlier this week, they've both had a blast so far and are becoming much more comfy w/ water, they were ok before but doing better even still
#1 is in a pk level 2 class by herself and #2 is in the parent child class because she's still under 3...she's really doing awesome...she went to her 1st 3 days w/ daddy and today w/ me...i feel a bit lost as i don't really know what's going on in her class, but that's ok...it's mostly for fun right LOL
oh, and holy cow, getting back out of the water today...
wow....
let's just say, gravity is not my friend at all...it was quite difficult climbing the ladder out of the pool and getting my legs to take the wt of my big ol'pregnant body again...thankfully it didn't take to long for my body to adjust, but still...wow
#1 had her dance recital about 2 wks ago, it was cute, nothing spectacular by any means, but very cute...both girls will be taking the class this fall btwn sept and nov, so it will be interesting to see how they do, we put them in separate classes so that they could feel special that they were getting to take a class AND so #2 wouldn't mimic her sister's behavior and cause problems for the teacher LOL
that class starts about a month after #3 is "due" to make her debut so we'll see how that all goes...
and on that note, i'm measuring about 2.5 wks bigger than i am along, which bodes well for the theory that my crazy weight is due to excess amniotic fluid...because she's not big, she's in there bee-boppin' all over the place quite quickly so i'm not worried about her being too big as of yet...granted i've got 5-9 wks to go depending when she decides to show up (i'm voting for 37-38 wks...so 6-7 wks more)
