Of course I remember you Stringer. Sorry that I haven't been cheerful, I just feel utterly defeated today.

I'm the one that takes care of everything around here. R is great, he's a good man, but when it comes to running the house, taking care of the kids and animals, it's all on me. I can't do everything anymore. I can't be everywhere, and all of this stuff going on today just brings all that home. It's been a mountain waiting to fall and bury me, and today is the day it fell.

I'm looking at my 15 year old dog thinking that it's long past time to put him to sleep (not because he peed and pooed in my house, but because he's suffering, he's old, and he isn't enjoying this any more than I am), but I can't afford to.

The kids go back to school on Monday. I have half their school supplies bought, I can't afford the other half. It was Syd's birthday yesterday, I got her a coloring book and a little stuffed hamster. They weren't expensive, but even those two small things were more than we can afford.

I'm tired of being broke all the time, not having enough money to even take my kids to McDonalds as a special treat. What really burns my hide is that it doesn't have to be this way. We could be out of debt if R's sister would just give us our inheritance. She finally finished renovating R's moms house, and she had it on the marked for over 2 months at way above market price. They just took it off the market so now it looks like it will be another year (if we're lucky) before we can even hope to get what is rightfully ours. I say hope because it's not certain that she'll actually do the right and legal thing. She's rich, and she's willing to screw over anyone so she can get richer. In the meantime, I do without as much as I can (including my medication) so that my kids can get a coloring book and a small stuffed animal for their birthday. :(

I just want to curl into a ball and cry my eyes out, but I can't.

Sorry to load this all out here, but I can't keep it bottled up inside anymore. Today is the day that broke me. It's the final straw.

Well I sure know how to clear a room.

Sorry everyone. I didn't mean to whine and complain.

Please carry on with something fun and pleasant. I don't want to bring everyone down.

Here, I'll give you a topic. Coconuts, they're neither cocoa or nuts. Discuss. ;)

Still here alty.

Your really having a crappy day.

There's not much I can do to help,and sometimes words don't cut it either.

You're a good mother and your both good parents,this will pass,just tuck that thought into the back of your mind.

Tomorrow indy will hopefully feel better,the calls will stop and carla will gain 10lbs over night.

The next time Carla calls.. have whistle ready. A good whistle and get it as close to the receiver as you can and blow.. hard... Poor Carla no more calls.

LOL! I hope Carla gains 50. ;)

It's not the Carla thing, that was just the final straw. Maybe if I vented more these things wouldn't build up to this point, but believe it or not, I tend to keep my problems to myself, until I hit a breaking point.

Indy is done. He's been on his last legs for longer than he should have to be, but I can't spend money to euthanize him when my kids need back to school supplies, dental work, birthday gifts. I know, maybe it's selfish, but I have to have priorities right now. Indy isn't in pain, so that's something, but I'm not being a very good fur baby mom. I feel horrible about it because I know it's time. It's been time for a long time, but I can't afford to do it right now.

I need to win the lottery, or rob a bank. I think the lottery is more likely than turning to a life of crime, but I tell you, if I knew I could get away with it, at this point it's something to consider. I'm that desperate.

We shouldn't be having all these money issues. R makes a good living, but for some reason we're always playing catch up, not even living pay cheque to pay cheque. I don't know why. We don't spend a lot of money, we hardly ever go out to eat, we don't have luxuries, we both have older cars that are paid for. I just don't get it. Where is the money going? Why are we always behind?

I'm just stressed, and it's not good.

Now, about the coconuts. What are your thoughts? ;)

Watch Banged Up Abroad Online - Full Episodes of Banged Up Abroad & More TV Shows Online with blinkx Remote

Have any of you ever watched this series.

Its about 'tourists' who get involved in drug smuggling.

All have a common theme.

1. they all say 'what could possibly go wrong'

2. 'my gut said don't do it,I still did'

3. I'm sorry I got caught and the grief I caused my family.

Not one of them ever say,I'm sorry about the drugs and damage I did to the people who took them.

Even still its good TV,you end up shouting at the TV saying 'you idiot!'

Aww big bear hugs Alty

Can't R have a word with her, saying how it really would help the family out

Do you have a friend that's good with maths that could help you go through where all the money is going to help you figure out where you can prioritize :)

If I win the lottery you win too.
We'll go to Ireland, pick up Red. Bella will come too. JudyKay and WG and Jake.Jlo and Jal. Wow!

Ah alty,have a smoke with me, and we will have a good b!tch about carla and her hairy upper lip.

Now that girl has problems!

I have no solutions to your problems but I know a great question and answer site that might help..

I have beer,smokes,and bony shoulder that yours to thump if you need it.

Carla is probably a cross dressing man who tried to fit his size 12 feet into a sie 8 stilleto. And his girdle is killing him.:eek:

LOL! Thanks everyone. Bear, you're squeezing to tight, relax the grip, I can't breath! ;)

Red, I'll take two smokes and a Coors light please. A sexy man in a thong wouldn't hurt, but he'll have to be a freebie.

Kit, Carla probably lives alone with 30 cats and a dandruff problem. She'll get hers. One day I'll call her and tell her off. ;)

You all made me feel better. You always do. Thanks.

You want coconuts?

Oh my sweet, you could never ever be forgotten. You are always in my thoughts, and that's the plain simple truth.

I often think of our castle days, you and me against the duck, making plans for a wonderful meal only to have the duck outsmart us and get away, even thought she only had two tail feathers left.

Our antics with the whip, your jokes, your wonderful personality which shines through in every single post. You dear are a gem, and you shine. You could never ever be forgotten.

If I won the lottery I'd have an AMHD party. I'd rent a hall, and make all of you come to Canada. Of course I'd pay for the flight, the hall, the food, you name it. We'd go all out, either a formal ball, or a big BBQ bash. I'd give you all a taste of this beautiful country, and I'd even rent a polar bear so that Sneezy could finally get his wish. ;)

I love you all more than you could possibly know. You keep me grounded, you all make me smile even when all I want to do is cry. I can't thank you enough for that.

Man I'm being mushy today. Someone give me an upper! :eek:

I have many single friends Bear, some around your age, others that would be illegal for you to date in some states. ;)

Of course they're all single for a reason, but still, they're single. ;)
