I’m hoping that next month will bring a break in our financial difficulties. It certainly should, because Hubby will start getting full checks from his new job. He’s working 50 hour weeks most of the time, and compared to the 20 or so hours a week he got at his last job, it should be a huge improvement.

I do need to quit getting so far ahead of myself. I’ve already got a mental list of things I want to buy. Many of them are actually needs, but I even need to slow down on them because there are just so many. I need to look at new clothes for all of us (yes, we honestly all need some), water purifiers to tame our well water, some sort of storage for our towels and linens… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Oh, and let’s not forget Pumpkin’s school supplies!

I suppose I should try to make a list of things we need by priority. It won’t be easy, but it will be helpful if I can make myself do it.
