I'm pretty disappointed right now. We were going to drive down to South Carolina at the end of the month to visit my husband's brother, his wife and their daughter Gabi. Last year we only saw them once and I didn't want that to happen again. Our finances are just too shaky now though. I had to turn off the cable/internet (I'm typing this at work *sssshhhh*), I canceled all of our newspapers, I keep the house at 60 degrees. We've just paid off last month's bills and this month is looking worse. Tim's only gotten one unemployment check and he's been unemployed since September 9.
I just don't know what we're going to do. At least the boys will have Christmas presents. They're used, but I don't think they will care. I know Max will be so excited for his big kitchen. Jack really doesn't "get" the whole idea yet so he'll just be happy to play with new toys. Maybe this year he'll get it. It's the first year he understood what to do at Halloween. We'll see.
I'm really trying not to be too hard on Tim. I know how being unemployed with nothing to do all day can really get you down. I just feel like he doesn't try unless I give him a swift kick in the butt. I look for jobs for him and then email them. Then he "may" apply for them. I think our situation hasn't really hit him until this month. It especially hit when we turned the cable off. Which leads to the really bad news... I'm going to miss the season finale of Top Chef. What kind of crap is that. The day before my birthday and I can't watch Top Chef. This really sucks.
