If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh.

Ok, so I'm seceretly a bitch, as is quite apparent in these entries. It may have more to do with the mood I'm in when I tend to write, and that is typically irritated. Words seem to tumble out better that way. If things are quiet, things are going well. If not, well, that's when you'll hear about it.

Maybe a positive update for once:

We still have a roof over our heads, despite regular bouts of unemployment.
We are not in debt.
We have taken a loan, and can afford the monthly payment
We get by without credit cars.
We have no payments on cars, etc.
We really don't have much more than we need, and honestly, that's all we can afford, although, the addition of car insurance is a bitch. Rent, electricity, internet, phone, and now, car insurance.
I do hope he gets real, stable, long-term work soon. We can't keep living like this, 3 weeks with a decent paycheck, 3 weeks without. I don't make much with my hours and pay to keep us going until my summer job begins in the middle of June.
I'm successfully beginning to uphold my end of the no smoking deal.
Apparently results are being seen, and they are apparently pleasing, so I will continue. It's much easier than I thought. I just need to get into a summer routine, one that I can keep until late August or early September. Hopefully by then it will be maintainence more than anything else, and I won't necessarily have to devote the long hours I'll need to do now.
