Yay! We got our tax refund today! About half of it is already gone, because we had so many things to pay. But it feels really good to get some things taken care of, and behind us. I have so many other things I want to do with it, I can’t decide what to do first. We need so much and it’s just not enough to do everything we want. Some things will have to wait. I know one thing I’m doing, is buying some new clothes for myself. I’m waiting until I lose a little more weight. So far, I’m down 12 lbs. They say that every 15 lbs brings you down a size, but I think that I may have to lose around 20 lbs to go down a size. That just doesn’t seem like enough to me. But it will be nice to have some new clothes, I’m still wearing stuff that I’ve had for the past 6 years, including some maternity tops. And as soon as I do get some new things, that stuff is going to have to go!! Because this Mama, won’t be needing them anymore!

My husband got a call the other day from one of the BEST casinos on the Gulf Coast, The Beau Rivage.  They want him to come in on Tuesday for an audition.  We are heading down that way on Monday, stopping on the way at a friend’s house to spend the night, then heading down first thing Tuesday morning to take a look around before he goes to his interview/audition.

We are so excited!  We have heard such wonderful things about the schools down there, and right now that is our main concern, plus my husband will be making TONS more.  So that helps too.  I have decided to go with him, because I want to see how things look down there.  I know that it isn’t perfect yet, but I have heard that they have made a lot of progress since Katrina.

Also, I think I am really ready for a change.  We have been here in my home town for over 8 years now, and we just really don’t see a future for our kids here.  It’s such a small town, and there is nothing here for them to do.  I have been looking at housing, which is quite a bit more than here, but he should be making more money, so it should even out.

As soon as we get back, I’ll post an update on how things went….Wish us luck!!!

My husband’s payroll check wasn’t in our account like it was supposed to be today.  Their actual payday is on Mondays, but usually it shows up in our account on Saturdays.  So let’s just say I was pretty pissed.  We are stuck for two days without any money, and we are not sure what’s going on, because the bank said they didn’t even see a deposit pending for Monday!

What kills me, is that my husband is so nonchalant about the whole situation.  Here I am, freaking out, and he acts like he could care less!  He’s very confident that it will be there on Monday, and I’m NOT so confident.

 And even worse, I wasn’t able to go buy my new Harry Potter book this weekend!  I’m going to have to wait until Monday.  ARGGGHHH!!!!!
