Finally, my husband is getting a bonus. yay! $12,500. Of course, a lot of that will be taken away in taxes but still, so happy!
We are paying off 3 credit cards,
1. chase
2. newegg
3. gap
That will leave us with 3 credit cards
1. BOFA (balance 7,350)
2. Lowes (balance 1800.00)
3. Capitol One (balance 2,440)
So, we are taking the payments of the 3 that we are paying off and adding it to the Capitol One Card because of the 3 left that has the highest interest rate. After that we will tackle lowes and last but definitely not least the beast that is bank of america.
If M. gets an end of the year bonus close to the same amount then hopefully we will be credit card free by 2010. I'm going to cross my fingers.
We went over our long term budget last night and wrote down all our goals for our house and misc. We have a lot of projects we want to get done around the house but alas, will have to wait for the cash. We also decided that we need to built up an emergency fund NOW. We would like to have 25,000 in it but thats going to take awhile.
As my husband says now, we are a "cash only family." And we are! Never thought that could happen. I can't imagine life without credit card payments.
In other news I found a Best Buy gift card in my purse for $20 so I used $13 of it to buy "The Biggest Loser Boot Camp Workout." If I can get off my lazy butt I will try it today.
My doctor prescribed Restoril for me yesterday. I am having trouble sleeping and when I have to switch from midnights to days it's horrible. So I am going to take one tonight since I have to get up at 5:30am tomorrow.
So, my work schedule is crazy this weekend. Work Saturday 7-3, then come home and sleep and go back to work at 11p and work until 11a on Sunday. I must have been crazy to agree to that but another nurse needed Saturday night off. phew...
E. is going to Lake Erie with a friend whose family owns a house on the lake. It worries me. I don't like my children going near water without me around. So I am saying lots of prayers. She will be back Sunday evening.
M. is working in Cleveland for the day and should be home around 6p. Hopefully we can go biking on the trail today.
We bought a new sheet set at Kohls. They are pale pink. So I will check that off my goal list!
Have a good weekend everybody...I'll be working!
