Seriously Why Can’t Just ONE Thing Go Right???
Yeah this is gonna be a vent.
UGH. Why me? Why why why? Why is there always something going wrong in my life? I am at my best friends ouse right now using her laptop (and I’m thankful I made it this far with my piece of CRAP car!).
I had to leave my house early (usually I leave at 3:45pm to get to B’s house for when the kid’s get off the bus – Caleb doesn’t go to the school in our neighborhood. He goes to where B’s daughter goes because it’s a better school district) today because I had to stop and price getting my muffler fixed and new tires. Even at Wal-Mart the cheapest tire for my car is $60.00. So even going with 2 new tires is still gonna be more than I can afford. And actually the only reason I was even pricing tires is because my best friend told me to find out how much they would cost.
As for the muffler I didn’t even make it to the place to have them look at it because the battery light came on and then there was a ton of smoke rolling out from under my hood.
Let’s just say I’m having a good cry right about now. I have NO money to fix anything on my car. Let’s just say I have NO money for anything at the moment. Last month’s income dropped way below what I have been averaging and it hurt. It hurt bad. Not to mention that I’m now getting 1/2 of the child support I used to so it was like a double whammy in finances being reduced.
I’m trying to be postive here. At least I was able to make it to B’s house so I’m here for the kids when they get off the bus. I’m thankful my car didn’t break down on my way here and in all the traffic. But it’s so HARD remaining positive. I’m already robbing Peter to pay Paul so there’s just no funds to work with. At all. No way no how.
Sometimes I feel like I’m cursed. Either that or I just have really bad luck. Whatever it is – it SUCKS! Sorry to be a downer but why can’t things just go right for once?

You have so much wonderful knowledge and experience to share – surely there’s a way to create income from your strengths. You’re incredibly personable and empathetic so I have to believe you have more than what it takes to create wealth. REALLY! What about coaching single moms on how to start a business from home?

Hang in there. I know it’s rough, and the roughest times always seem to happen around the holidays. As if there isn’t enough stress already. But it is so frustrating. I agree with what Annette said, and some of the Twitter comments about modeling – you can accomplish so much – you HAVE accomplished so much with your life. Think about all those accomplishments and then set down a new game plan to get you through. “Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” (unknown – quote on my calendar).
