Lifes Like That

For the past year I have been working every weekend. Well, I’ve gotten tired of doing that. So next weekend will be my last weekend of working. I still plan to continue to work there on Tuesday and Thursday nights. But after next weekend, the weekends will once be mine to call my own. I will miss my regular customers that I wait on every weekend, but I really do think it’s time to make a change. So only two more weekend shifts to go and then I’m done. I can’t wait!

My son absolutely loves to play video games. Right now he has a Playstation 3 system, a DS gaming system and plays games on the computer. But the one system that he doesn’t have that he has been asking for, for over three years is a xbox 360 system. I personally don’t think that he needs another gaming system, but his father has decided that he is going to purchase him one for a grading present. I have a hard time getting this child to do anything else besides playing games, I can just imagine the trouble I will have if he gets this new system. Oh well, kids will be kids right?!

Since September I have had the same shifts at my outside job. I work every Tuesday and Thursday evening and I work every Saturday and Sunday breakfast shift. Although I absolutely love my job, I am getting really tired of working every weekend. So I have decided to cut back my hours at my job. Yesterday I went into work and discussed this with my boss. So it’s official in two weeks time, my hours will be greatly reduced and I will only be working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Yes, this means less income for me, but at this point in my life, I really don’t care. I just need the break.

This year our government decided to give us Canadians a little tax bonus. If you bought any home improvement products over the past year, you will be able to claim these expenses on your taxes. Yesterday was the final day to take advantage of this tax credit. So my husband and I went out and did some home improvement buying. Among other things we bought a very nice lighting fixture. So with this purchase as well as the others we made throughout the year, we should see a pretty decent tax break this year. Now all I have to do is find all the receipts so I can get my home improvement tax credit this year.
