Thank you P and CanDo for the posts. You two are very kind:)
We have had very bad weather today. Tornados in Florida!
On the Recovery front: I had to go to the bank today and deposit enough money to be able to get them to unfreeze the account. This was soooo humiliating. We are overdrawn in one bnk and had a freeze on the other. All the while the children are oblivious to how serious their parents screwed up. (We have told them we are broke, but they just don’t get it.)
Yesterday We went to the Grand Floridian for lunch and had a 50% off coupon. Daughter had to pay her share. We got into one of the parks for free and got complimentery waters and used another coupon for free popcorn. This is how a CG manages Disney:)
We had to go for our niece she turns 6 tomorrow. Most of the family bailed on my sister in law and we just couldnt let her down too. So, our truck is not getting repossed this month (thank you God). We didn’t let anyone down in the family. Our nephew hung with us all afternoon. My son and nephew are close in age and don’t get to see each other all that much. Lots of good things there.
It just kills me that it has been a month without throwing money into the slots and we are still moment to moment with money.
I am sorry for ranting here. I just cant seem to believe what a mess we have made. Our children expect a Christmas. They also expect hot water and electricity (ha ha).
One day at a time. I have no control over where that former gambled money went. I can only control where the next money goes. I see now that I was chasing my losses. Running deeper and deeper into the hole.
Thank God we stopped when we did. I think I probably was one step away from doing something illegal!
