Just need to vent!

Sometimes I just get so frustrated, yet when I try to vent to my husband he just sits there and says nothing. I know he is just being quiet so that he doesn't make me angry, say the wrong thing, or no know what to say in general. Sometimes I really wish he would chime in though.

I am frustrated right now with the economic situation, and financial situation we have slowly fallen into. It isn't that we have spent irresponsibly, but that with one income, things had to change, and we maybe didn't change things soon enough.  I don't feel so much like we are drowning anymore, like I did about 3 months ago. Things are still not great and we are still making changes. I have learned a lot about where I can cut and save. I have learned to pinch pennies with the best of them. There are still many more things we can do, and we are working on doing more. One of the things I wanted to do was to trade in the jeep and get something we would have lower payments, lower gas bill, and lower insurance on. The downside to this situation is that we were so incredibly upside down on the hubby's truck we traded in for the jeep we have negative equity still lingering over our heads. Due to falling behind our credit rating has went down as well.  The combination of the two things have made this change nearly impossible. I'm still going to research a couple more options that we may have.

I just don't know what else to do. Thankfully it looks like there may be more job opportunities slowly coming available which would help if I could find something. I had a phone interview for one that is an awesome SAH position making decent $$$ part time. Fingers crossed!!! Everyone say some prayers!

Eliminate Grocery Bill & Make $$$!!!

Ok, so I have watched my mom do different network marketing ventures the whole time I have grown up. I even did the whole Mary Kay thing for a stint, but just didn't have the time to put into it. Now I am faced with finding a job for necessity, and want of staying at home and raising my children. When I was asked "Who do you know that buys groceries?" I was like....everyone. So who do you know that buys groceries? Would you be interested in eliminating your grocery bill and making money as well? What I'm talking about is legit, it works, and it is something to get excited about. It is a 2 x 2 Matrix...basically you make money by getting your friends involved. Do you know 2 people that would be interested? If so do they know 2 people each that would be interested? Right there you have made money. I'm really hoping that there are at least a few people out there that think this might be something worth getting excited about. I know how much money I personally spend at the grocery store. I know that the economy is the pits. I know that we need to eat to live. If you want more informaiton my website is www.mpbtoday.com/dawngray There is alot more information, as well as a video there. I can give you more information and explain how you actually make money, and what you get out of being an affiliate. I really hope to hear from you!

Newbie

Ok...so I am completely new to this blogosphere business, we'll see how it goes! Thanks to Julie for leading me to this site, I know it has been successful for you, hopefully it will be a good experience for me as well! Today I am going to be going to the high school and demanding some time with the guidance counselor. I guess I will consider this practice for when my kids are at that point. My nephew is a senior, and up until recently was just planning on going military. Now he is wanting to go Air Force Academy. Which takes much more preparation (i.e. SAT/ACT, recommendations, etc). The school counselor has been about as helpful as a grain of rice. Levi has a walk through tonight for his football game tomorrow! Tomorrow is his first football game of this season, he is playing QB! How exciting huh?! I think so. I am so looking forward to him playing tomorrow, I just hope he doesn't get nervous. Right now I'm working on furthering my education, and also trying to find ways to help supplement my family's income so I can afford to stay home with Connor! The more I think about leaving him, the harder it gets. Part of it is also, there are really no jobs around here. So I would be leaving him and allowing others to raise my child for a paycheck. Something I don't enjoy, at a place I would probably care less about being at. So I'm working on a few things...posts to come soon. I hope you will all check them out!
