How is it that.....

We can go from having food, and a little bit of savings, and extra money to having nothing???

I know that times are tight, I really do. And we have cut back. No more dining out. I'm getting really good at making the best out of whatever we have in the cabinets. The kids are eating more cereal for breakfast cause it's cheaper and last longer than what we had be doing....but this is getting crazy.

We are not rich, nor have we ever been. We were able to make our bills, and sometimes have some left over money for fun stuff....now we don't even have money for prescriptions, or to go to the grocery store to buy milk and eggs.

Some one please tell me we aren't the only family that is struggling this badly!! And I can only hope that once our President changes that his "change" will occur quickly. It is very sad for me to look in the cabinets and see that we have nothing in their for breakfast, lunch or dinner....

Or to come home and find that the water company turned off my water bill cause I was short $69.08. Not only did they turn the water off, but they didn't give us any notice. We had finally gotten to where we weren't living that close to paycheck-to-paycheck and then Icee starts cutting hours and now we are back to not even making it to the next paycheck.

I'm tired of robbing Peter to pay Paul, poor Peter is out of money....I'm tempted to just see about what money I can get out of life insurance policies just to get us through until the taxes come through.

Now don't get me wrong, we are one of the lucky ones cause Michael does still have a job, but come on, does it have to continue to be this hard.....at any one point in my life will it be any easier???
