So I do vaguely recall promising to continue my last blog. That didn't happen...
Anyway- I've been slowly but surely working on my list. I've been picking up extra hours at work and I think I will be okay for Christmas shopping, though I will have to do most of it 6 days before Christmas. I've been playing with the girls a lot more. Friday I took Alyssa shopping for about an hour and then Chad came over and we all had a sleepover in the living room and watched Frosty the Snowman. Then Chad and I took them to the zoo on Saturday, which was a blast. I've been working on getting organized, but that is much harder than it sounds. All I've managed to do is go through the girls toys and throw away junk ones, two garbage bags actually. I've been sticking to a diet and have doen pilates a few times, but I've been sick for 8 days now with a horrible cold, sinus infection type thing so exercising hasn't been easy.

So.. more important things.. I was very seriously considering filing for bankruptcy. Chad doesn't want me to because it now stays on your record for 15 years and if I do that, I basically kill our chances at owning a home. I stupidly and naively let my ex-husband handle all of the bills and he was horrible with money. So my credit is, to say the least, fucked. Anyway every dealt with this before and have any pointers? So far, my only idea is to contact my creditors and see if there's any way to settle and get them off my credit report, but I don't have high hopes. I'm only 22 and my credit is ruined.

I think it's time for bed. I have tomorrow off work, but I have a Pysch final to take and then afterwards, my mom and I are going to finish up Christmas shopping for the girls. I'm almost done with them, but they're the only ones I've brought anything for. So tomorrow I will hopefully get Audrey's old crib put together so I can sell it and get it out of here and send out the rest of the Christmas cards. Other than that, my day will be spent with the girls until I leave at 3:30.

Oh- and I might be giving my dog away. It's a long story and the girls will be sad, but it's truly best for him. He gets excited and pees and since we're leasing this house, I can't let him pee everywhere and therefore, he spends way too much time outside. If I had time to work with him, I think he would really improve, but I just don't. When I got him, I had no idea that things would end up where they are right now. He really is a great little dog and I will miss him, but if this guy that I work with (his dog got out and was run over) can give him a better home then I can, then I have to let that happen. I've always hated people that could just give up their pets and now I feel like one of them. I'm not trying to just give him to anyone though and if I didn't find him a perfect home, he would just stay here with me. Anyway- update on that tomorrow or Wednesday. Night!
