Just When You Think You Might Get Ahead…

I was looking forward to Hubby’s payday today. He said he was supposed to be getting a nice bonus because they got all of the work they were supposed to have done by the end of the year completed. Imagine my surprise when I opened his direct deposit report and found that he made less than he usually makes.

Not only did they not give them the bonus on this check, his crew was also rained out a couple of times during the last pay period. So now we’re going to be seriously scraping by for the next couple of weeks. Happy happy, joy joy.

I hope to be getting a check next week, but it may not come until the week after. That’s the only money we’ll be getting until he gets paid again. And by the time I pay the bills that are due, we will have almost nothing left. I’m so tired of this it’s not even funny. Every time I think we might have a little breathing room, something happens that we don’t.

Must not get bent out of shape over this. Must calm down and breathe and remember that things will get better.
