So, it's been a while eh?

I just haven't been in the posting mood. Not to say that I haven't had things to post about, just haven't felt that I could adequately describe them or how I felt about them.

I am stressed. Stressed about money, mostly. The spouse and I swapped and now I am handling the money and he is putting the dishes away. I have a bad back, so in many ways this trade favored me. I am concerned about money mostly and the fact that I cannot find a fulltime position in a field I trained in. One good thing I can say about my current job is that if I die on the way to or from it, my hubby can finally pay off our bills with the exception of my student loans. They will rot in hell before I pay that back. Making a teacher pay that much money to get certified/licensed and then only offering $36K/year? What kind of crack are these people smoking?

Two of my favorite bloggers (Crissy & Kristy) are pregnant. I wish them well but I am so damned jealous.And because I know where we are financially, I know that we can't add to our family. This fucking kills me.

There has been a snowstorm in our area of the Pacific NW. They are saying that it is the worst storm in 40 years. Maybe so, maybe not.. Being stuck in the house has been okay for me. The kids are doing okay but the hubby has been working from home and he has been a little cabin-feverish. He was finally able to get the office today, and frankly I think he was happy to do so.

In any case, Happy New Year and お正月おめでとうございます！
