The phone is slowly beginning to ring...

Dh has his first interview scheduled for next Thursday afternoon. It's a small shop looking to expand. He got the lead from a salesperson friend who is also looking over his resume and will hand it out if he can(he services a majority of the print shops in the area). The only downside is it's quite a drive from here. We shall see though and it's a start.

He also got a lead on another job. It's closer, a big company, but better run then where he was. He originally saw the ad listed on Monster.com but he now has the direct number of the person who is doing the hiring. Of course he got that number late in the day on Friday so he will have to wait until Tuesday morning before he can use it.

I thought I was freaked last time but man, this time I'm so afraid. I know it can just as quickly turn around but man, having faith is not my strong suit.

It does help that he got paid for the consulting he did last week. We were able to get to the grocery store and use that money(with some left over) to pay for it all so we didn't have to touch our savings(what little there is). I think I did well money wise. I took the sales flyer and tried to buy only what was on sale. We also went to a bread outlet for all the bread products and another store for the milk, juice, eggs and butter. It is a relief to know that we will at least eat for the next week. What is it with kids that they want to eat all the food the second it comes in the house? Of course with 3 stops instead of just one, grocery shopping took all morning instead of just 1 1/2 but Billy was willing to go with me so that helped.

The kids are bit tired and whiny today but that's to be expected. We went last night to see some free fireworks. A nearby racetrack puts on a display after their last race. We were able to park in a parking lot across the street and hung out in a nearby field to watch the display. We were directly across the street from where they were setting them off. I don't think I've ever been closer to a display than I was last night. It was amazing!! The were so close and took up so much of your field of vision it was almost like you could touch them. The people watching before hand was pretty entertaining too!!

Tomorrow is the Lodge breakfast. We were going to skip but now free breakfast and lunch sounds pretty good right about now. Plus we really don't need anymore time off.

Monday night we are going to another town to see more free fireworks and maybe one day next week we are going to the beach. It's only $4 for a day pass and not something we normally get to do.
