Well hello Murphy…
Nice to see you again *insert eye roll here*. My car is on the fritz. It often doesn’t start or stalls out at a stop. It’s currently sitting at Firestone b/c they didn’t have any appointments today and Hubby couldn’t get it started again. So he called a friend to give him a ride home.
He’s also going to have to have someone give him a ride to and from work today because HIS car won’t start!
We’re trying to start our debt snowball (a la Dave Ramsey) and we were just about to start it this month when…Murphy strikes. We’ll have to use our emergency fund to pay for fixing our cars and then get the emergency fund RE-funded and THEN re-start our snowball.
Ugh.
In other news: The Air Force ball is on Friday the 17th this year. This is horrible timing. See my CPST course is 4 days (16th, 17th, and 24tth, 25th). I assumed (there I go again) that the Ball would be ON the 18th (The Air Force’s birthday) which is Saturday. After all, that would make sense right? A Saturday would be better b/c you won’t have to let people out of work early and blah, blah, blah. No such luck. It’s on the 17th and it starts at 5:30. My course goes until 5:00. It takes a half an hour to get from the course to where the ball is. That’s not including rush hour and Friday night “going to Waikiki” traffic. It would take me at LEAST an hour to get there. Plus, no time to do my hair or makeup. This means we can’t go this year and I’m really upset about it. I have been looking forward to this for MONTHS. 🙁 I knew exactly what I was going to wear. I’ve been thinking of ways to make it work and it’s just not going to. 🙁
Of course, since I can’t wear my ball gown this year I may as well go ahead and get pregnant and have another baby right? That was one of the things holding me back from having another baby. I know it’s selfish but I just didn’t want to have to wear a maternity dress to the Ball. I want to wear my gown and I can’t do that if I’m pregnant. Although I doubt I’d be able to get into it next year if I’m only 4 months post-partum (unless I really, actually, exercise post baby and even that’s not a guarantee).
I’m just really upset that we can’t go. I had been looking forward to this for so long! 🙁
