My husband is mad at me..he says he's not, but he is...he's mad because he had to give up his spot in his annual fantasy football league because he's not working and I can't justify spending $50.00 on "fun stuff" right now when there are things we are sacrificing. Yes, we do get a pizza occassionally and yes I buy BA1 a toy here and there, but if we didn't incorporate stuff like that into our daily schedules we would go nuts...
My husband tells me (and would tell you) that fantasy football doesn't take up as much time as I make it out to, but it really does. He's constantly checking stats, changing players, trash talking on the boards.
The deal was he could do fantasy football if he had a job by the draft date..well the draft date is quickly approaching and nothing has come up. He took on a bouncing job at a bar a few nights a week so he can bring in extra cash and thought that he could use that money for his league. Normally that would make sense, but we have car insurance bill coming up in September, I haven't gotten a hair cut in seriously 5 months..and look like complete ass...BA1 needs some new clothes because he is growing out of all of his and doesn't have any fall clothes...and we have been scrimping on groceries and paying only the minimum on our credit card bills...doesn't it make more sense to contribute that money to our monthly budget, or am I being unreasonable by asking him to give up fantasy football?

Stressed backwards is desserts. Where are my desserts?
Things have been super hectic to say the least…Mr. Awesome is still un-employed..can’t seem to find anything..it really is sucky…but everyone keeps telling me that everything happens for a reason..I sure hope that’s right. Then onto my wonderful job which has decided to move me to a new location, which makes my commute about an hour each way as opposed to my 20 minute/30 minute drive now…ugh, as if we can afford the extra gas right now. But, be thankful I still have a job.
Oh yea, about my job. Let me just explain that our company started this new plan in March called “Project Fuel” their goal is make the company run more efficiently so they can compete with more companies in their line of work. Sounds good right? WRONG-O…at our company Project Fuel has such a horrible meaning to so many people. They are laying off people left and right and without any warning, other than the fact that they were going to be laying off 1400 people within the next 2 years….WTF….
Anyways, we were told about a month ago that consultants were in looking at our department for possibly outsourcing..wonderful. They won’t give us anymore information. So we are left hanging. Will we have a job in a month, will we be laid off? Who knows…all I know is the severance package I would get would only cover my for about 6 weeks..not much at all….and BA1 needs some health insurance.
Our van (which we bought as a used car about 3 months ago as a back up car) is doing weird things. It’s like it’s possessed or something. The electric sliding door just randomly opens and closes..yea that’s awesome huh? Need to get that fixed. Will be starting a FUND for that soon, you can donate to theawesomeclan@gmail.com ..Kidding kidding!
Baby Awesome has been teething, which is a totally different experience than when he got his first 2 teeth..this has proven to be fun. Let me tell you..Hylands teething tablets are a GODSEND..and if you have babies at home or will be..GET THEM..and always have them on hand!!!!!!! Side note: You can also get the liquid form at Target (in a Winnie the Pooh bottle) and you just put one dropper full under their tongue, then you don’t have to rub their gums.
I’ve been exhausted, Mr. Awesome has been playing softball every Tuesday and Friday and is also involved in other activities that take up a little more time as well..overall we have basically been super busy…and super stressed.
Hopefully better things are on the horizon!
