Saturday was a blur. Friday night the two boys went to their grandparents. Friday afternoon and evening were spent selling Girl Scout cookies. Saturday morning was a Girl Scout meeting. Straight home to sell cookies again. I could feel a migraine lurking in the background. Light and sound sensitivity were quite high. Then rushed Sarah […]

Put child support in bank then immediately had to pay for car repairs and Doug’s overdrawn account. The remaining bit of nothing is what we have to pay bills and eat this month. I am SO depressed.

I am still stewing about the question why I’m not working. I worked all through my last pregnancy while Doug started home improvement projects and tried to decide what he wanted to do with his life. He “needed some time off cause he’d worked ever since he was 16.” I worked when I had to […]

Upstairs straightened, downstairs a disaster. Our only functioning car is down and will cost several hundred dollars to repair. There is so much work to do around here. Sometimes it seems hopeless. Money problems are getting worse. Mother-in-law asked husband why I’m not doing something to contribute financially. ???

Had a bad migraine Tuesday night that lingered all day Wednesday. Now my “to-do” list is completely un-doable. Visited the middle school to see about getting Tommy back in public school. Picked up badges for the Girl Scout troop. Dropped off some cookie order forms. Sent a dozen e-mails. Tonight I’ll do laundry.

The fire in the stove went out last night and it is SOOOOO cold today. I actually got a bath today. Today is Tommy’s turn at the therapist. Then home to my Girl Scout mom work and house cleaning. Blech.

Didn’t get enough accomplished today. Now tomorrow’s list has some of today’s stuff on it. 🙁 Amy needs to see the pede but Doug wants to wait until we have the money. I’d rather owe the money and have a healthy baby. Going to watch Family Guy and Futurama.

Got some caffeine in my system and I feel much more human. Scrubbed my face, brushed my teeth and put on warm, clean jeans straight from the dryer (ahhhh). Took Sarah to her appt, scheduled several more and added 20 items to my “to do” list for the week. Came home, washed dishes and sent […]

Doug occasionally walks upstairs and chews the children out for something horrible like eating a snack in their bedrooms. When I ask how he is I always get “fine” even when I know he’s not. He asked how I’m doing and I replied that I’m having a bad day. He asked if I wanted to […]
