Back to work after baby..tell me it gets easier???

June 25th, 2011 at 01:04 am

Ok, so I start back full-time June 27th..and then I'm going for a week long vacation starting July 4th. I timed that well, right? :P

So here's the deal...money is atrocious. We had saved up quite a bit of money (over 10k) before I went out on maternity leave but emergencies hit like they always do and we plowed through it all and then some in the last 8 months.

So basically we're sitting at approx 4,800 in cc debt. 3,000 of that is for the used car we had to buy once someone hit and totalled T's car. There were a few other small emergencies that hit but nothing worth complaining about now. We should get 1,350 for his car back which will bring things down to -3,500. Bleck.

I'm redeeming savings bonds from my grandfather which will total 17,250. The idea is to payoff the credit card and put the rest on my student loan. I'll have approximately 5-6k on the student loan that we can aggresively pay off in 8months or so? That's my current plan of attack. It'll be really exciting to be debt free (aside from home and rental property) during 2012.

So yeah, aside from the number crunching I'm trying to deal with going back to work. My hours are really good though (7-3) so I'll still have a lot of daytime hours with her which is nice. My mom will be watching her 3 days out of the week and then she'll be at a daycare 2 days (my friend from work has her son in there too and Loves it which is good.) So we'll see...it's going to be hard tho and I'm hoping I don't have a meltdown between now and Monday. :/
