Colds, Debt, Taxes and New Schedules OH MY!

Boy has this been a week! I came down with the cold from hell and the MOST ANNOYING cough I have EVER had in my life! I tried every over the counter medicine I could find and NOTHING worked! Finally, after Jake had plowed snow all night and we were both trying to sleep (and my coughing was making that impossible for both of us!) we decided I should probably go to the doctor. Luckily, they got me right in, gave me some antibiotics and codine (my new best friend) and sent me on my way. I was feeling better almost immediately. But then mason got it :( Not the cough, but the rest of the cold. So off to another dr. appt we go! Only to be told that he has a cold! duh! but the good news is everyone seems to be feeling better now!

Our goal this year is to get rid of all unnecessary debt! And I CANNOT wait! We paid off all of our credit card debt last year which was great! I have managed to pay cash for everything this year including ALL of christmas and our annual summer vacation with my parents! Which I am so proud of! But there are still a few annoying things hanging over our heads (mainly business expense things from jake's company) that NEED TO GO! So I have been reading up on debt eliminating plans and I think we are ready to get started! Wish us luck! I am fairly good at sticking to a plan but keeping "you know who" on track can be a challenge!

TAX TIME! I want to say that I am so proud of Jake this year! Since getting our new office set up he has been working diligently on getting his 2010 taxes ready to go to the accountant! usually he is struggling to get everything done about April 10th :) So this is a big deal!

This week I start a new schedule at work. It has its good and bad points. So I am interested to see how it goes. I will be doing 3 12 hr shifts (7p-7a) in a row. So you can see where the good and the bad come in! But it DOES give me an extra day at home with Mason which I LOVE but LESS sleep which I HATE. So we will see how it goes! Have a great week everyone!
