I read back over my previous entries to find that wow even in dark hours I was positive. While the economy is still suffering, hubby found a job and we are both working full time and trudging along. Telling the kids to hold on until one of us makes a little extra still bothers me. I still wish I could simply go to the store, see something I like and buy it. We still have not won the lottery ( surprise surprise lol), however as long as we buy a ticket we still have a chance. The kids are growing up fast and were finding lots of free family activities and were closer than before.
Today we all went fishing, last night we gathered in the yard after eating a filling meal and watched the neighbors set off what they could afford. While life throws us hills that sometimes feel like mountains we are still here and still trying each and everyday. I can say some days I actually smile for real and not just to get by.
