I think that people that vacation at the beach like to pretend that the people who live there don't have to have jobs. I keep reading all of these status updates about people's vacations, and how they want to live there. Blah! Umm hello! I live right next to the beach, and I haven't been there in a couple of weeks! I don't get to go everyday. I would love to, but that requires either going by myself or convincing my husband to go after he gets off of work. Relaxing by the beach while you are on vacation is so much different than relaxing by the beach when you get off of work. I mean you get off of work, drive home, and THEN you have to get your chairs together for the beach, get back into your car that you just sat in for an hour, and drive to the beach, pay to park, get out with all of your beach stuff, and then take all of it down to the beach, relax before the sun goes down, grab all of your stuff, get back to the car, drive back home, and leave your beach stuff in your car until the next day. Ugh, now I see why we only go to the beach on the weekend. Another thing that is different is when I go on vacation to the beach (I don't know about ya'll), I forget all of my every day worries. I don't worry about bills or what I am forgetting to take care of. I just enjoy my worry free vacation with family. If I forgot something, I will just grab it at the Wal-mart. I wish I could do that here. I would have to take a week off of work just to enjoy the beach and pretend like I am on vacation.
I think all of that came from the offer my mom offered me this afternoon. You already know she offered to fly me home. Well today she offers to move me home. My hubby was totally not going for that one. He and I feel the same way about California. It isn't home. We would love to be home, but we love it here too. I just wish I could fly home at any given time. Then at the same time, I know how much cheaper it is to live in TN. I was looking on a foreclosure website tonight, and there was a house on there 2br/2ba that was only 79,000 (in TN). I know foreclosures are not always ideal, but I am just giving an example. I mean, if Jack and I were to move back to TN, we could live at my grandfather's house for free. My grandfather is currently in an assisted living place by choice. We could save up money for a down payment on a house while living there. All of the money we spend here just to pay the rent. We could have a house payment that is sooo much cheaper than what we pay now! It really is tempting. After hearing how much my brother and his wife are going to have to pay just to put Hailey in daycare, it totally scares me out of even giving birth in California. I mean if it costs that much to put a child in daycare there, I can only imagine what it costs here! Holy Crap! It is almost 1000 bucks a month for a newborn according to !this website. No freakin' way!
South Beach Restart in the morning! Whoot! I went grocery shopping today! My hubby came home and said, "Wow! There is food in the fridge! You went all out today!" I then informed him it was all healthy! :) I am excited to lose the next 25! Yay to saying goodbye to that number 2!
2 more days of working at this store.
We are talking about coming home the second week of August even though I really wanna be there in July! The only problem with August is knowing that school is probably going to be starting back up. I told my husband that, and he said, "So, we will spend mornings with my mom and evenings with your parents" Just seems a little unfair to me. There is less time in the evenings. I still want to convince him to just drive across country with me, and then he can fly home when he has to...more time for me in Tennessee! Hell I could probably work while I am there if I really wanted to! :)
