Alright, I am not sure who broke the mirror, but it wasn't me I swear!!
I have not blogged in a while because it's been a REALLY bad couple of weeks. I didn't want this page to become a sob story for me with nothing but negative posts, but it seems I have no choice because it's been a lot of negative lately : (
We have suffered through 4 layoffs in the last two years. Normally, DH gets laid off almost every year in the fall and normally it's no big deal as he's a tradesman and usually has something else right away. Me however, have been laid off twice in the last two from two different builders during our lovely recession. The first time was ok, I had something within the month. The second time however, I was 5 months pregnant with no hopes of lying my way in to a new position to just leave a few months later. So I had to take my maternity leave early, no hopes of saving up money when that happens. Then, DH gets laid off in September! Great! But....... he only just recently finally found a position. Needless to say, things are months behind and everyone wants their money! On top of all that, DH was in an accident in 2001. Long story short, the gov't just decided that he has to pay $9000 for that accident, really? Now? They are ruthless about it too, taking his license until we figure out a payment plan. I asked her how she wants to get paid, pocket lint or smiles? All in all, it's a lot of money that keeps coming down the pipes. I mean a lot!
Seriously, it's been a long time with a lot of bad luck and I'm not sure why. I don't think we are bad people, I don't think we have done anything to deserve the "goes around, comes around". It's really becoming disheartening. The only good things right now are our girls. They make the world go around, too bad they can't work! LOL
So, there's a bit of my sob story, woe is me and all that. But it's off my chest now at least a little bit and we'll keep trying to forge ahead. Anyone win the lottery lately? Any rich Aunts on there way out? LOL
