Life is going good. I have no complaints other than I wish I had a money tree I could pluck money from every once in a while...
The home repairs are mounting daily BUT I keep consoling myself that once it's done it's done. If I had it to do all over again I think I would NOT have bought a house right after David and I got married. I think we had this picture of progression in our head sort of like the GREAT American dream -- get new car (check) graduate from college (check) start a career (check) get engaged and then married (check) buy a house (check) have a child (check) but things come up in between those progressions... There is such a thing and the unexpected happening and in mine and Davids case that has happened a lot. I wish someone had not just told us but shown us that we needed to save more for that rainy day, that the current state of our economy could and would really affect us on a personal level, that yes our daughter could and would get sick and other than paying the doctors bills and praying there wasn't much more we could do. Sometimes life and what occurs really is in the hands of others and we have to just deal. So tonight as I do all I can to crunch numbers, pay bills and not cry over spilt milk I will console myself with the thought that what is, is and what was, was. Lessons learned for better or worse and tomorrow will be a new day.

Do the best you can, no one can ask for more! I grew up with parents who both came from large families and had gone through WWI, the great depression and WWII. Both were frugal and knew how to make a penny scream! I learned a lot from them about budgets and priorities! And I do the best I can following their example! That's all anyone can do!
