I can't decide if today was a good day or a bad day. I got some really (potentially) bad news today but I don't feel down right now.
O has been pretty frustrated lately and really upset because there are 8 radios that are missing. He was telling me that as the Commander he will probably have to eat the cost of those radios. Well, there was an investigation and it turns out they found him liable for them. He told me in the email I received from him this morning that worst case, we would owe the Army about $7,000. Best case would be $6,000. I was pissed, yes. But not at him. I figured that we could handle that right? We would have to take our savings that I rebuilt over the year and Lily's money and the money that I got from the insurance company to fix my car after Sr. backed into it, but we could pay it off and not have to worry about a large bill for a year. Okay. Great. Not gonna stress on it too much.
Then he called me. He told me that some other stuff has come up missing. He and the Command group are going to talk about it tomorrow but worse case scenario is that we will end up owing the Army $17,000. Awesome huh?? And I was upset about $7,000. Silly me.
At this point, I figure whatever else is going to go wrong will. I am just going to try to keep my head up and think positive. Unfortunately, money issues is one of the leading causes of divorce so Otty and I discussed the fact that we can get through this as long as we remember that we are a team and we don't let this negatively impact our relationship. We can do this as long as we do it together. We will find a way, or make one.
On a more positive note, my stepmom and I had a great day. I baked more biscotti (had to make 3 batches to get as much as I needed) and I made the dough for another type of cookie. I'm hoping to make a food post, complete with pictures, sometime within the next couple days. I've been inspired by all the cooking blogs and food communities lately and I really love how they post recipes and pictures and such. So I'm going to try it out.
Tomorrow is the big day!! We go to our first cake decorating class tomorrow evening. I'm super duper excited!
I did my JM circuits today. They felt pretty easy toward the end but the beginning with the jumping squats, push ups, and mountain climbers just about killed me. I thought I was going to throw up at one point but I kept going. The bad thing is that I've been eating like absolute crap lately. Last night was BK and tonight we thought outside the bun and ran for the border. I ate way more than I should. I don't seem to be able to stop. I wonder if it's because of all these crazy emotions that I've been feeling since we moved into this house. It's been a hard adjustment. I was doing great at the apartment but for the last week I feel like I can't stop eating. Hmmmm....I think I may be onto something and I will think about and analyze this further.
Okay. I'm off to....do something. I was going to say go to bed but I'm not sleepy. Oh! I finally remembered to buy a freaking pillow. And Lily is now adjusted to the new house. She's back to her old self. She doesn't fight me about going to bed. Whenever I tell her it's bedtime, she grabs her friends and runs and jumps into bed just like she always used to. She's such a good girl. I don't know how I got so lucky to have such an amazing little person in my life.
