Well 2 weeks from tomorrow we leave for FL. Still have details to work out, like who is taking us to the airport and picking us up when we return, borrowing a suitcase or two. Last night John tells me that he is worried about the trip. Feeling like something bad is going to happen. NOT what I want to hear. I just tell him that is his negativeness coming out, as it usually does. Then he points out everything that has gone wrong, or cost us unexpectedly since we decided to go on this vacation.

1) Kyle's car being stolen

2) Me blowing a tire on our SUV

3) SUV needing brake job that was $400

4) Bathroom in the basement needing a new flush-up pump at the tune of $300, not counting the labor.

So say some prayers. Pray that I don't kill him before we even leave on vacation. Pray that nothing else comes up before we leave. Pray that we can have a safe trip and a good time. I often say that John has forgotten how to have a good time. Seriously, I think he has. :(

Anyway, my job at the dental office has been stressful. I'm still not sure about this new office manager. Then there is the turnover there. Makes me wonder if I will have a job to come back to, even though I'm the only one there that knows how to use QuickBooks. (Oh I have to train the mgr. how to do a couple things in it for when I'm on vacation. Can't let deposits go for 2 weeks especially when it's the end of the month) Several friends said that no PT job is worth that stress. I was really hoping to make it a FT job when school starts but I'm not sure that will happen either by the comment the mgr. made when I reminded her that I wanted to take on more hours. Maybe I just took it wrong. Don't know.

On another job front, I'm going this week with my friend to his accountant to learn a new bookkeeping program, PeachTree. He bought it for his business and wants me to do his books. The only bad thing is that John doesn't want me working for this friend of OURS because he is afraid that something will happen between him and I. We are FRIENDS!!!!! I'm going to do it anyway. It won't be many hours and I can use the extra $ and our friend needs my help. He's still trying to get his business going strong and really can't afford a real secretary. Plus he doesn't even have a real office.

My kids are driving me crazy, 2 over money, and one just because it is summer and he doesn't have enough to keep him busy. School starts in 1 month.

My dh told me yesterday that he's never heard of Smores. Where has he been living?? Under a rock??? I know that we've gone places and had them but I guess he doesn't remember. He's not a sweets type person. But still I KNOW he's at least HEARD of them. What brought this whole convo on was that my SIL brought over stuff to make them yesterday. They came for a cookout at our house. We had a nice time. They haven't been over in like a year or so. Crazy when they live 20 minutes away. But hey, I got tired going out of my way to invite them and then have them decline or change their minds at the last minute and not come. This time they invited themselves which was fine with me. At least I didn't have to deal with my DH alone. But DH keep watching what I was eating and gave me a really hard time about eating 1 Smore. My SIL really got to see what he was like. She brought so much stuff to make smores that she was going to leave some of it for us. Well DH packed it all up and took it to their car before she had the chance. When she found out she marched right out there and put some in a bag. I went out too taking some of the other stuff they needed to take home with them. We traded bags then. John about had a cow when he saw the stuff. I think KNOW that he counted everything that was in there. UGH!!!! I of course, heard about about going to the Y in the morning. Then again this morning when I got up he kept mentioning us going to the Y. I went, even though I didn't want to go. I went to keep the peace. I texted my friend from the Y "Help, I'm dying!!!" Text back "dying????" I replyed "Yes, I'm dying because I'm being made work off the 1 Smore that I ate yesterday"  LOL I swear I'm REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY sick of living with this crap.

Now for the good news for the week. I guess there are several good things to report.

#1 Shane's baseball team won their championship. He's so proud.

#2 Kyle came home this weekend. His car isn't as bad as I expected it to be. He also started working his new job this week. I pray that it continues to go well.

#3 Kristy is working more hours. She will be starting to serve since there were 2 girls fired for coming to work drunk.

#4 Last but not least, I rescheduled our vacation for the last 2 week in Aug. I'm so glad we aren't having to wait until Thanksgiving to go to FL.
