Things Have to Change

Tweet

So when we moved down here about 13 years ago, the idea was that we would live with my parents until we got on our feet. It was a great plan until it wasn't. We got on our feet then my dad's health began to decline. Then we got swept off our feet with the declining economy and higher cost of living. Then dad's health again. My mom is capable but she is so used to having me around, that she isn't used to doing much work...at least that's what I'm guessing. It's just getting to the point that it's hard to have both households living under one roof. Most of the house is mine if you look at material things. The shop takes up the dining room. Then there's our bedroom and I take the extra bedroom with the bearded dragon and containers of books. I have half of the computer room with my computer and CDs. The kitchen is about a quarter mine because I buy different gadgets and ingredients that I use to cook and bake with. I love my family. I truly do. However living with them is becoming very hard. I push the shop to save as much as I can. I work the hours for Chris to try and save. I work the computer to try and save. My husband works a full time job and works over when he can to save. Bills take over sometimes though and lets face it, we're still trying to catch up from when he didn't work in December. We have a long road ahead of us but something has to give...right?
