Rediscover Me

Even though I’m ecstatic about getting an unexpected promotion today, I can’t help but to be completely stressed out over the fact that I’m extremely broke right now.

Our van broke down last night, and it cost $700 to fix, which thankfully we were able to borrow from Lee’s grandparents. That being said we now have to pay all that money back, and figure out how to find $400 to fix the air conditioner. We really didn’t have any money, so we have no AC.

If it wasn’t Florida, in the middle of summer, and we didn’t have kids, it would be fine, but we have all that going against us and it’s stressing the hell out of me. The only break we ever do get from the heat here comes from rain, so all in all we’re pretty damn screwed.

Rent is due. My paycheck doesn’t even cover rent in its entirety. Rent sucks.

Not counting food or anything else including gas, which is a huge expense that I don’t even want to think about right now, my bills actually higher than what my rent is. I did mention that my paycheck doesn’t even cover the rent in its entirety, right?

Oh, and school starts before I get paid again, so I somehow have to figure out how in the world I’m supposed to buy all of Aidan’s school supplies and his clothes for next year.

Oh, and food. Oh, and whatever other finances come up along the way, because just like the car breaking down. it could be anything else. As usual. As they say, when it rains, it pours.

God, I would give anything to have the body of a stripper just so that I could make that money.
