Feeling the pain at the pump..

It's a sad day when you go to pump gas and $100 won't get a full tank of gas.. Never would I have predicted this when we got the suburban that I had wanted to soo long.. Gas back in 04' was $1.67 so the gas prices were in our budget.. Then Ricardo bought his truck in 05'.. Gas was good then too.. Now here were are in 08 and we have doubled in price.. It's ridiculous! I still love my suv but I am definitely going to make some adjustments in our summer plans due to the rising gas prices.. Even with extra $$ coming in from Ricardo's deployment who wants to waste it on gas if we don't have to? There is plenty of places to go in Texas anyways. If there is any goods (which at this very moment I am finding little) is that we will be saving a good chunk of $$ on gas for the next six months.. I sure hope it goes down even just a little bit when Ricardo comes back.
Trying to get into a good groove over here and not be soo down.. I have my mornings worked out and on a mission to get back in shape. As far as that goes I am feeling great 5days into my routine. I need to work on the rest of the day now- filling it with things that keep me busy and make me smile.
As of yesterday Ricardo still had not made it to Afghanistan which has made me a little angry about. I felt like he was rushed to get there only to sit at an airport- 3/4ths into the trip waiting for a plane to take him the rest of the way.. I am hoping to hear from his tonight or tomorrow to tell me he made it there safe and sound- and pray that he will stay that way!
