The Hectic Month Has Come

This past couple weeks and for the next month Clinton and I have been extremely busy. Clinton started school and has been working super hard as well. He is such trooper!!

About a month ago i got a second job doing house cleaning. Call me crazy but those of you who know me well and have known me for years will know that I LOVE TO CLEAN!! I also for some odd reason like to do laundry... i think its because i love the smell of FRESH laundry. This summer i was tyring to find another job and thought that i could clean, its easy and quick easy money!! Well about a month ago i saw an add on Craig's List, i replied and a week later i was working. Really nice family with 3 children the mother works from home (love that part) and just wanted some extra help doing the cleaning and laundry!! So every Tuesday i go over to her home and spend 8 hours there, 9am-5pm. LONG DAYS...I actually didn't think it would be hard but boy was i WRONG. I typically do anywhere from 5-8 loads of laundry that day and during this time I'm cleaning.

Amie is upstairs in her office working all day and oddly enough its not weird or uncomfortable, she is super nice and we always have something to chat about. So for one day a week for 8 hours i make $15/hr @ $120 a day, only 4 days a month i make an extra $480!!! NOT BAD :)

Then Clinton's aunt heard that i was a busy cleaning bee and hired me to come help her clean a couple days a month. So even more extra playing $$!!

When i started cleaning and making extra $. Clinton told me that this extra $ was for me and not part of our budget so i was to do what ever i wanted with it. But me and my tight frugal self keeps thinking oh look how much we can save i don't want to spend money on myself.

But this month has been extra busy because we are SUPER short staffed at work and i picked up extra shifts which meant that i am working EVERY DAY with only 3days OFF this entire month!! Its a little crazy but i just got paid today and it was well worth it. On all the days i picked up to work i get payed DOUBLE time, which means i make $29/hr. I think that's fare!! Sometimes a little extra work and not much sleep or time with your husband is nice in the end. I'm only doing this because we are 29 days shy of our 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

So for our 1 YEAR we are going to take a nice little trip to San Diego :)

New Hair Cut/ Bowling and Why I Dont Cook!!

I finally got a much needed hair cut. Every year i do that same thing... which is try and grow out my hair and i don't get very far. So here is the new outcome... or should i say old!Amber (my sister-in-law) always does a GREAT job cutting my hair. Thanks Amber!

The other night Clinton and i wanted to go out and do something fun and we used to go bowling all the time when we were dating so that's what we did. I of course always LOOSE. But some odd reason i was doing really well and i was up in the first game only to be badly beat in the end. But it was fun to say the least.

What a cuttie!!He was a little upset at his last bowlfor once i was ahead!!But the 2nd game i was up by 11 points on the last bowl.... and Clinton had one bowl left and hit a strike which allowed him to bowl 2 more times.... just so I would win what does he do.... pretends to slip and hit a gutter. So I won by ONE point. What a sweet husband.. but i actually wanted to win the fight fare and square.
Funny picturesIf you didn't notice my name on the score board..... my wonderful husband gave me for bowling. well here it is (look below). I went to get a ball and came back to see my husband innocently say "you are first" as he was looking at the score board with a HUGE grin on his face. I was shocked, well not really! But I was glad we were alone and not many people were around. What can i say.... that's my husband for ya!!

Last but no least..... this is why i hate to cook or make ANYTHING. Last week while Clinton was at school i wanted to make a simple Quesadilla and this is what happened. I tried to eat most of it despite how crispy and burnt it tasted. I'm getting better and thank goodness i have a very sweet husband that tells me im a "GREAT cook".
