I nearly had a heart attack last night/this morning. I was up late and decided to check the bank balance again (I wanted to check off what had cleared, etc.) well the balance is horribly off. HORRIBLY off. I'm talking going from having the re-enlistment bonus to having less than a hundred dollars in the bank. I started to panic. Because there is absolutely no way. YES, we spent a LOT of it yesterday, but we paid off shit. And it wasn't nearly all of it. There was still a good bit left. So, I'm panicing, looking up the number for the call system.. I get the call system and I have no clue what the hell the PIN number is. I spend ten minutes trying to figure it out (duh Indy!) and it was there. I don't know what was up with the internet system last night, but it was wrong and it scared the shit out of me. I was panicing thinking "oh no, they made a mistake, it wasn't deposited" or something like that. Yes, I'm paranoid.
All is well, because it is still there.
My husband and I had decided not to buy gifts for eachother, but since we got the re-enlistment bonus and we have paid off numerous things, and we have extra, we're going to get eachother something. It'll be the first time in a long time we've done that and I'm excited. It's nice to have presents under the tree for once.
We also went out to eat last night (first time in a long time. Well, we've been to McDonalds in the past month, but that doesn't count) and it was horrible. The food was good, don't get me wrong, it's our heathen children. Rather, I should say child. Xander just would not sit still. We got him a high chair, a big mistake, he didn't want to sit in it. Finally we figured out that he wanted to sit in the big chair, just like us. NO booster seat, because he wants to be just like us. So, he can barely reach his food, but he can. We took it out of the basket and sat it on the little plastic thing they come with. He was happy for a little while. Then he wasn't. He wanted to walk around. He wanted to play. Argh. No more sit down restaraunts for awhile.
