Finding the silver lining

Ultimately we decided not to get our cars back. In order to get them back the bank wanted to put a lien against our house and we just weren't willing to do that. That seemed like the worst decision to make. We found Dh a little economy commuter car yesterday, so he's back to work today. We're going to buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee from Dh's cousin that's in really good shape and they only want $1,500 for it. So now we have vehicles that are paid for, or at least will be paid for soon. That's going to dramatically improve our financial situation. Once the vehicles are auctioned then we'll make payment arrangements with the bank for the rest of the balance.

The kids are back to school. Thank goodness I have some time to myself again. I really like having my time to do my housework and some time to relax and just do what I want. Tomorrow I'm going to go see Smokin' Aces. I wanted to go see Catch and Release, but it's not playing at a good time so I can go while the kids are at school. I'm really enjoying this whole a movie a week thing. I love going to the movies and I can see whatever I want to see. I don't have to listen to dh complain about what we're watching. He's very picky about movies. Actually he's very picky about everything.

A few months ago I cut my hair really short. In the mornings now I always wake up with a major case of bed head. Last week while I was doing my hair I put gel in it and just made it stick straight up. My hair was still wet, I hadn't dried it that way. I went to see the kids and asked them what they thought. Mikel just laughed at me, and Katie said,"wow mom. That's not awesome". Ah my daughter, the fashion/style critic.
