Which ...I don't admit this much (shame, maybe? Which is stupid!) but, we're living paycheck to paycheck right now, too. Which is sad. My husband makes damn good money and yet he's working a 2nd job. Even then? Paycheck to paycheck. Anything fun to do as a family is not only planned a few weeks in advance, but we feel it in the checkbook for a week afterward. <br /><br />We were down to one car from November through March. It SUCKED! I'm a SAHM so, I didn't HAVE to go anywhere. It was just horrible knowing I COULDN'T go anywhere. My best friend was HUGE in loaning us her car when necessary. <br /><br />My husband tends to be down about our situation. I use to. Now? Screw that. I may live paycheck to paycheck, but there's a lot of people/families out there with NO paycheck, let alone one from TWO jobs that pay well. I have a clean, safe, big apartment to call home. I have lights, central air, cable/internet, cell phones. I have healthy, fresh food in my fridge and we're all wearing clothes. <br /><br />It could be much worse. I know this. I'm thankful for what I have and know it could all change in a second. <br /><br />I hope things improve for your family. I hope your BIL makes a full recovery. It'll be a long, hard road but, have faith. <br /><br />Sometimes? Faith is all we need to get through a craptastic situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
