it blows up!
Well I need a place to vent...before I start screaming.
I have been working hard all summer. I do home daycare. I have
been working long, long hrs. I work 7:30 am- 5:30 pm on Monday,
Tuesday - Friday 7:30am - 12:30 pm, Sat off all day, and Sunday
2 pm - 12am. I have no life but work. Saturday off, but spend the day
shopping for groceries and running errons.
I have been working hard to get ahead. Putting money away for an extra
house payment and enough to fill my propane tank for winter.
My income drops as soon as school starts..in about 3 weeks. I will
have less kids then. I have a hard time making it through the winter months.
So I figured if I could get a couple bills paid ahead I might make it
through winter without getting behind.
Well I found out that is it going to cost me $1535 to replace my pump to
my well. It is going bad. I have no water presser. The well driller guy was
here this morning. Something break on his truck. So he will be back hopefully
this afternoon. I had $1200 saved. Was going to use that towards a house
payment and propane. But now I have to use it is fix the well. And I am still
short $335. Have not figured out what I am going to do yet about that.
Why does it always seem like when we work so hard to get ahead in life, it never
happens? Something we least expect comes up. Sometimes you just want to
throw in the towel.
I know I should be thankful. I have a room over my families heads. I know alot
of people don't have that. But it is so hard, working hard, tired all the time and
never seeming to get ahead in the world.
Thanks for letting me vent.
I think of you all. And pray for the ones in need.
I am sorry I haven't even had time to post and wish you ladies a happy
birthday on your birthdays. I just don't have time to get online much.
I try to read posting when I can.
Well break time is over. Back to work.

4|2|In the same boat, the harder I work the more things come up, can never save!|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|17:02:33|08/21/2012|
o I try to sell my hand made things at a local bar, it is hard work being blind and trying to make things, seems like it takes forever just to make 1 item! Sales are slow and I am lucky if I sell 1 thing every time I go take my stuff, and it always goes for bills or grocerys, I have a low amount saved, lucky if I can put away $2 a week..Seems like the harder a person tries and busts their butt off,more things come up and make it impossible to save anything. I hope things getter better for you!

I'm in the same boat, but thanks to some of the girls buying some
items I'm selling on my Website helped me to get some grocery's this week.
Just have faith. I know just when you think things can't get worst they do.
But God will help you through it with your friends and your strength.

6|1|I have water now...|shelly0418|michelle0418@centurytel.net|22:33:51|08/21/2012|
Cost $1613...the pump, holding tank, and some guages where bad. I guess
the tank went bad first. Then it caused the pump to go bad.
So it cost more. And well guys around here don't take payment plans.
Sinkys. But with daycare I have to have water. So what you going to do.
How just have to come up with the house payment my the end of the month.
Had to brower money from somewhere. So I used the house payment. Atleast
I have 2 weeks to come up with that.
Worst part I am trying to lose weight. I have problems with my legs. They
hurt bad at nite. (health problem) So I am hoping to lose weight. I hope that will help.
But when I get depress I eat. Not a good thing. Need to find a new way to deal
with stress.
Well I got done working early tonite. So I am off to bed.
Maybe I need to start playing the lotta.
Michelle 7|1|My dear friend pointed this out to me (inside)...|Skaytes|skaytez@gmail.com|07:42:59|08/22/2012|
more than once as we always seem to have one thing after another happen as well. She said "haven't you ever noticed that people who are TRULY "God centered" most always have to struggle in life? God gives us those trials and tribulations to make us stronger over and over. I know..you are thinking HOW STRONG do I have to get??!! Yep..know how that feels lol! BUT also God always pulls us out of the 'abiss' just at the last moment. Frustrating but true :) Hang in there..God will get you thru it :) 8|2|They poured bleach down the pipe...the smell is making me sick|shelly0418|michelle0418@centurytel.net|09:32:10|08/22/2012|
I have allergies. The smell of bleach makes me sick. I get bad
headaches. With daycare I had to switch to lysol as a cleaner. It
is 99. percent dis., almost like cleaning with bleach. But I can
breath easier using lysol and it cleans just as good.
Yesterday they had to use bleach in the pipes. They said it would take
a hr or two of running the water to get rid of the smell.
Well I just washed the dishes from last nite and it still smells.
Anyone know how long before that smell will disappear? We are using bottle
water today.
Michelle 9|3|If you have lemons or lemon juice squeeze or pour it in the sink. It will get rid of the bleach smell|Kristy|mi3zons1@yahoo.com|10:46:56|08/22/2012|
