Pardon my outburst...

HOW?  How do they all do it???  How do my friends and neighbors afford their lives?  Private schools!  Clothes for their kids!  Clothes for themselves!!  Child care!  Vacations!

Why is it that I have to get a better job just so we can move out of this school district!?  And why is that so impossible to do?! 

My kids wear hand me downs.  They don't have video games or phones or ipads or expensive toys.  We are guests on almost all of our vacations.  I haven't replaced my old, nearly dead shoes.  We haven't bought a stick of furniture!  Even our TV was a gift.  How is it possible that we have so much NOTHING?!

PLEASE someone hire me. 

All I want for Christmas is to be able to afford to move away from this school district.

No.  All I want for Christmas is for my children to be happy at school.

No.  All I want for Christmas is a school that will actually help them be the best they can be.

No.  All I want for Christmas is to have a real job, where people appreciate me and I feel like I've done something helpful.

No.  All I want for Christmas is to be with my kids more.

No.  All I want for Christmas is to never have to work weekends again.

No.  All I want for Christmas is to make enough money to fix all our financial worries.

No.  All I want is an impressive, flattering, yet not misleading resume.

You know what?  On second thought.  I just want to skip Christmas.  It is designed to be disappointing.


I'm not stressing out.  I'm not stressing out.  I'm not stressing out.

And Thanksgiving is TWO DAYS AWAY, and I don't even know what I'm going to bring.  Mom says the fruit salad.....maybe that is what I'll do.....

Ok.  And now to apply for another job.
