So whats new ladies ???????

[HALEY]

I keep reading the same old stuff here, come on ladies anything new???

Mike is finally coming home this weekend,, YAHOOO,,, tell you what i give ALL you single mothers 100% credit.... it's hard.... especially if you work to do everything, im so use to cleaning in the dark its not even funny, i scrubbed the shower now while im in it... its crazy.....

otherwise not to much new with me, almost got my Christmas shopping done, not hard this year since we 1/2 our list due to the economy, stinks but... Got Micah a couple toys.. they still have me only 4 days a week, hopefully that will change the first of the year, they said scrap prices went up some.. so we will see..

We have been a little slow on here the last few days, haven't we? I guess that since Thanksgiving there just hasn't been too much to post. Plus, I think that everyone's busy getting ready for Christmas.

I know that it's been hard on you with your husband gone but at least you both still have jobs. There's a lot of people that are in much worse shape but I really don't need to remind you of that.

I don't think that it hurts to cut back on your Christmas shopping because so many times the ones that we shop for don't need more stuff anyway. I have quite a lot to get for just because my family is so large and then we have parents. I'm jealous that you're almost done because I've barely started!!!

Yes i am thankful we still have our jobs, the news last night that Sony is closing, so depressing especially around Christmas. Very sad time to live in right now, i just hope that Obama has a plan, cause the future don't look so bright anymore.

Does Sony closing affect you? Or your community?

I haven't been here quite as often, just trying to get things really caught up around here. Then of course I spend a lot of time playing with the babies. Trying to get some shopping done. I wish the tradition of shopping for gifts never started...why couldn't it have been more like Thanksgiving. Seems like even though I'm off during the day, it's hard to go anywhere without having to watch the clock so I won't be late picking up the students.

Haley,
Thanks for posting something new. We are in a rut..............We are very slow at work. Wish I could get on here at work but can't. No need to beat a dead horse. Glad your hubby will be home soon. That will help.

No, a friend of mine use to work there. The scrap and steel prices affect me...

i so agree with Janet and Nina, we cut way back on the adult gifts, we went from $50.00 gift certificates down to $25.00. and i'm not even getting Christmas cards of Micah made this year, were getting Christmas pictures just taken of Micah and were only getting the special package that they have no more...
When Mike gets home were going to have to re-do our budget, cause with them cutting my hours and the cc are charged again were going to cut more things out. I even asked him to ask his mother if she can watch Micah on Thursdays until i got back to full time, so i can only put micah in daycare 3 days a week, that will also help...
