Bummer Day

So today started off promising.... Christmas baking day at my in laws. The day was filled with sugary treats and other children to play with my two year old. Yes, there were a few hiccups with the 2 year old consisting of pushing, hitting, and a thrown flower pot, but overall it went quite well. I think the bummer day hit around 3:30 when we finally were packed and out of there, with my little man throwing a tantrum all the way to the car and a good while into the drive home. Luckily he fell asleep in the car and I was able to transport him quietly to his bed without waking him. I had 2 hours of freedom! Or so I thought, until the 3 month old woke up and wanted to eat and then wouldn't go back down. No time alone. I finally put the littlest man down in his bed and took a good long shower with shaving my legs and everything. But to no avail he was still awake when I got out. The hubby was minutes from being home, the 2 year old ready to wake up from his nap, and I still had not gotten more than 20 minutes to myself.

Luckily the hubby took the two nuggets to the store for groceries and I have a blissful hour or so to do whatever I want. So what should I do? I decide to take a good look at our finances and come up with a budget. Well that just got things really into a bummer, since we spend about 40% more than we make, and that is just for the basics! Ah! I need a job. So I go online looking for a part time job, in the evenings, with somewhat good pay so that we can survive. There is nothing out there people! At least not on the internet. I am going to have to go from business to business asking if they are hiring like I did back when I was sixteen looking for a summer job. It is so frustrating to have a college degree and not be able to do anything to help with the finances.

So I am now feeling like today was a total bummer day. At least I was able to get my kids both in bed by 10pm last night. It was a miracle.
