My first time writing a blog and hoping it will help ease this uncertainty that has crept into my life lately. Even though I know that God will never fail us and that he will always provide, I still have that feeling that we are sinking way too fast..
Our situation is so incredibly tight at the moment and we are upside down on everything. This week I plan to sit down with my husband and explain (once again) our dire circumstances. We need to cut back, and for real this time.
We will start by the land line at the house.. I don't want to get rid of it but I want to reduce it to the bare minimum. DirecTV can also be put on hold for a period of six months. This will be great because we watch too much TV anyway and we can take advantage of the free websites that have episodes of our programs. We also have Netflix and the kids can enjoy that.
Next, is trying to find a job for my husband. That will be hard for now since the kids are on summer break and he is staying with them during the day. At least I am now working two jobs and have some extra income coming in, but for now it's just not enough.
I pray that this journey we are about to embark on will be as smooth as possible.. Oh who am I kidding, this is going to be hard as hell.. but it needs to be done.. We cannot continue to live this way and we need to set a good example for our kids. I want to keep them involved as much as possible so they can understand and learn from our mistakes.
Let the journey begin.
