I know I must sound like a "Debbie Downer" OR "Negative Nancy" BUT I REALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS YEAR TO BE OVER! I'm ready for a NEW start! My Furry friends are the only ones I can vent to. Friends & Family on FB don't get it. I hear "Oh you'll be fine", "Put your big girl panties on", "Suck it up Buttercup", "It's Christmas, Be Happy!". Well....If I could I would! Christmas only intensifies ALL emotions. No matter what they are! If you're happy about the holiday's, you will be even happier. If you are stressed about finances, the stress only gets worse. If you have lost a loved one, the loneliness only feels sadder. I know I have by no means lost everything or have hit rock bottom. But....DAMN it's hard when your husband has not had an income in almost 3mo. and now a family of 4 is living off one income and the income is not enough for 1 person to live on let alone 4! I pawned my wedding band & whatever other jewelry I could come up with just to make the mortgage payment this month. There will not be Christmas gifts in this house. I picked up a small table & little stools from someones trash to repaint and give to the
Grand-baby's. My heart hurts so bad. I want it to be over.
