Have you ever had those times when it seems like everything you touch falls to pieces? When you just want to crawl into a hole and wait for everything around you to self combust before coming out? When you wish you didn't have to worry about anything that we, adults, worry about?
I'm there. I feel like I'm neck deep in it and am only continuing to sink deeper by the hour. It seems that everything I do turns out to be another negative instead of a positive.
It's been a long, difficult week already and it's not even over yet! We finally received one of the two checks that we have been waiting on. Granted, it was one day shy of two weeks since we last received a paycheck. Since we were not aware that the check wouldn't be deposited as it was suppose to be, every scheduled payment that we had ended up returned which has ultimately led to even greater issues. The ATM ate the card this morning while trying to make a deposit and when we called to see if we could pick the card up, Tim was told they closed every one of our accounts. I called back and was told otherwise. So now, there is no check book, no atm card and tremendous frusteration and anger. Oh, and bills that need tending to. I'm at my wits end right now! Unfortunately, we are one of those families that must pinch every penny, living paycheck to paycheck. So when one thing falls out of place, it sends the entire thing into a tailspin. It wasn't the fault of the bank. Yet I went directly to the bank this morning and made a deposit and not one time was it mentioned that the account would be closed. After calling the branch office where the machine took the card, they said they were closing the account. Grrrrrr!!!
Anyways, that's my complaint for the day. I'm incredibly frusterated with everything that is happening right now. It seems that nothing can go right for us. We're constantly in a state of chaos lately and I hate it. I would love to just have things "chill out" for us. When that will happen, I have NO idea!!
Off to take a hot bath to de-stress.

Just try to relax and know that things will work themselves out somehow and this is just another struggle you have to move through, and I am sure you will!

grrr...i so hope your bath worked and things are working out for you!
Yes - living paycheck to paycheck sucks! I've finally gotten to a point where I'm not paying child care - but the bills aren't any less either. Thank goodness the price of gas has come down to ease some of the pain. Don't get me started on Christmas.....
