Today…

Good afternoon all.  Today is starting out fairly well.   After being struck down last week with a stupid wisdom tooth that was killing me I woke this morning to a stye in my eye.  WHY….GRRRR…one thing after another it seems.  Oh well life goes on.  The kids have been a wreck.  I believe I’m going to have to take everything away this time toys, tv, games everything.  I came home yesterday to my husband cleaning their rooms that yes my children have been told for a while now they needed to clean.  I’m trying so hard to teach my kids about respect and responsibility so they will grow up and be respectable additions to the world.  I do not want some lazy mooching off the government and whoever else will let them kids.  I hate that.  The welfare system needs a makeover.  Seriously there is only one of us in our home that works and we have several bills to pay.  Number one first comes the child support for my 3 step children then there is food, the seven hundred a month mortgage (i refuse to rent its riduclous) the electric,  the car insurance (got rid of the payment thank god), then to the fun stuff like phone, cable, internet, dining out, going places doing things.  I don’t understand how we can make it and so the things we can do and others whine and cry and make twice the money we do and have nothing.  We are far from even middle class if you ask me but we live well.  Our children dont lack anything except the stupid over priced toys.  But we make it on around 15-1800 a month income so whats wrong with the rest of these low lifes….we dont have medicade, food stamps, or any other type of government assistance yet….on what we have we make it.  I dont understand.  I guess I will just be happy that I’m not sapping away your tax dollars to support my habbits and have things I want in life.  We work for them and make the best of what we have. I’m comfortable with the way my life is.  No one would know we were not at least middle class.  We live in an almost brand new home when we bought it it was brand new built in 04 and have lived here since Nov. of 04, we have a nice piece of property in a nice neighborhood with our 2 dogs 3 fish a bird and our kids.  I think we are doing pretty well….however we are trying (not doing well) to sell…I was sick last year and that hurt us badly.  I had cervical cancer and at the young age of 28 had to  have a total hysterctomy.  Everything gone.  They left my better ovary for now but more than likely it will be removed soon.  It was a heridetary form of cancer after my being diagnosed it encouraged my mother to get checked and well….now shes going under the knife in 2 weeks and my sister is going in for a biopsy next week.  I hope our daughters dont have this also but the out look in my opinion isnt great.  However I want to live closer to my family.  They own 10 beautiful acres on the other side of town our house there is almost finished being redone now if I could just sell this one would be nice.  Anyway,  I guess its about lunch for me and the little one so maybe we can catch a nap or so before the girls get out of school and my sister goes to work and I get the joy of babysitting my niece and nephew yay!!!.  I’ll write more later and have a wonderful day!  Enjoy life to its fulliest no matter what your means are!
