No, not at all. I'm in the same SM

situation.  Bills are piling up, Christmas in a few days.  I've been working a lot of overtime as I'm the only one who can (due to work schedule).  Hubby keeps agreeing to pick up the slack with the kids and house, but although he may be well intentioned...my house looks like a tornado hit it.  Very stressful on my part as he makes smart alec remarks from time to time...jeesh!  I'm not superwoman.  Also, I'm terrified that someone from church or his family will drop by without calling first.  Already had the landlord stop by to look at the furnace and I felt like crying (or puking...lol) after he left.  I've been anxiously looking for an eviction notice!!  (not really, but I'm sure he was regretting renting his house to such a slob...waaahhhh).

Deep cleansing breath...Alveeno take me away.  Oh well, fortunately Christmas is almost past and the bills are just about caught up.  I certainly can't keep up this pace for every (about ready to run away from home as it is!).

Just sending out understanding vibes your way!  It helps to vent.

Take care and try to enjoy Christmas.

Sincerely,

Chickadee
