and the wallet continues to bleed

ughhh, I hate that we are able to save money for something specific (downpayment) but then big expenses keep popping up for the family. Jr has to get his registration for his car done today. That's at least $100 gone. To follow the $40 he spent on inspection this weekend, and $1301 on car repairs last week. Ughhhh.
On the up side, though, we've socked away $1000.00 in one week. Score! This will be atypical for us as we don't normally have that much money coming in at one time, but I had a few deposits come in, as well as JR winning a few hundred dollars from the superbowl (and he finally got it last week)

It has been one week since we put our offer in on the house in Corinth and no word back yet. We were told it would take about 5 weeks. Lord help me... if I can last that long, I'm sure my nervous system will be shot.
