I have been MIA from my blog for about 2 months now, which is no excuse!! But I do have some reasons why this has happened..I MOVED and I got a JOB. Yep in May the hubby and I decided we wanted to move back to the city I went to college in. He found a job and within a week we found a place and moved that weekend!! I even live next door to my cousin! We found a 1 bedroom house to rent and really like it. So now I'm a working wife all over again.
The two hardest parts of being a working wife:
- Not seeing the hubby as much
- No time to do the chores!!
Ahh so how does a wife balance everything?! Well I am lucky to have one of those awesome hubby's that will help out (if you ask him a few times) We alternate who does the dishes/trash, we do deeper cleaning on the weekend, and we do our own laundry. I also cook a large dish on Sundays so that we don't have to cook as much during the week. I don't know about all of you but after an 8 hour shift and getting home at 7 p.m. I am in no mood to cook and neither is my hubby.
So whats my new focus now that life is better?
- Eating healthy
- Budgeting our money
Yep we have loans that I want to pay off sooner and the only way to do that is to budget every cent we earn. Oh and I learned a hard lesson about health insurance with this new job (my hubbys job does not offer it) A whole weeks pay pretty much going into it a month for a DISCOUNT insurance (not a major insurance) It makes me a little sad to work so hard and to pay so much for insurance that won't cover much but its better than nothing. Shopping for health insurance taught me all of the unfair rules behind it and how expensive it really is (remember I'm only 23 so this is the first time I have had to do this) But I will blog more about that fun subject next time..I am off to work have a wonderful 4th of July!!
