...please excuse me for a minute here because I just need to speak!
#1. Mooch and Noodles had been doing pretty well with the Christmas tree. My biggest problems have only been, fighting under it, chewing on lower branches (and not too often either bc I have bitter apple spray), and unplugging the extention cord now and then while wrestling under the tree. It was getting aggrivating enought and then.... Well Mooch finally decided to climb the tree...inspite of the repellant I bought. It was $10 at petsmart so not a huge investment. I couldn't remember what I'd heard other people use on here so I tried that one. Does anyone know another good one? I'm so depressed I might have to take the tree down or do some serious cleaning so I can fit the tree in my study, which the tree is too tall for with or without the angel.....grrrrrr. I love my tree and my Angel (It's a boyd's bear!) Of all the cats I've had, I never had the problems i had with these two, mostly Mooch. I finally found a tree skirt too. But you know what? It just has not felt like Christmas at all this year. Just like the rat race picked up it's pace!
#2. I'm not Mrs Cleaver! There I said it! Mrs Cleaver didn't do the job I do. I work hard, therefore I am tired at the end of the day and housecleaning and cooking are not top priorities. I'd like them to be, but I just don't have it in me lately! On the weekends all I want to do is recuperate so I can be ready for the next week. Don't get me wrong, I like my job. It is rewarding. But it is still hard work!
#3. DH and I had an argument over a house we don't plan on buying for 4-5 more years! How rediculous is that!?! Basically I want to stay home with our kids and homeschool them. I have always wanted to do that. Soooooo.....he says we're going to have to get a double wide trailer but we'll put it on a fixed foundation unless he can get a job where he is making $30/hr. We already live in a trailer and I love my home. It's just not big enough. I've always dreamed of having my own home. A 2 floor home where my kids can have thier own rooms and be brought up in a loving home with all thier needs met. Please don't misunderstand me. I have nothing against living in trailers or raising kids in trailers. It's just not what I want. I'm not asking for a mansion and to stay home eating bonbons all day. I am going to be the main bread winner while my DH is in college for the next few years. A year or two after that we planned on starting a family and buying a house. I guess we just had completely different ideas on what that would be! I know a couple that are both department managers at walmart and just built a brand new home for cryin out loud! We are both or by then both will be college educated people. I don' t make a ton of money but I'm not making minimum wage either. I am just so frustrated. I feel like I've been slapped. He even said to me 'So what your saying is, is that I am not good enough for you unless I make $30/hr.' First of all I don't even know who put the idea in his head that he has to make that much. I'm sorry but my Bible says that God is no respector of persons. To me that means if other people can be blessed with houses and raise thier children themselves, why shouldn't I be able to! I read and study my Bible, I don't know it all but I am sincerely trying to follow Christ. I've always believed I would have a nice home and be able to raise my children myself. It is the desire of my heart and it always has been. I still believe it can happen, it's just like a slap in my face that he thinks we have to sacrifice one or the other. I'm sorry for all this for thoes of you who aren't religious and may not agree. I know having both of thoes things may mean sacrifices in other areas, but I deffinately believe there is a way to have both. Whether it be working on weekends and or nights or starting a savings account now for with whatever we can put in it. I'm just upset right now. I should have been born in my Grandparent's generaton or something!
Ok....whew.....I feel a little better. To thoes of you who were able to read all of this...God Bless You! I'm sorry to have gone on so long...I just don't have anyone to call right now.
