Yesterday, a man came and took measurements of our house for the new carpeting we are getting. It needed to be replaced when we bought the place, and the babies have ruined it further. Lacey was not house trained when we got her...She's only barely so now...
We sellected a Berber that costs .69c a square foot. It's not very attractive, (We had originally planned to get wood floors) but it is cheap and servicable. It's not really unattractive, I just don't happen to like carpet. Hopefully it will help when we are ready to sell the place.
Saron had to go to the doctor yesterday and get xrays of his foot; he may have broken it when he accedentally slammed into a box full of books last week. I was sure then that he had broken a toe, but now it seems he may have broken some bones up higher in his foot. It is swollen and bruised and he can't really bend his toes.
At least we are still insured through next month!
We are running out of places for Saron to apply. Places in his field, I mean. There are lots of entry positions out there, but they don't want to hire some one with 12+ years experience.
I've been told that I'm 'too qualified' as well. I have 13+ years of supervisory experience. Everyone seems to want newbies. They can pay them less. I guess that's more important than having people you can trust to actually get the job(s) done.
We both posted things we love for sale on ebay yesterday. It was hard - I love my books, I don't want to give them up. But as long as Saron keeps selling his prized Transformers, then I have to let things go as well. It will be more money for the bills, at least.
There have been some good things that have happened:
We discovered just how wonderful our friends are - at Sunday School last Sunday, our classmates presented us with a $200.00 gift credit card. I almost cried. They are such wonderful, loving people. We are blessed to know them!
I haven't yet taken all of my art supplies to storage, and so was able to make them each a thank you card. It was nice to take some time and be creative. I also am making bookmarks for them.
The other nice thing that happened is Saron's parents gave us a Honda Accord! Free!!! They signed it over to Saron Monday morning. I get to drive it. I used to have a Honda Civic and have missed it. This is even better! It has a moon roof!!! I feel so fancy in it!!!!
Yeah, yeah, I'm easily pleased, but can you imagin? A free car that is in great shape? That's what we got!! Saron and I are both blessed with the best parents anyone can hope to have!
I must now go search for the next places for us to apply. Hopefully, the unemployment checks come today. I have to pay some bills.
Oh, and if you think you can't get your power bill down when it's cold, I can tell you that you can - ours for last month was $33.00!! Wear lots of sweaters and thick socks!!!!
