Money woes....

Well, our money woes are killing me! They are just stupid mistakes. I don't know how many times I have said these same words. "I have to dig us out and stay out of being behind." I don't think we ever will be ahead of the game! It sickens me that we get in this predicament every mother flipping time!! Shoot, we paid off all of our bills, bought all new furniture PLUS, we borrowed $5000 to a family member when we sold our house. Then, yes, AGAIN! We got back behind. ~sigh~
My youngest obstained an insury, MY FAULT, and is still having problems with it. I put her over a baby gate and she landed funny on her left leg. Loong story short, after many Xrays, blood work and a trip to the Childrens ER at MUSC, there is nothing wrong. She is still limping and it has been almost two weeks! If she doesn't improve, I will take her in on Monday.
I take a CPR/first aide class tomorrow. Fun. Excitement. It is from 8 am to 5 pm. Great, huh? Yes, I am dripping with sarcasm. It MUST be done. Well, I want to do it and have it under my belt for Girl Scouts. Ooh, I started a page for our troop. I have to ask the other leaders if they approve and if the parents don't mind their kids picture posted on it. I will see if I can't privatize the web site so only people that know about it can go to it or something. I don't want perverts going on to see our girls on there. We will get to that later.

Well, where do I start? We are screwed yet again with MONEY! We were given more money for repayment for a loan from a family member and we blew our checking account! We are -330. There is a clothing allowance coming soon at least. We need to get out of this hole we put ourselves in.
This is the way it has worked forever. We get behind, get a large sum of money, pay everything off and then get stuff. We continue to live like we have that large sum of money and then get in the hole again. The thing is, we have $800 a month EXTRA after bills AND food. I don't get how we screw ourselves. I let "the boob" aka my husband talk me into stupid SH*T and then we are F*CKED again.
Ooh, on top of it....I think I sprained my baby's ankle. I was mad that The Boob would not come and get her. I was trying to clean out the van and she almost broke the CD player. I brought her in and put her down a little too hard. Her ankle took the brunt of it. Bad Mommy...She loves me now though. I gave her some Tylenol with Codeine. She still will not walk because of the pain. I need a vacation somewhere exotic......... J
