Re: Here we go again...
Well, it's Memorial Day weekend and we're going nowhere. We have two more trips in June and then the travel will STOP.
The trip to Santa Barbara is costing us way too much- I already bought the wedding present and we have stuff to wear but yikes! I changed our hotel from the Holiday Inn Express (which was $250/nt!!!) to a Ramada further out of town in Goleta. I got the cheapest rental car I could find. But I have no leave built up so the three days I'm out of work will be a complete loss of income.
The trip to Baltimore for the Boards will cost us my income but at least we don't have to pay for a hotel or rental car.
We have to somehow come up with the last payment for the property tax and also the second half of the payment for the guy redoing the fences. I have a feeling the fence is going to take a while though so I'm hoping it will dovetail w/ the July bonus. Crazy. Keeping the house in DC is killing us- even though we have a renter. I don't know what else we can do though. Hopefully after the election, things will move more.
I can't wait to have the Boards DONE. He's studying, studying, studying. I don't expect that we'll see him much over the three day weekend. Oh well. Four weeks from today he has orientation and then Sunday are the actuals boards.
Nikolai has the first week of June off from school so we've hired one of our friends nannys to watch him- the kids she usually watches will be on vacation so it works out well for everyone.
Oh, I just want it to be July- we'll get the bonuses- pay off as much as we can, the Boards will be over and we can finally relax.
