Exciting Saturday?

I'm hoping today will be a fun and exciting day. We have the SEC Championship game today at 3 on CBS. I cannot wait to watch the game. I have a very strong feeling that Florida is going to just steamroll Alabama. I am not sure how I really want the outcome to be. They only reason I can think of wanting Alabama to win is because they are currently #1 and the chances of Florida winning and making it to the #1 or #2 spot in the BCS rankings for the major title game is next to impossible. I really want a SEC team going to the big game. Bad thing is if Alabama does go to that game then they will probably be beaten badly and embarass the SEC. Florida is really the only chance that the SEC has for winning the big game. We'll see how it all goes today. I am excited about having one last game to really pull watch in college football.

Tonight is lasagna night and I'm pretty excited about it. For those of you following this blog since before Avery was born will know that for 2 nights before I was admitted to the hosptial to have her we I was trying to cook lasagna. Now my Italian food cravings have gone away since I had Avery but it still sounds really good! I'm also planning on making some chili. Yummy! Plus I can eat on it for a few days. It's cheap and with our lack of money cheap is good.

I am just glad that with our financial situation and Lee's new job not starting until the 28th and having no income come in that I had all of those diapers stockpiled. Never again can Lee make fun of me for stock piling anything again. The multitude of diapers been a lifesaver for us. If we had to buy diapers right now we'd go in the red. I'm also so thankful that the Dr. office gave us 5 cans of the powdered formula that Avery is on for right now. It's outrageously expensive and there is no way we could do it.

My parents have been a major lifesaver and have helped us out with our utilities this month and the car repairs on Lee's car. It's so demoralizing having to have that kind of help from family. It's just utterly depressing to be quite honest. Never before have we been in a financial situation like this. It has been just devestating to our financial wellbeing with Lee being laid off the week before Avery was born. We are very thankful that Lee has already gotten a job especially in this economy but it's just been very disheartening. I can't believe I am even admitting this on here.

Every year for Christmas we have gone too far with the kids presents. They have way too many things. This year the sad part is we cannot buy them even one present. It's sad trying to figure out how Santa is going to come. I know there are more things to Christmas but this is the fun part for the kids. My mom said that she and dad would buy the kids the 1 item that they both wanted and it could be from Santa but that's about all they'll get. My parents have already spent so much money helping us with the kids while I was in the hospital and with us that they shouldn't do any more.

I just want Lee to get a paycheck so we can buy things ourselves. I don't want to have to rely on others to buy groceries and gas. We now have less than $175 in our account to last us until his first paycheck in January. Lee is scared out of his mind and I'm trying to remain positive because if I don't then he'll just keep focusing on it and freak out. I can't let that happen. So please just pray that it all works out for us. Please pray that Lee can try and remain positive and that I will be a good wife and support to him because God knows I have a hard time sometimes.
