I need to get back into this....
Well it's a new year and a new beginning of our lives, literally.
Joseph came home on January 6th and it was the best and most nervous day of my life. I had no idea what to expect. But he has been the best baby ever. He's very easy and calm.. until he gets hungry then he screams his head off until he feels the milk touch his lips haha. I love his guts. And he is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen. Man we did good. :D
So on the 20th Mark's w-2 was available and we did our taxes that morning on H&R Block online. We are getting $6,166 back and will have it tomorrow. YAYYYY! I can not wait. Plus he gets paid tomorrow as well. We NEED it very badly. We are completely broke. It's a good thing we had enough diapers and formula to keep us going. I know it is going to leave our account almost just as quick as it got in there though, which really sucks. We have things that we need to pay off now and just get them out of the way. I don't want to stall and be like well I guess that can wait because that's how people get further and further into debt. The biggest most important is my credit card. Gosh I hate that thing I should have NEVER got it. I'm over by like $250 because of late fees and overdraft fees. I just gave up because I knew I wouldn't be able to catch up until our money came in. I don't even wanna know what my credit score is by now. But hopefully paying off our debt, which thankfully isn't all that bad, will help us bring our scores back up. We have to buy a new alternator and one more new tire for the Isuzu. And we have to pay our cell phone balance. Those are the biggest things we need.
But other than that we are going on some nice ass shopping sprees. lol. I couldn't wait because i wanted to buy some better clothes for Joey, he's so small that more than half of his clothes don't even fit him yet. So I wanted to buy some more NB and 0-3 months clothes. Plus some shoes and little hats and things like that. Luckily, thanks to BabyGaga, I found almost everything I was looking for from people selling their kids clothes. I didn't have specific items but like specific types and I have found them. I have about $135 worth of stuff being held for him until the money is deposited. I will still do a little shopping out and about but I don't feel the need to buy alot of stuff anymore for him. Just a few more little basic things. Now me on the other hand, I definitely need a new wardrobe. I hate pretty much all of my shirts. I have no jeans that fit me right now because I'm still too fat. I need a few more pairs of flats. I am going to buy a few jeans, if I can find any, and shirts here in town but I'm not gonna buy alot because I want to do some shopping when we get back home next month. I'm gonna buy Mark some clothes also, he will be easy to shop for. He doesn't care to have alot and he will look good with what I pick out for him haha.
So yea on Feb 13th we'll be on our way back home again. I can not wait. We'll get there the next day on Valentine's Day <3. I'm interested to see how this trip will be with a baby this time. Hopefully not too bad. I hope he doesn't make us stop too often. We are staying home for nearly a month, until March 10th or 11th. Mark already put in the dates but I can't remember exactly which day it was that we will be coming back. So yea this is going to be a BADASS vacation. My family is super excited because they will finally be able to meet Joseph. I can't wait for them to meet him either, and my friends.
Ok well I guess this will be good for now. Hopefully that money shows up tonight at midnight, usually does, so that I can pay for all of this clothes on paypal. And so I can go shopping tomorrow! >D
