Money, Money, Money, Money.....Money....


So why can't money grow on trees? It would sure take care of a lot of issues these days. Homelessness, hunger, being able to see a doctor, dentist or a psychologist when you need to, no foreclosure's and no bills being swept under the rug in hopes that they will just go away.  

I hate pay day cause I look at my poor husband, he works his ass off every day. He's up at 3am every morning to be to work at 4am, he get's off at 12pm and goes to bed by 8pm. This is a normal thing for him till he get's to his day's off, Sunday and Monday. He does not get much rest those day's and he has a hard time doing much cause he's wired in to his sleep schedule. He is beat and it shows in his additude and his looks.

Today he got his paycheck, he works for a little over mim wage and his hours have been falling. I watched him rush to find the money just to pay our bills. We paid the balance left on our rent and our phone bill. He had to beg his grandpa for money to pay the car insurance or it would have been cut off. He also had to get an advance just to have the money to pay the rent. We had $40 left over and put $20 in the gas tank and bought $18 worth off grocery's, we have $2 left for the rest of the pay period. We were not able to buy diapers or wipes, soap or toilette paper. Our children and going back in to cloth diapers and we hope that the rashes stay away.

It seems we can never get ahead, when we think we have dug ourselves out of the hole it starts all over again. We don't get any help from the government as they say we make to much but we do get food stamps. With out those, I hate to say we would not eat. I just hate to see this cause next pay day it will be the same but to top it off we will have to pay grandpa back and then pay the advance back. 

I wonder if it will ever get better? I mean it can't be like this forever, right?
