AM Weight....255
Well this last week has brought about a lot of things, but mainly sickness and frustration. Chuck and I were both sick, and I am frustrated with a way to bring in a little extra money each month.
As I am sure so many families in America have done, we have cut ourselves to the bone and are still scraping by. We are trying to plan a vacation to Disneyland next March, so Chuck is trying to work extra for that. It is so important to me that we go. When I say that we have cut things out I mean, amputation. There are no dinners out. Maybe once every other week I rent a game from blockbuster for the kids. We don't buy anything except groceries and pay for the monthly bills. This trip is what we are all looking forward. It is what we tell ourselves we are struggling for, so that we can make these memories and be together without worries and escape as a family for a week. The trip we took this year did wonders for us. It was the closest we had felt in so long. I just want to find a way to bring in about $300 a month. That way I would take the pressure off of Chuck. Because of our circumstances, my opportunities are pretty non existent. I have had to resort to the click and pay web sites, where in the past two days I've made $7.00. Let me tell you that does a lot for the ego.
Then to to things off, I went to the store to get some milk, and left Chuck and the kids here. I had been working on knitting a shawl as a Christmas gift, and left it on the couch. When I came home, there was a knot of yarn on the floor and no one seemed to notice it until I brought it to their attention. Apparently Dylan wanted a whip, so he just grabbed my yarn and started to pull. ( I won't get into the fact that he decided to cut his hair at school today and picture day is tomorrow) Chuck and Taylor both said, " I'm sorry, I didn't notice he was doing it. So today I am feeling low and pretty unappreciated. I know that it is a faze, one that won't last, but I just am getting so tired of feeling like I need to grin and understand and just keep trudging along, while crap keep getting piles on. Just once I would love for things to go smoothly.
Hey well at least I haven't gained any of my weight back....That's something, right?
It's been awhile

You poor girl! How frustrating - in both financial and parental. :) Actually, the parental aspect of it is actually just the norm, isn't it? That's parenting! I remember cutting my bangs (all the time) when I was little. Ahhhh...what a splendid childhood memory! I actually cut them this morning, too. Do you have anyone to watch the kids for a few hours a day for free? Boy, it's kind of a catch 22, isn't it? Keep your chin up! Things will get better! My favorite saying, "How you feel is not the result of what is happening in your life, it's your interpretation of what is happening in your life."
