Monday, August 13

The strike continues. Dh is driving me crazy! When he is home he isn't doing anything. He has a list of things that he needs to get done but yet he'd rather be watching tv or sleeping, etc. UUGGHHH!!! It's been over a week now that he hasn't been working and I'm ready for him to go back to work. The union will be meeting with DR officials on Wednesday, but who knows if they will actually negotiate or just set a time to negotiate. Supposedly they have had 2 seperate incidences where the ambulance had to go to DR and from what someone said the scabs are doing a lot of cleaning the floor. The machines may not work when the guys return but hey the floor will be sooo clean you can eat off them. lol.
Just trying to get things cleaned and organized for Kiersten's first birthday party on Sunday. Hard to believe she is almost a year old! It's going so quick. wow.

3. Clean counters / stove / table
4. Sweep and mop kitchen
5. Organize kitchen closet

Husband on strike

Unfortunately, the guys went on strike on the 4th. We will be ok. I went through and made it so we were only paying the minimums on the bills and I figured out a meal schedule for the whole month. I have $60 a week schedule for food, diapers and anything else we may need. We should be ok for all paper products and cleansing products for at least a month. I stocked up pretty well last month. To make a little extra money I put some of my textbooks online to sell and I plan on putting some Burger King toys on Ebay within the next few days. I have some more books I may list. And hopefully I can get some mystery shops this month.
