How much money would change your life?

We've been Powerball crazy at work. Against my constant reminder that it's a bad idea, my work facilitates the group buying of lottery tickets. About 1/3 of the employees go in together and buy a ton of tickets. What would they do if we won? I'm assuming most would not come back. I guess that's not my problem since I'd be with the winners.

I got to thinking about it. Sure 113 Million would be great, or even 1/30 of that if we won with work. Honestly, If someone gave me $75000 if would change our lives. We'd be completely debt free (other than the house). No student loan, cars, plus there would be some left for something fun (or a few things). $200,000 would be better, but not necessary. What would we do with all that extra cash. We make enough, don't get me wrong, but no bills would leave thousands of dollars a month to play with. That would be freaking awesome. Any takers???

I'm alive!

After what was a horrible weekend, and a pretty rotten week I'm feeling better. I hate being sick. I hate throwing up. I know everyone hates it, but I despise it. I hate it with every fiber in my being. It makes me violently ill. Yuck! My hubby was great. I didn't help him all weekend with the kids and he took care of me too. I guess that's the payback for Vegas. I spent most of the time sleeping, or in the bath. At least with the flu you know what it is, what to expect, and that it will end soon. I did not have those luxuries.

On a side note, I really hate doctors. I've had some mishaps with the whole baby thing that shook my confidence some. I chalked it off to stupid Ministry not having electronic records
(wish someone I knew worked for a company that could help them out). So, when I got sick last weekend I decided to try a different place that had a walk in open. they were all high tech, computers and all, ran a ton of tests, gave me a bunch of pills to take and sent me on my way. I felt about 50% better within 24 hours, pretty impressed. My "kidney infection" must be clearing up from all the antibiotics I was on. BUT WAIT, then they call on Monday and say it was not a kidney infection. What the hell was I taking antibiotics for then??? Here's the basic exchange "Okay, it wasn't that then what was it", "Are you feeling better", "yes, but what was wrong with me" "not sure, but something we did worked so stop taking some of the drugs" and that's it. Seriously, couldn't we all do that. Take a bunch of drugs that might fix your problems and call me in the morning. What did I pay them for? There is no way that what I had was normal. I guess I won't sweat it until I find out I have some crazy disease that they should have caught. At least I can lie on my stomach again without cringing.

I am not a good little wife

I am not a good wife. I don't like cooking and cleaning and taking care of the kids by myself. I HATE that Eric has to go to Vegas for the next 4 days and I have to be here alone. I love my kids, and love spending time with them, but I like to have the option of someone else changing the diapers or making the breakfast. Let's face it, you all know Eric gets up with the baby at night so I can sleep, which means 4 nights of me jumping up at any noise. I'm not looking forward to any of it. I have the clothes laid out, the lunches laid out, easy dinners planned, but still, I'm crabby. I wouldn't make it as a single mom. I guess he knows I'll never leave him. Stupid work trips. At least next weekend is mother's day so he'll make it up to me. I do get some peace of mind in the fact that he goes every year, to the same place, with the same people, and gets almost no free time, but still, it's freaking Vegas. ARGH!
