Holidays no longer seem fun to me. It seems the only thing anyone wants or cares about is the gift. When you are on a tight budget Christmas is a stress filled and anxiety ridden time for me. I don't enjoy this at all. I feel like what I'm able to do and what I want to do are two very different things.
My landlord out of no where told us we needed to get rid of Cindy's truck that is in our parking area, what sucked was the no notice and the fact that we are 7 days away from Christmas and less than 2 weeks away from rent being due and I'm the only one of us with an income again and she wanted it taken away today. So that's what we did... unfortunately it was done with the money set aside for gift buying. I guess I'm feeling hurt that even knowing I was not in a good place financially to do this today it was still asked that I do it. So Christmas once again just got even more stressful and the budget just became even tighter! Well I suppose bitching about it will not make money appear so I guess I better start thinking of some creative ways to make the dollar stretch a bit further! I'm trying, really I am . I want so much to feel happy and excited for Christmas instead of the impendighng doom feeling that I have in the pit of my stomach that keeps telling me it isn't enough
