I'll Have To Hold Onto That

It's been awhile since I've written. Such is usually the case when things are going well. I have an endless reservoir of sadness to tap into when things aren't going well, but for whatever reason, I feel less like writing when things are going well. Perhaps I just want to enjoy the smoother moments of life without over-analyzing.


We received our tax return and have effectively dug ourselves out of the financial hole we've been in for almost a year. I know it's only a temporary solution. I don't know what we'll do when the money runs out. Snookums needs a better paying job, but can't seem to get one. I work as many hours as I'm given, but it's not enough to cover all of our needs. Looking at our gross income for last year, I can't remember a time in our13 years of marriage that we've made less. With such an increase in basic living expenses. It makes me want to give up on trying to have a better life. As parents you want your kids to be afforded the opportunities you weren't. At the rate we're going, our kids are way worse off than we ever were. With the exception that they're happier and safer than I was. I suppose I'll have to hold onto that...

There's nothing much to share. I'm really just checking in and trying to stay in the habit of writing before I fall off the wagon all-together. My laptop battery is at 7%, so I suppose even if I did have something to share, it wasn't going to happen now. That's what happens when you trust your kid plugged it back in after doing homework, but the charger wasn't actually in the outlet, and you didn't bring said charger with you to the library... oh well. I'm alive. That's all I needed to share. More/better entries to come, I'm sure.
