Glad the weekend is over and I can't take anymore

January 5, 2009

I had the weekend from hell this weekend and I am glad it is over.

Friday night my daughter let her dog out into our fenced in back yard

and somebody outside of this family left the gate open. None of us

did that because we do not go in and out the gate. This happened at

1:30a.m. and I drove around until 4:00a.m. I had an appointment to

take my car in at 10:00a.m and so before I took the car again I drove

around looking for our dog. Our dog is very sweet but I believe he

may be a little challenged. He can never seem to find his way back

home. The dog did run out the front door once and was gone all day

before we found him. This dog is so good to and has tried

to pet the dog. Finally a neighbor said that our local grocery had a

since on the entrance door that said found dog and it had a contact

person. Thank goodness an employee of the store found our dog and so

now we he is safe at home. Apparently he tried to go to Starbucks. I

guess the dog had heard how good Starbucks was an he wanted to try it

for himself. After I got the dog back I was releaved until I got

the news about my car. I had to have $600 worth of work and the car

still needs another $500.. What happened to the good ole days when

you could get your car fixed for about $100. Two weeks worth of

paychecks will not cover my car expenses. I was already depressed

about life in general but this car thing has set us back. I feel like

we are never going to get ahead and I wonder sometimes how did we end

up this way. I am not a frugel person. I went 11 yr without a car

payment and had no credit cards. I was a an account executive for a

mortgage company making a great living and now we struggle paycheck

to paycheck. My husbands goes to work everyday and never takes off if

he is sick. I can only work while is in school because we do not

have anyone to watch him on a regular basis. I was lucky that a

respite worker could watch 3 days last week so I could work. I

want out of this life. I do not mean like out in the way of death. I

am out of the problems, the fianancial struggles, not feeling loved

or appreciated,etc. Life should not have to be this hard. The only

joy I get is when finally does something I have been working on

for a long time or watching Reba for a good laugh. I am sorry to

rant and rave I am just down right now. Cyndi B
