Broke

[fairyinabubble]

We are so broke I feel sick. It's our fault I know but that doesn't help. We eat out way to much but we always have enough to barely pay our bills. But this time I don't know. The car note, phone bill, cable, are all due. Oh and electric. Plus Steven has to pay on a loan to a check cashing place or he will be arrested. I am trying to find a weekend job in addition to my week day babysitting job but with no luck. I can't afford daycare to get a full time job. So my cable will probably be cut off soon. And to make things even worse Steven fractured his ankle so he's not working as much over time. Aggh! We have always lived like this, eating out bc we hate grocery shopping but always having enough. But I guess it has finally caught up to us. At least Wyatt has his Christmas presents already.

WE HAVE SO BEEN IN YOUR SHOES...when Mike was in college and I was the only one working. We were so happy when someone invited us over to eat...it was always the cheapest fast food we could find. We spent a lot of our money on partying, so we also did it to ourselves. For the first 2 years we were married, I HATED the holidays! Everyone would get us something (even when we told them no to) and made us feel so guilty we could not give anything in return. Today we are not rich, we just know how to manage our budget better and we only eat out on Fri nights...and maybe on Sunday after church. IT DOES GET BETTER. It will not be like this forever. Always remember you can call me. Mike and I have had some difficult times ourselves (including my nasty divorce) and we survived them all TOGETHER. Don't give up!
