Well today I sent an email to my parents asking for help. We are struggling at the moment with daycare costs and we are robbing peter to pay paul. It was the hardest email I have ever sent. I couldn't call as I'd cry. In a email I could explain everything in detail and let them know the plan we have to get out of this mess.
My parents responded in kind and concern. We are going to discuss things this weekend to see what they can do in terms of financial aid - it sucks that we are at this point and I'm embarrassed to have to ask for help but the stress is literally killing me. I haven't slept well in weeks, and its not going to get better on its own. Swallowing my pride, I did the only thing I could - ask for help.
Everything is up to date, but we aren't getting anywhere, and daycare is behind. We can't not pay for the daycare as its an integral part of our daily lives. Things got so messed up last year, we are still trying to get out of it. We aren't stupid people. We made stupid mistakes. You live, you learn.
Anyhow, we are heading down south tomorrow until Monday, so I won't be around. I'd like to take this time to wish you all a happy Easter and I hope your weekend will be better than mine heh.
*hugs to you all*
