Welcome!


  Well hello there!  I know i created this blog a long time ago, I had every intention to keep up with it, but as time went on, I continued to neglect my blog.   I promise I will try harder this time!


  Unfortunately, I live a very non eventful life, I am very much a homebody, I enjoy playing on my laptop, or watching endless hours or netflix with my Babe.  


  Speaking of my Babe, Brad, he is currently unemployed :( Bummer I know, trust me!  We went from being comfortable, (financially) with a savings plan, a goal with our taxes, and being happy to not being so comfortable, not a dime in savings and our taxes will go to bills.  Yay.... I am not by nature a depressed or sad person, so it may seem like it isn't effecting me but it is so dang hard.  


  Why you ask was he fired from his job?  Well he was working for Lamb Weston, a potato plant as a package operator (I think that's what his title was called) They are given 12 credits a year, for sick days or what have you.  He was running pretty low on them, and once they hit 5, his supervisor is supposed to have him sign a form notifying him he is running low.  He called out 4 more days, worked 5 or 6 days got a phone call saying he was fired for attendance.  How could that be?  He should have still had 1 credit left!?  Apparently not. His supervisor had him sign a wrong form, Brad talked to his HR manager and in the end even though it was their fault, they still fired him.  It was right before my birthday at the beginning of November.  He has still had no luck finding a job, being fired for attendance is quite the big deal!  He is such a hard worker I just wish some where will give him a chance!  


 See you again for a not so entertaining post:)
