Less Uncertain

Well, Steve opted to become a contractor at his work so that he doesn't have to stay in school to keep the job. So, he's working full-time now. In the meantime, though, Steve is looking for a better job. He enjoys what he's doing but I'd like him to get something more permanent. We're going to get the internet at home so that Steve doesn't have to leave all the time to get on the internet to apply for jobs.

After looking at our expenses, it appears that, if I stopped work, under a budget, we can survive. Steve has to bag his lunches and only get new computer games and music for birthdays/holidays, we may have to eat out and go to the movies less often, and buy less of the nonessential food items like chips and ice cream. Also, we may have to eventually lose our cell phones and get a home phone. Apart from those things, I don't see anything else that we may be willing to cut out.

Health Update: Still sick. I have an appointment tomorrow. Steve is going to come too because he wants more proof that I'm actually pregnant. hah.

because the vomitting isn't enough proof?? note to Steve: be careful what you say now, it will all come back to you when this woman is in labor

Yikes! Well yes, the vomiting is enough proof for him. It's just that it's difficult for him to fathom yet that there is an actual little living thing inside of me and he wants the experience of seeing it on the sonogram.

Exciting and fun! Congratulations on the budgetary revelations. A bit of sacrifice for something better is well worth it. We're going light on the chips and ice cream too.

Oh hogwash! Tammy doesn't know ANYTHING about REAL labor.

Totally hilarious...I first started reading the comment and was thinking, "Hogwash. That's weird. I've never heard Sarah use that word..." Living light is easier when you never have the time or energy to do anything. I'm sure you guys will figure out a way to make it work.
