making slow changes for the better
• Wednesday, September 13, 2006 - New Hope
Well I did it, I read the book of John. And then I read it and read it and then read it again. I am thankful to those that recomended that I read it to start. I have a new outlook on my life it seems, and I am going to try to do things different in my life from this day forward. One thing that has become of interest to me is dressing in a modest way. I have never been comfortable showing much skin to begin with, and I am going to work towards trying to dress in skirts from now on. Problem being that I only own like two. Well it is a start right? I will check out the goodwill when I have the time to root through the racks. They just usually do not have a good supply of plus sized clothes, which unfortunatley I need.
I didn't mention before that I am having problems in my marriage, but I think that I am ready to share, maybe I can get help from some of you ladies out there. If seems my husband is not happy in our marriage. Or should I say he is not happy with his life, and thinks it is me. I have not been the wife that I know that I should have been, but I have been faithful, and I have been a good mother to my children. Money is very tight in our house right now, and now he believes that maybe I should try and find a job to help out with the finances. One problem is that I have 4 children, two of which are in school fulltime, but two are home all day. Daycare these days is way to much to afford, plus I do not want that for my kids, I want them home with mom. So now he suggests that I work at night when he is home, another problem, because there is 4 of them, and I think it might be to much for him to handle by himself. Plus I like to be here when my little ones go to sleep. Now I am stuck on what to do, I do watch one little girl two days of the week, and get paid $50 a week for that. That helps with spending money, but there never seems to be enough money. I am now looking on ways to cut down our bills, like refinancing and cutting other costs. All of this, and I am also dealing with the fact that he is unhappy and is thinking about divorce. This is one of the reasons that I have turned to the bible for answers, I find comfort in it, and hope that things will turn around for the better real soon. I have to go for now, and get some things done around here. Sorry I am going from subject to subject, but my mind is a mess, and is on overload as of late. Talk to you all real soon, and have a beautiful day!

As for your situation, try to cut back on your bills and your spending. You can't solve money problems with more money, so I don't think you working will help the situation. You need a lifestyle change, control spending, keep money in the bank longer and put it to better use. There is a wealth of information on the blogs around here. I'm sure that you can find something to implement just by hitting the "random" button above.
Should you need a talk, or someone to sympathize, or someone to help you sort through all the information you manage to find, come on over to my blog and leave a message. I can always find a way to get in touch with you one on one if you don't want an open forum.
Keep your chin up,
