When It Rains…
We’ve had a bit of rain at our house lately. Not literal rain, but the bad-luck kind. Man cub is having some school struggles. Tenth grade is proving to be tougher that we’d hoped. He’s trying hard, but still sliding down into the pit of “bad grades.” Then there’s the house. Along with fixing up some dry rot on the side due to water damage (dang trees), we just found out that we need our whole main sewage line replaced. Now, if we lived in Sacramento, this wouldn’t be a big deal. The city would cover it. For the joy of living in Davis however, it’s all on us. All $9,000.00 of it. Yup, 9K. Yeah, that was my reaction too. So WHILE trying to finish up school, teach art classes (that keep being cancelled because no one can afford such luxuries anymore), trying to help my son not flunk out of high school, we get to take out a loan just so we can flush the toilet. –sigh- I SWEAR I’m trying to keep positive. We have our health, we have each other, we still have a roof over our heads and food in the fridge. You know how when you stub your toe all you can think is “OW OW! MY TOE!” Well, I’m stubbed. All I can think is CRUD! THIS SUCKS! Thanks for letting me rant a little. I actually do have a plan of action to survive this with only one stress induced fever blister. 1) Go to the gym. Work out hard and enjoy a hot shower there. 2) Keep your eye on the long-term. It is an investment in our home. It’s not going to bankrupt us to take out this loan. We’re just pre-spending our tax return now. 3) YES! We all have our health, roof over our head and food. YAY! 4) Breathe 5) Man cub will be fine. There’s still two months till report cards and we’re all doing our best to help him recover from these academic adjustment bumps. 6) Breathe 7) It could ALWAYS be worse! 2 comments from 2 users
