My son is struggling to get work, our retirement savings got cut in half after the election and we know that they aren't going to recover. Social Security recipients didn't get a cost of living raise this year and we all know that inflation is going to take off like a rocket. It is tough to keep from raging when the president and his wife fly to Paris for dinner and don't seem to care that his "priorities" are really hurting our country.

First, the summer here in Arizona! It is flipping hot!! It it also very hard to keep 4 kids inside all day long. I need a break. Which brings me to my next rage. My husband and I were supposed to go to resort tonight without the kids, but we woke up to a water leak, and finding out I need new brakes on the car. So much for being able to afford the special rate of $79 a night at the resort (which is a great rate, but we still need to buy breakfast, lunch, and dinner)!! Oh well, at least my mother in law is still going to watch the kids over night. At least I will get a break even if it is at home.Cari H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-31167975562506064742009-07-17T11:14:19.227-05:002009-07-17T11:14:19.227-05:00My rage this summer is that my husband was laid of...My rage this summer is that my husband was laid off 1/2/09 and still hasn't found work. My job substitute teaching ended in June, so there's very little income here. However, the toilet broke and needs to be replaced, we are fighting with the insurance company and hospital over a $12,000 hospital bill, the dog needs her shots, the kids need doctor appointments, the light fixture in the bathroom will not work - I could keep listing for several paragraphs the number of things that are breaking right now. Added to that, the too much togetherness of having hubby home all day every day is stressing me out. So I'm raging against everything going wrong all at once - when it rains, it pours. Having a 10-year old cancer survivor at home, it makes me wonder when and if that other shoe is going to drop, too, just to kick us again when we're already down.Suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-15715934530793595002009-07-17T10:40:16.700-05:002009-07-17T10:40:16.700-05:00I am raging again my desire to go back to school a...I am raging again my desire to go back to school and the reality of my life trying to hold be back...I won't let it happen!

I'm too lazy to actually fold the laundry and bring it upstairs when the dryer stops. I'm too lazy to go through my stacks upon stacks of mail to decide what needs to be shredded. I'm too lazy to go buy hedge clippers so I can trim the two trees that are taking over the front of my house. And I'm too lazy to pull the dead weeds that I sprayed Round Up on 2 weeks ago. I. AM. LAZY.

My expectations of him are probably a little overboard.<br /><br />If I win this book I hope he will read it because he had a shitty childhood.

It's my first summer not having to work and being able to be home with the kids and I'm not able to be out in the sun everyday. The second is the amount of money that is flying out of my house.
