Done

So we have decided to take the house off of the market. It is just too scary out in the world right now. Right now we are living below our means, which is good and feels safe. We are afraid that raising our house payment right now would not be a good idea. I am glad, I really am. I would have liked a new house because ours is so small, but I know this is for the good of the family!! Plus, Kendall is going to school full time next year so our child care cost is going to go up next year, so all in all this is a very wise choice!! Oh, and for the crazy customer of the week at work...(not really an award, but I think I will have to make it one from now on!) yesterday we had an elderly gentleman shopping with his daughter. I got a call to the front and the daughter said that they found two shirts on the 4.97 clearance rack and when they had the girl do a price check on it, it wasn't clearance it was on sale for 29.99, but since they shopped on that rack for 15 minutes they thought they should get the shirt for 4.97???? Of course we wouldn't let them and they got mad and stormed out muttering how they would never shop there again. Oy, who does that?

My Baby

I don't think I have ever done two posts in one day, especially minutes apart. I wanted to post a picture of the birthday girl. Thursday is her fourth birthday, but we had a birthday party for her today. I can't believe my baby is four!!

Oh yeah...

Speaking of patience... did I mention that our house has been on the market since November. Why is it taking so long? (I know why, I just don't like it)

Patience

I am not a very patient person, in fact I would call myself very impatient. So, I just finished Dave Ramseys, "Total Money Makeover" and am ready to delve into my total money makeover. I am just not very patient and this plan is not a get rich fast scheme at all. The one thing I worry about it being diligent enough to save a "nest egg". I know I can do it because I am a very determined person, just not very patient. And it is going to take a good six to eight months if not more to save this up. Anyway, I am ready!! Hopefully I will be able to report how things are going.

Arctic Blast

Ok, so two days after my last post, it really snowed. We got like 10-12 inches, which is cause to shut down the city. It was really weird because it was the week before Christmas and it was NOT good for business. Although, I must say how surprised I was about the amount of customers that we did have, but I think that people just didn't have a choice, they had to finish their Christmas shopping. Our business hours are finally back to normal so no more staying until one in the morning. Work lately has been really frustrating. Today was just crazy, I don't know if it is a full moon, but the customers were just weird today. I seriously had a lady come in for a 2.43 refund. Then a lady came in with her reciept because she couldn't remember purchasing what was on her reciept and once I brought the item out she remembered. Who does that? Why would you take a reciept all the way to the store because you couldn't remember what was on your reciept, just crazy!

Snow Day

No, I am not kidding. They closed the schools today for this!! Right now it is in the middle of turning to slush. At least the kids got to play in it for a little while before it goes away!!

Internet Has Been Down

Oh my goodness, I never realized how much the internet was an addiction for me. Until I got a virus from facebook and couldn't get on in over a week. Not much has happened. The liscensor has gotten back with me and I told her about the psycho letter the daycare lady sent. She told me that if the state decides to take action that they will want me to testify. Which I have no problem with, I just don't really want to see her! I hope to catch up on everyone's blogs!!
