Gosh! Keeping things positive is killing me!!! I'm trying to get my life on track and live and be the kind of woman I want to be, but this is getting hard. I have had some very good days but lately the hits just keep on coming. The bills are the most predominant on my mind. Being a school bus driver means that I'm off in the summer. I work a summer school route but that is onlt 9 hours a week. We are barely scraping by this summer and to top it all off the mail just keeps bringing in the bills. This week one got sent to collections and the student loan people are threatening wage garnishments. How do I turn this around and start feeling like I am winning and not failing?
We are a poor family who barely make ends meat but that doesn't mean I want my family to look or feel that way. I make sure my girls look nice and clean. I have recently decided that just because we are living modestly doesn't mean we have to feel like we are poor. I have found the nicest name brand clothes for my girls from Once Upon a Child. The clothes are in great condition and so many of them are from expensive brands. My girls look great and I have only spent twenty bucks! I just went there and they were having a $1 clearance sale. I bought Lorelai six new outfits! Next I'm going to be working on the house. I have champagne taste on a beer budget but I think I can devise a way to bring high style to my home on a very modest budget. Yes I think I will had that to the list. To start feeling wealthy and then maybe I will bring wealth to me and my family. I will post on what I find.
