Update on things

Well as I type this post on my new iPad.....:) I've wanted to give an update on what's going on. My husbands company is on strike. He isnt but he has to fill in doing an odd job while they are striking. He now works 10-10pm shift 7 days a week! We are in the 4th week of this! We really thought this was going to be a week long thing but nope! So needless to say ive been a single mom in the evenings for the past 24 days. He did take like 3 days off over the time period but other than thAt nope. Just me. I'm realizing that single moms have it HARD! Although I'm thankful for extra money we are getting a week, I really want him back home! I had to eliminate on my 5am workouts:( I'm just too tired. I am going Saturday though. I wouldn't have this iPad this soon if it wasn't for the strike, soo yeah. Once the strike hits 31 days we will awesome get time and half money to us that he's worked over the month so that's even more money. We have so much stuff we are knocking out more quickly because of this. Ex: brakes fix on Honda, new catalytic converter, a/c fixed in VW, medical bills paying off, new vacuum cleaner(ours broke) and new beds for the boys. On another note, Preston and Chase are starting t-ball in June. First practice is tonight. A couple of the kids in their school are also on the team so it'll be fun because I'll know them. We plan to move e boys in August to the school in our neighborhood. It's close to the elementary school they will be going to and they will meet some of the kids that will be going ire also. Same school just different location.:) That's all for now.

I don't know how you're doing all that alone time with the boys, it would kill me! The extra money is so awesome, though, must make it kinda seem worth the hardship. I am surprised they are STILL on strike... in this economy? Insane.

Keep fighting the good fight!!! Hope to see you at bootcamp this week!
