116.5: Verge of A Money Meltdown

Yesterday morning I caught hubby putting his shoes on upstairs.  So this morning I said "Why are you wearing shoes in the house?"  He says "Well, they were up here.  There is nothing on the bottom of my shoes."  He was irritated so I didn't reply.  But really.  That is the same thing he used to say about his flip flops although I don't know how any shoes are clean and that's why we don't wear them in the house.  There is all kinds of crap all over shoes that you can't necessarily see.  It's just annoying.  We agreed to no shoes on the house and he finds all of these little loop holes to try to break that rule when it's really very simple.  NO SHOES IN THE HOUSE!

The meltdown this time around is not about weight.  I actually went #2 twice yesterday.  Count 'em twice!  Being regular on a regular basis could really do wonders for my weight loss but it's so unpredictable and I mostly teeter on the edge of constipation.  I got home from work yesterday showered and just sort of started shoving food down my throat.  At least that's what if felt like.  I actually meant to come home and do an exercise video but I ate instead!  I have totally slacked off on my exercise.  It was cloudy and cold outside and all I wanted to do was put on some comfy cotton.  And eat.  'Cause I was starving.  So that's what I did.

Hubby calls me the other day at work and tells me that we are going to go to a wedding in Texas next month.  One of his longtime friends is basically throwing some wedding together.  There was no invitation and we get a month notice right before Christmas and right after our own very expensive home buying and wedding experience.  I asked hubby where the wedding is and he couldn't even tell me.  I think it's outside or some crap.  It's in the middle of the day too and he already said he thinks it's just some sort of last minute planning so I'm not expecting much.  You mean to tell me we are going to travel all that way for some rinky dink wedding after getting only a month notice?  I'm trying not to be mean here but this is ABSOLUTELY NOT IN THE BUDGET!  I am still reeling from our $4K backyard landscaping we just got done that officially wiped out our joint savings.  Now we have to get some patio furniture, the money for our custom curtains is going to be due soon and we just got hit with a 1k land improvement tax bill for our house.  Not to mention our honeymoon is NEXT WEEK!  We're going to Hawaii.  Where is all this money coming from?  This month I have been saving all money for the honeymoon and next month it's Christmas.  Not a trip to TX.  So, I told him he should just go without me and he says he wants me to go.  So I'll go but I really don't have the funds to do it.  I did get a modeling check but that has to go for the curtains.  Also, all kinds of crazy things are going on with my tenant.  She keeps putting in maintenance requests and she didn't even pay full rent last month.  What she did pay was late.  I need to keep money available to deal with that situation if need be.  We were going to go to some haunted house but I told hubby I don't want to go.  We have enough going right now without spending money on that.  He just spent $300 on a Direct TV football package and just paid his car registration. 

Anyhow, I'm trying not to stress too much but it's pretty much inevitable where I am concerned.  Thank god I got that promotion.  That's all I can say.
