Now this is going to turn into a whinny post bear with me...
Everyone knows I do ebay, I love it and wish I could do it full time. My ebay income is totally makes up for whatever money we need that is NOT in our budget, like stuff for the kids, when cars need inspected and vacations. I was hoping to use my ebay income to pay down some debt this year since last year almost all my ebay for at least half the year went toward fertility treatment.
Well I went back to work last week and we work on grants, I drive alot for my job and we reimbursed through my work. for mileage and wear and tear on my car, which is great b/c I drive SUV. Now my mileage money is worked into my monthly budget, it is usually the same amount every month b/c I drive to the same places every month.
So to get to the point, I have not gotten a check in a while b/c I was on maternity leave, which is fine b/c I had ebay money... I get back to work last week and learned that not only I have to still do my job and drive as normally but they will not be reimbursing mileage checks until further notice... Why you ask... B/c we work in education and our great state has not set a budget yet. Which means all educational services including school districts have not gotten their money yet for the 2009 / 2010 school years. I am grateful they are not laying people off just yet, but it might happen until this gets straightened out. People are worried and so am I.
But since I have not gotten the money I need from mileage in the last few months b/c of being off I have been using ebay money, but now that I am back to work driving like crazy, I am spending money again... Need my mileage check to cover it. This will be coming out of my ebay money... So I figured out what I needed to cover myself for the next two months in order to not rely on my mileage check and it is $1000.00 I nearly passed out. OMG how are we going to do this?
Guess I have to keep reminding myself I am grateful, grateful grateful to have my job and getting my regular pay check.

Thoughts?
I am thinking of starting a community blog where tips from real life moms can be posted and anyone can contribute...
when I mean tips, thing that worked for you that you can not find in the baby books... like how to get rid of cradle cap or one tip that always helped me with getting my kids to sttn, was to do everything in the dark etc... I also thought I could alsp post product reveiws from mommies & advice about tttcing etc, It would cover tttc, pregnancy & parenting, mish mosh of anything baby related
I could have people email me their advice and a new tip would be posted everyday and categoried...
Would this be something you read and contribute to?
Plus I need a catchy title.

what do you do
when both girls are napping... read blogs and message boards, when I should be doing dishes and wash.
Back to the OB...
Not for what you think ... I wish
I was there today for a u/s b/c I have been spotting red for the last few weeks and they were afraid that some of the placenta was still stuck in there. Well the verdict is my uterus was empty (sad to see) and nothing in there to cause the spotting, so they chalked it up to me breastfeeding, so I left the office and went to buy new pants and when I went into the dressing room I was MORE then spotting... It went all the way through my tan pants! Needless to say I did not get new pants and now it has stopped, maybe they moved some things around in there and I started to bleed. Sorry for the TMI post... but it was frustrating... But the u/s tech did point out I have one follie!!! A little one but it is there, no we are not planning on using that follie (not that it would happen so easily) but it was kinds bitter sweet b/c last time I saw a follie it would turn into my Camryn.
