I’ve been feeling quite depressed recently. I’m tired of working 2 jobs, but I really don’t have a choice. There are always so many bills and never enough money. Now my car has an oil leak, and it sounds funny, and it shakes driving down the road. All those things take money that I just don’t have…and have no prospect of getting any, either.
I leave for work fairly early in the morning and don’t get home until almost 11. By then, the youngest are usually in bed and the oldest should already be, but aren’t. I rarely see any of them anymore. I see Tassie for about an hour a day, while we watch Scrubs & According to Jim before we go to bed at midnight.
The 2 nights I don’t work at Pizza Hut are Monday and Thursday. Monday is typically Family Home Evening and Thursday is always Scouts & Mutual, so that doesn’t count. I like my calling, but it doesn’t help with the free time issue.
Somehow I’ve got to figure out how to:
- Spend more time with my family
- Save some money for rainy days
- Get out of my funk
I wish I had some ideas, but nothing comes to mind…in fact, it hasn’t come to mind for quite a long time now…
