My life has gone crazy. But at the same time, I'm still alive. I have two wonderful children. And for the most part, we are healthy and happy. And even the not so healthy parts aren't the end of the world. Exhausting? Yes. Frustrating? Absolutely. BUT, it could be worse. In fact, we've had it worse. So I thank my lucky stars and my higher powers for everything good in my life. And, truth be told, for all the negative too. Yeah, that might be a bit weird, but those negative things make me who I am. They make me a stronger person in the end. Because broken doesn't mean damanged. Broken gives you a chance to pick up the pieces and make them into something better. And I strive to do that every day.
I think that Obamacare is a good thing. And I think those that are complaining about it are just ignorant to what it actually does. They are the people who already have healthcare. They are the people who don't have to fight the constant battles that those of us sitting below the poverty line have to fight. Yeah, they have struggles. They have their battles that they fight. But healthcare isn't one of them. For people like me, who are fighting against something that I can't even really put a name on, and I still can't afford to go to the doctor, It's a breath of fresh air. If you actually read the details, it's not going to affect the people who already have health insurance as much as they seem to think it will. I guess we will see how it works out. But it's at least good to know that there is an option on the horizion for me and my family.
Watching Mens Gymnastics is insane. The upper body strength of these guys is crazy. You can tell they train for years and years to get to this point. It really is mindboggling
I want to put Desi and Ivy in dance, or something like that. I think it would be good for them to get out and do something creative for a while. And who knows, maybe they will go on to do great things with it.
I can't wait to have a little extra money to use towards an actual vacation. The rut we've been stuck in these last few months, mostly from the damn garnishment, has made things grow stale.
I can't wait for the chance to actually organize my house. We have so many little pieces of clutter that don't have a spot right now. We found something that we are gonna use, as soon as we actually have the money for it. Whenever that might be.
I need to get ahold of the Oklahoma State Tax people and find out what the heck happend to my state refund. Usually we at least get a letter telling us where it went, and how much, and how much we actually get out of it (because they rarely take it ALL). I keep meaning to call, but only remember after they have closed. BLAH. Maybe i can get that taken care of tomorrow
I'm not looking forward to paying rent this month. I told her last month that it should be the last time i'd have to set up a payment plan, thinking the garnishment was gonna finally fall off, and instead i have to go in and tell her that they are still garnishing it and that it will be a few more months. :( And i might see if she has something that I can do to earn a few hundred bucks a month. We just need to come up with 200 a month. Which doesn't seem like much, but it's such a big pain when I can't work full time because of the physical limitations. GRRR! If i could work in an office a few hours a week, it would be great. But i just don't see that happening.
Is actually kinda glad it's been too hot to get out of the house much this week. It's been an exhausting couple of weeks, getting out as often as we were. It was nice to get to kinda sleep in, and then just lounge around the house for a while. There has been a lot to do around the house anyway.
Is ready to have a working car. Not knowing what's wrong with it, and what it would take to fix it, is frustrating. And with the anxiety i already feel in the car, it's been horrible. We know, at least for now, that it will get us from point A to point B, but for how long is the real question. Hopefully we can figure it out, and soon. It's just stressful.
Thinks we are just gonna do Ramen and eggs for dinner. It's fast, and easy, and i'm not feeling too hot today, after not getting nearly enough sleep last night. And the girls like it anyway, lol.
We are gonna try to come up with the 40 bucks it would take to get a sams club card for the year. The amount of money it would save us with food, and possibly even other stuff, would be worth the sacrifice right now. Just have to see what we can do. And with the Sams club card in our name, we could use our food stamps there! Which would save a TON of money on our food budget each month, and hopefully keep us from having to spend any actual cash at the end of the month because things are so darn expensive sometimes.
I can't wait until we can manage to take a trip to Arkansas again. I'm seriously missing all my friends. It's too bad we can't afford to just bring them all up here. Hopefully i can get at least some of them to come up for my b-day in January. That would be awesome. :)
Ok, i think that's enough random rambling. I need to go give the girls a bath before they drive me crazy. And then fix them their dinner. And hopefully I can catch a good long soak before bed tonight myself. Need to release the stress before it makes me sick.
LATERS
