Finally Back Online

Whew what a few weeks we have had.  The kids have been not well, I have not been well, the weather has been very suckish...need I say anymore?  Between work, school, kids and housework I am rundown, tired, depressed and just plain out of it.  BUT things can only get better from here, they always can only get better right?  Someone please tell me I'm right!  Well on a good note my kids have not seriously maimed each other (a big plus in my book), my bills are caught up and we didn't lose power during the ice storm.  I thank God mostly for that because if we had we would have been forced to stay with my mother...she is the only one with a working fireplace.  Of course she isn't as bad as I make her out to be, its just when we are together there is always a financial discussion which sadly turns into a shouting match about how I spend and don't save and I know deep down she is right but I am who I am.  Sooner or later I will figure it all out and it will probably be later than sooner I'm sad to say.
