Truthful Tuesday

The girls at the Sweet Shoppe thought it would be good to start Truthful Tuesdays on our blogs. So I decided to join in this week and see how it goes. I am a little apprehensive about posting my honest thoughts on my blog. LOL! I could honestly be here forever griping about all sorts of things! But I am almost certain, that would get me in a whole lot of trouble.

Today probably isn't the best day for me to start doing this. I am not having a good day really. I am feeling very stressed and overwhelmed. I am sure it doesn't help that in my personal life, there is a lot going on that is extremely stressful. My hubby still hasn't left out for his new job yet, and things are getting wayyy too tight around here. He is supposed to be getting umemployment (since he was let go from his last job) but we still haven't even received the first check. They keep saying it has been mailed out, but it doesn't take that long to get mail from Chicago to here. In the meantime, we have nothing.... So that in itself brings on so much stress from how are we going to pay bills, to putting gas in the van to get my middle son from school etc, to making sure the family has everything they need.

And I have been given the big "no" letter from SMJ, which is a real bummer, but I am not going to go on about that.

Anyhoo, thanks for listening to my rant. I am not one to usually put my financial problems, etc out for the world to see, but it does feel good to get it off my chest. Thanks again!!

Money stress is the WORST! I totally understand where you are coming from. You can't do anything to get those checks faster, but you can't help but worry. I hope things get worked out soon so you're not so stressed!

{{{{hugs}}}} There is nothing worse than money stress. I sooooo feel your pain. My DH is a cop, the money is NOT good and I stay at home with the kids because his hours are so erratic. We scrape by every month...and its getting tighter and tighter. Hang in there.

Awww, Becca! I'm sorry about the money troubles. I know what that is like!!!!!

Also, I'm sorry to hear about the SMJ call because your pages are such an inspiration -- you would've made an awesome addition to her team.

I got a no this week too. So depressing.
