bills bills bills

Since Himself changed jobs (they held his first check for 2 weeks,) I have been juggling bills. It will take me a while to get caught up, too.

It's not that he wasn't making any money but paying for registration for the vehicles was much more expensive this year than last, then school expenses, then fixing my car... etc etc etc.

I am hoping to be up to speed by the end of this month, when we get whomped by property taxes. (Which have also gone up. Again.)

I spoke to a customer service person at the cell phone company and she said she has been dealing with people who have lost jobs, their homes, all kinds of horror stories. Makes me darned thankful that we own our home and Himself has a steady job.

As the csr says, "It's not a matter of waiting for the storm to pass. It's a matter of learning to dance in the rain."

She is so right!

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
