Medical issues

On Wed this week I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Kinda crazy since I'm only 22, but I'm just glad I finally have a reason for being so exhausted and cold all the time!
I like the Mayo clinic's website on the subject if you care for some info:

So I've been on my meds for 3 days now and I've got to say, I feel WONDERFUL compared to what I felt like before. And the meds are supposed to take a few weeks before being fully effective, so I'm super happy.

Anyways, the cost of health knowledge will be here soon enough, but only took 2 dr visits and some bloodwork. Hopefully not too pricey.

Taking a vacation day tomorrow..

Too bad it's not for fun. My DH's grandma is having some medical issues and we'd like to go see her. So, tomorrow off work, back to work on Thursday, then off Friday! The only good thing about this week is that it's short =) Happy 4th of July to everyone. Don't spend too much on fireworks, but don't deny yourself any fun either.

Big financial change

We ended up buying a second car here recently. I was going to need transportation for going to school after work and having my husband be able to run by the daycare to pick up the kids or once school starts, daycare and by school. It's a used car, but of course we couldn't pay outright so we financed it. So pretty much taking the risk of buying a vehicle so I can attend school and hopefully improve our finances eventually once I receive my bachelor's degree.
Pretty much, I haven't been able to stop using the credit cards yet as I was scraping all of our spare money from our paycheck to use for tags & title on the car. Baby steps, right? First, admit you have a problem =) I'm so there.

Finally Back

I'm back and hopefully strong enough to continue my push to eliminate my debt. I will be posting with my current debts as soon as I figure them out. I honestly haven't counted it up since around January.

Starting over

The New Year is the perfect excuse to get me back on track! I'm officially starting over. I will collect our debts and savings and first thing we're doing is getting money in that savings account! Once I have that $1000, I will plan our debt attack!

If there's anyone out there still checking the site, please stay tuned =)

A little late I know.. so shoot me =P

Hello!

I know, I know! I've been gone forever and a day! Let's see, speed recap: I got better, had crazy amounts of work, got sick again, both kids got sick, and just now am starting to almost feel better. So here I am again! Debt has gone up due to a new hobby, savings has gone down slightly, and DH has started to read Dave Ramsey's Your Total Money Makeover, so maybe he can get us on track.

New hobby is Geocaching! I'm excited about it, but we did have to spend money on a decent GPS unit to get started. After the GPS, we shouldn't need to buy anything and it should help us get some exercise.

Quick update

I'm feeling much better than I was in my last post. But no worries, I went to work everyday last week and actually I was feeling almost normal by Tuesday. So anyways, just wanted to give everyone a quick update so y'all know I'm not dead or anything =P Anyways, I'll be gathering up my update from last month... since I always put it off =D

Not financial at all..

I just want a place to whine for a minute... I HATE BEING SICK! I've come down with some type of sickness... I didn't feel well on Friday at work, but I decided it was kinda pointless to leave since I'd just have to come back and pick up DH. So, pretty much after work when I got home I was miserable. I was wearing flannel pajama pants, a 3/4 length shirt & jacket, socks, and finally had to put 2 comforters on me to get warm. My whole body hurt, throat hurt, and I was totally miserable. I do feel better now, but my throat is just painful. It hurts to swallow anything /cry

Anyway, that's my whine.. I'm getting better and hopefully will be rested up enough to go back to work on Monday.
