- ok. not really a leak. more like the bottom just ripped out on some jagged rocks. i wasn't paying attention to where i was going, didn't see the shoals up ahead.
or maybe i did, and just thought they wouldn't apply to me.
imagined immunity.
it's my own fault for straying so far from shore.
i used to be a very capable person. you would have marveled at the skill of my budgeting and penny-pinching. it was almost a game. made me feel all laura ingalls wilder, smart and self-sufficent pioneer stock. my favorite saying was a line from the farmer's almanac: if it won't make a pot, it will make a pot lid.
i pulled us out of debt. my schemes and lists made his paycheck enough to pay off both our school loans.
but that must have been one of the things i lost when my old life died. when i buried the housewife.
oh gods. not even praying is enough anymore.

Tj I'm sure you'll be fine,it's a temporary setback.
please don't doubt your abilities,everyone has hard times sometimes, you'll make it through.
Just get down to basics and try and make a plan, I'm sure you can do it.
plus if you want a distaraction come to BC's blog, we need you as a bridesmaid, we have nice dresses and I found some killer heels.

paperheartxx, you are possibly the sweetest person i know. if we ever met in real life, i would have to squeeze the stuffing out of you!

TJ, I'm pretty sure we'd kill each other in hugs! If that is even possible.. if not, we'd make it happen! =]
*HUG*
*HUG*
the funny thing, paperheartxx, is that in real life i'm really bad at the whole hug thing. i like them, but have never been good at giving them (never know when) and always feel weird when i get them.
so i really am your student when it comes to the hug fu! ^__^
Toujours, this is late, but thank you for your comment on my blog.
You're an artist when it comes to your thoughts.
Thank you for those words.
Are things looking up for you yet?
you're welcome, mustard. the things you've written to me have really meant a lot, and i just wanted to maybe send a little of that energy back to you. :)
things might be looking up. i have a job interview this afternoon, so keep your fingers crossed for me!
Fingers crossed.
Legs crossed.
And eyes crossed!
