SO the automotive repair place called this morning about our car. I was in the shower so J took the call. He came in to tell me that they found ANOTHER problem that needed to be fixed in order for their other repairs to maintain quality performance. So J agreed to it. I asked how much more we would be paying (on top of the $340) he sweetly replies with "it will be a total of $530". I wanted to vomit (good thing I was in the shower). I just put my hands over my face and started bawling. I hate money! We seem to never have any and the minute we do and it looks like we are going to finally go somewhere in the direction of paying extra on getting out of debt something else shows it's ugly face and drags us back down. Later I was talking to J (after I calmed down some) and told him to watch out... we had $200 left in the bank something else was liable to break or need a repair. He loves my sarcasm... yes, that too is sarcasm!
Joke's on me. Later I found the Auto ins bill that had not been paid for the month at a whopping $47.70 (I know, I am grateful it is cheap... for two cars even) and of course I find the Phone bill that is due TOMORROW (I made the mistake of letting J handle the bills for a month... we had some late payments to say the least) the phone bill comes to $112 (for all 3 phone lines). WELL IMAGINE THAT! Sorry for the sarcasm. I am tired of pressing in just to SURVIVE another week to struggle through to the next one. It stinks really. We have been trying to figure out what to cut out. Our only "luxuries" really are our cell phones (dropping one would only decrease our bill by $10. And our internet which is really high if you ask me but sometimes I am expecting cheap things when there is no way.
Oh well... God always provides. It truly does not even make sense on paper but it always works out! We have a fixed car to say the least. It does, however, still smell like burning plastic! hahaha *smile*
tomorrow will be a better day. right??? Of course it will. I choose my attitude... God just corrects it! LOVE HIM!

Don't stress. We are all trying to tighten up our budgets so let's all work together and find ways to save money!
Too bad we don't all live on the same street! That would be the greatest neighborhood EVER!
I'll be praying for financial break through for your family.
Sorry things aren't working out the way you want. I hope this year looks up for you!
Girl, I understand!!! It seems like every time we get a little extra something like a car repair or a vet bill comes up!!! I have to remind myself that God provided the extra for such a need...but I would rather use that extra on paying debt or saving it. Guess it teaches me that I have to rely on HIM to provide and not myself....hmmmmmmmmmmm. Still working on that trust thing!
