Been slacking...

I haven't had much to say lately. Nothing has really irked me enough to feel the need to castigate some unmentionable person or situation on this blog. I'm still out here, just treading water, keeping on with the bill paying and all that jazz.

Mike and I are actively trying to get pregnant. So far this has consisted of going off birth control, and making love more often (this part is kind of fun... who'd have figured?) Not too stressed about it. It will happen when it happens. That will set our financial life on its backside though, so I'm sure there will plenty to say about this when we do get the deed accomplished.

I had an interview for a part time job teaching as an adjunct at a local college. The pay isn't bad, although it could definitely be better. I'm sort of hoping I get the job. It would be an extra $825 before tax for each class. A class runs four weeks. They said they have problems keeping faculty because they can't guarantee them a class to teach each month... this is perfect for me. I can work a month, get the extra money, then take a month off. The plan if I get this job is to save 50% of the money for my maternity leave and put the remainder towards my student loans.... although if I get pregnant sooner rather than later, I'd probably put 100% towards maternity leave savings (after all, I'll still have to make the loan payments when I'm off work for 12 weeks in the future.)
