I just had to ask my ex-mother-in-law if she could buy the kids (my two) some clothes to get them started in school. It was embarrassing and I felt horrible doing it. Our five-year old has 3 pairs of shorts and one pair of pants that fit him and only about 3 shirts that fit him. He is growing like a weed. Our daughter is the same way. Both of them have high-water pants now because their legs have been what has been growing (thanks to genetics......from me).
We can't afford it. We will barely be able to buy the school supplies that they need. I hate this. I hate having NO money. I hate NOT paying some bills because it is a choice between paying the bill or buying groceries. I hate having to ask others for money.
We have to figure out a way to get the oldest some clothes because he has outgrown most of his clothes as well....but he has been doing that like crazy so we don't buy him much at one time.....reason is that we have had to buy him clothes 5 different times over the last year because he out-grows them so fast!
Ugggg. I'm ready for school to start so that I can start working and bringing in some money! I think we will be OK once I start getting a paycheck again. Plus I will be getting some money back in September from my grants and loans from college that will be used to catch up on the bills we have had to skip out on this month.
But really.......where is the money tree?? At the very least does someone know how to shit money that can teach me how to do it??
I don't know sweetie...but if you find money tree, do you promise that I'm one of the first you'll let know? I can't take much more of this anymore either.
ReplyDeleteI will pray for a money tree for you!
