I am tired!

I've been working like crazy lately. I want to buy a house next year so I've been working to pay off some debt and save the down payment. I'm only going in with a 5% down payment instead of a larger amount. I could stay where I am and continue to save but it would take me an additional 3-5 years minimum to save the amount that I would need. I'll just go with what I have and pay the PMI.

Hopefully I can take a rest and not work as many hours in the next few months. In the past month I haven't worked less than 50 hours per week and most weeks it's closer to 58-60. Considering I my job has never had overtime in the past, I'm not used to working like this. Don't get me wrong, the extra money is great but the lack of time is a bummer.

Oh well, hopefully I can rest this weekend and hope back on that gravy train come Monday!

And here comes the weather craziness

On the news the other day, they kept saying that the weather would vary this week. The beginning of the week is supposed to be cold and then warm into the 60's by mid-week. The weekend is supposed to be in the 50's and dropping. Well, not so fast. It's snowing today. It was supposed to snow yesterday (a dusting) but not today. It's already tapered off but snow is snow and I want it to go away.

My job is moving to a new location next week and I just know that it's going to be nasty weather to accompany our move. On the bright side, Spring is just around the corner.
