More Houses

DH & I went out with our Realtor today and saw 15 houses in less than four hours, including drive time. It was a little nuts! We found one we actually really like (not the one we were hoping to like though) but we're not completely sure yet. We're thinking of just waiting until next year now. We would like to get the $8,000 tax credit but I don't want to rush into a 30 year, $100,000+ commitment just to get a tax credit. It is definitely a plus but it's also a stressful situation. We applied at a mortgage place to get pre-qualified and will hear back from them Monday. We want an idea of where we stand financially with a lender but not sure we're ready to jump into that body of water just yet! I think a lot of it is also that I don't want to upset our current landlord with trying to break the lease because he's a really awesome landlord (we've lived here for three years, going on four now, without a rent increase) and I don't want to jeopardize that relationship. We're going home tomorrow to see my dad and DH's parents so we'll probably talk it over with my dad and see what he has to say. Prayers would be appreciated, we're pretty confused right now, ha ha!

This past week has been nuts at work. There's only another guy and me working evenings at my job to cover all the xrays and cts for all the ER patients, inpatients and outpatients so that's pretty stressful. On top of that we have some idiot doctors that like to order a ton of useless radiology exams for things that are obviously just the flu so we've been swamped. Every single person that comes into the ER with flu symptoms gets a chest xray and, if we have an especially idiotic doctor working, possibly a triple contrast CT Abdomen & Pelvis or more. It is very frustrating and very exhausting. That's why I don't really update this blog during the work week. I usually come home, take a shower and crash on the couch watching mindless tv with DH until I can drum up the energy to fall into bed. Very stressful. I'm really hoping that with our increased patient load, the HR people will finally allow us to hire another person for evening shift to help even out the load a little more! At least I have a job and job security though, which is a lot more than other people out there so I shouldn't complain too much. This weekend is my four day weekend so I'm pretty excited about that! :)

I should get off here and start getting ready for bed now so I can be awake for tomorrow's visit to see our parents again. :) Goodnight!
