Good things will come to those......

So I have realized that good things will come to those who don't have to many huge mental breakdowns. :)
So most know that this year has been a struggle for Mark and I. His bonuses have been WAY smaller than normal. As most also know, those make up half of his income. So having those small seriously effects how we do during the year. Well after his second bonus this year, which was half of a normal one, before taxes...I started trying to find a job.....Hasn't done me a darned bit of good. I have applied for about 10 jobs on average a day since August, and it has gotten me 3 interviews. Pitiful. That has been soooooo stressful! So a couple weeks ago we decided that in order to servive until next bonus which is in Feb, we had to take out a loan on his 401K. Not ideal in the slightest.... but had no choice. So that sucked. Than before the paperwork could go through on the loan Mark totalled his car. Really....horrible horrible horrible. So I upped the amount for the loan to the max we could take out. Now figuring we wouldn't get more than a couple hundred dollars for his car, since it is almost 20 years old, and a total stripped down model, we weren't counting on that helping us get another car.
Now inbetween July (which was his last bonus) and now, I have had a few mental breaks because of stress. Really who can blame me. I cry a lot because of no one wanting to hire me.... not being able to get pregnant.... the list goes on.
On Saturday the check from the 401K loan came. I was happy about that.... sad that it was mostly spend on bills. Happy those bills were going to be paid though. Put that in the bank on Monday. Monday night Mark calls me from work. Tells me he has good news that he just found out. Ok so you all got Mark gets 2 bonuses a year and than every other year they get a third called the Windfall cash bonus. Of course this is not the year for that.... that would have been to helpful! So he calls, tells me he has good news. Said that the main office sent an email saying that because the bonuses were so bad this year they decided to do the findfall cash bonus every year instead of every other year, and that it will start tomorrow. Me being totally tired, and dense, don't understand this. So I ask, "what do you mean starting tomorrow?" He laughs at me and says, they will be putting it into the bank in the morning. Makes me happy. But I don't expect much either. Can't get excited when I have seen the other bonuses. He tells me not to expect more than a couple thousand. I checked this morning.... it was a bit more than we had crossed our fingers for. So I am pretty happy about that. Than this morning, I check my email and see that there is one from USAA concerning our claim. So I read it, and just about bulged my eyes out. It was a run down on the estimate of the car. So we rebuilt the engine a couple years ago now, have put about 36 thousand miles on it since. Almost to the day a month before, we put brand new tires on it, and did a total brake job. Sucks to have put $400 into it and have it totalled. Well the rebuild cost us about $800. Not such a big deal, since we got a lot of use from it. We are getting almsot everything back. The only reason we aren't is because of the $250 deductible. I was floored that we would get almost $1,100 for a 20 year old, stripped down, barebones model. But happy!
So I figured either, A) Good things come to those who don't have mental breakdowns and go insane from stress get good things or B) Good things come to those who have little mental breakdowns from the stress but don't go insane from it. I can't figure out which. :) Maybe now I can get pregnant. HA, wouldn't that be something. Not getting hopes up for that though.
So that is my story. Man am I tremendously greatful. Now I get to go car shopping tomorrow. Not so much looking forward to that one.
