Since I've been s quite lately I thought I should give you all a reason. I am going through some hard times right now. We are living paycheck to paycheck and i have applied for food stamps. We are no longer using any a/c in our home to try and bring down our costs. I'm not really getting the help I need at home with Westley and I'm near the point of a nervous breakdown. It's gotten to the point that I can't even shower but every other day...things just seem to be falling apart around me. We are spending most days in out un-finished basement since it's so much cooler down there and I do not have internet or computer down there at all. I am trying my best to get all the commissions finished, but it's going very slow. I do not handle stress well at all and this by far the worst it's ever been. I'm so embarrassed by how broken my house is, but we can't afford to fix it, or even get it insured, so if it caught fire, we'd just be homeless. I now know I took on way too many commissions and will never do commissions again after these are all done. Some days I'm tempted to not do any more art, ever. So please, bear with me and don't be mad at me, I am trying, but I'm also trying not to go insane.
