Things Can Stop Sucking Anytime
Monetarily that is. It always happens this way. We finally get to a point where we can start making ends meet. Getting to where Peter and Paul are both being paid, to where I’m not so worried about getting the bills paid, to a comfort zone.
No, I was not surprised when I went to get an oil change two weeks ago and found out I need four new tires and front brakes on my car. I knew going in Hubby’s car needed brakes all the way around, at least one new tire and a new muffler. Not to mention the registration is due on both cars.
Then we have the trip to Chicago for Hubby’s graduation from boot camp. Flight, hotel, travel expenses. Boarding of the pets.
And of course there’s Christmas.
But the icing on the cake. The piece de resistance. The final nail in the coffin. The proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. I’m pretty sure the heater is on the fritz. And the water heater is a little wonky.
I mean come on now, REALLY??? It has to be this way? For the love of Pete, why can’t we just have everything work out for once?
So, I’m going to bed tonight with the hopes that the heater holds on for one more night. As I watch the temperature in my bedroom drop from 71 to 68 in a matter of minutes. I’m afraid I’ll have to bundle Munchkin and the two smelly dogs into the car, along with clothes for work tomorrow. I’ll have to call Da, in the middle of the night (which shouldn’t be a problem, his bed time has been 5AM of late.) And I’ll have to drive 20 minutes in 30 degree weather in order to sleep the rest of the night in warmth.
So any good money thoughts you can send my way I would be grateful for. Thanks.
