SWW


  • So what if I was brought to tears at the generosity of my friends and family to help raise money for the American Cancer Society! The auction will be starting soon and I'll share all the details when I have them. Kim even offered 10% of the proceeds from her Scentsy sale to go to the ACS. Visit her page to buy and support! If you are looking for a little 31 Gifts action, the lovely and amazing Chrystal is offering 10% of the proceeds from her line to be donated to the ACS as well! The September special is every $31 spent, you get 31% off anything in the catalog with exception to the collegiate line!
  • So what  if I am late as shit posting this. God, I cannot keep up.
  • So what if I feeling like I am busting my ass just to keep my head above water, but internally I am drowning in debt and stress.
  • So what if I just want one damn day off. From all responsibility including diapers, cooking, grocery shopping, being an employee to people that sometimes (most of the time) don't appreciate me, and trying to kick ass in the stationery and invitation game.
  • So what if I literally have $1.67 in my checking account until payday. I think certain people are under the impression that Kent and I are living this high life in Florida, when in reality, this is what I have. Not even enough money in my account to buy a taco.

really feeling you on the debt, babes. money stinks. if i win the lottery, i will paypal you a few G's. promise. i guess that means i really shld start playing the lottery in real life instead of just on TV as the balls come out of the machine (the man and I shout numbers at the screen as they come up. sometimes we get lucky. but still broke as shit.)

Shannon said...

I can't wait for the auction to start, since I don't have anything to donate hopefully I can at least bid on something and help out that way. You're doing a really great thing.

Karen said...

We probably have the same balance in our checking accounts :).

Heather (Live.Love.Laugh.) said...

Your bank balance is about the same as mine until D gets paid!!! Good thing for cereal and eggs!!! Ha!!

Rachel said...

Your blog makes me laugh every time you post! :) Maybe that'll cheer you up a little bit. Also, your financial life is none of my business, but all I have to say is www.daveramsey.com. Follow the baby steps, it works. We didn't think we'd ever get above water, but we had no other options. You might give it a try!

Valerie said...

Wow I am shocked. I swear I thought I was the only mom out there who literally has no money. I stress all the time how could I possibly be like this?? It's so damn nice to know I'm not alone. Very very nice. We are about to walk away from our house and let the bank take it along with one of our cars. So yeah I feel you on this one.

K said...

I wish I could make something crafty! Don't even know what I would do! And totally hear you on the bank account thing. One of these days I will get the hang of being an adult and actually saving money!

Melissa at Tall Blonde Blog said...

I need one damn day off too.

Keep your chin up.

Mrs EyeCanSee said...

That is AWESOME you've already raised so much!!

And don't even get me started on money and stress. Thank GOD it's pay day tomorrow!!!

Mrs. Newlywed Giggles said...

YOu are not alone. debt sucks. But only thing we can hang on too is we have the beauty of breathing today. xoxo

Ashley said...

Awesome that you're raising $$ or ACS! And I could have written this entire post myself. Ugh.

Hang in there! (hopefully payday is soon.).

Mrs. I said...

Awesome on the donations!!

You are not alone on the debt and stress...wish I *could* donate. truly. Lost my dad when I was 22 and my heart aches in situations like yours.

xoxox

Ashley Paige said...

our bank accounts look awfully similar. thank god for Kraft Mac and cheese. And Coors Light. Talk about slumming it. ;) you are NOT alone my friend.

Erika said...

Debt and stress...We are in the same boat. Wish I could wave a magic wand and make it all go away. Hugs mama.

Lauren said...

Just want to say that your blog has become a daily read for me! I appreciate your honesty and realness and you never pretend to be somebody your not!!!! Thank you for that! With all that said, keep your chin up girl :) Xo.

Erin @ Sassin' Southern Style said...

Maybe not a burrito supreme, but you can totally buy a crunchy taco with that!
I feel you on the keeping your head above water, but my issues are mostly attributed to school. When you think to yourself, "you know, what if I went back to school for---" ... stop yourself right there and head to the boxed wine. It's a bad idea.

Jess @ Wrangling Chaos said...

Wait. There are people out there who have money between paychecks? Cause in this house we pay all the bills and then hit the coin star after digging through the couches, for groceries.

In other words. I borrowed $6 from my kid the other day to buy toilet paper.

"B" said...

Umm I want to know why daycare is so freaking expensive..makes working seem pointless!! We are in debt up to our eyeballs... Thank goodness the baby food is free right now b.c I don't think we can afford anythIng else!!!

ffprncez said...

i know I am not a mother but there are days when i wish that i could have to day off too, from responsibility. it sucks.

Janice's footsteps said...

Okay now wait!!! You ARE NOT living the high life in Florida??? WTH I was so under the impression that was what was up LOL Hang in there I have you in prayers and sending you hugs and hopes of a day off :)

Ginger said...

well we have some money in the bank, but owe TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS for Scott's law degree that he DOESN'T USE (and a bunch more for the mistake of a house I bought. sigh).... so, I understand the drowning feeling too. it is nice, as someone else said, to feel not alone.

at least you're cute as hell :)
