Wow! So many of us seem to be having a hard time right now. I'm no exception. I get all freaked out when the money runs out before the month. My daughter's doc just told me today that her ankle is screwed up because of her sneekers. They're all worn out. And I don't have enough money to buy her another pair until next month. I only have $10 for the month. She's also out of Claratin that costs $10 and food. I was too depressed to go to the food bank this week. Her father keeps saying he'll help but never does. I've been trying to hide how sad I am from her. But today after her appointment, I just lost it in the car. I almost didn't make it to the car. I just started sobbing and I couldn't calm down. I felt so badly. I know she doesn't need to see that. I told her she could visit a friend this weekend if she wants but I'm not up to having anyone over. She said she didn't want to go. Part of it is because she's worried about me. She's 9. It isn't right for her to carry any of this. I try so hard to not put any of my stuff on her. But, I'm not doing a very good job lately.
